I love the Personal Heat Map layer in the browser. When are we getting it in the app? I want to be able to easily see where I haven't been, for those times I'm hiking without a predetermined route and just want to cover new ground.
A local dealer has a Trailseeker in the exact trim and color I'm looking for. They've given me a quote and I put down a deposit. I'm scheduled to go in tomorrow to finalize.
I haven't negotiated a car in like 15 years. I've read up on a lot of strategies, but I think this is a more unique situation, given the high demand and low supply. I'm also new to Subaru.
I do have a trade in (2013 Tucson). I was expecting the car to arrive in July, but it's early. I have the cash on hand, but the current promo is 0% financing. Do I try to stall to July and see if a better dealer incentive comes? Any other tips or leverage I can use?
Family vacation in a few weeks! We're two teachers and a year old from Maryland, visiting for the first time. We're strong hikers, and want to thoroughly experience both parks. I've been researching this itinerary since November, and I'm ready to take critique.
​
Couple of things:
We're not people who stick strictly to an itinerary, but I believe it's a good exercise to make one, and a good tool to have on hand. We're going to be flexible once we're there.
I'm confident in our ability (including the 5 year old) to do the hikes listed. We know our limits, and we know when to turn around if it's too much.
Some days are pretty light. If there's an experience or hike that fits a blank space, I definitely want to fill things in.
I'm trying to minimize driving/backtracking. Identifying any efficiencies would be great.
Accommodations are already booked, so those can't be changed.
