New Car Help (with pole)

I owned two All-Road wagons and loved them. I never had to do anything to mine.

As far as buying the car, regardless of what you purchase, simply ask the dealer for the invoice on the vehicle. That is what they paid for it and they are required in California to show it to you (I lived in Silverlake for some years). Then refuse to pay more than the industry standard markup on top of that. Either one of those cars is not hard to find. You have options to buy from somewhere else.

Finally, if you are planning on keeping your dead body car you should really think about a lease to own. Three years to drive it and at the end you can: buy it, give it back, or lease a brand new one. I started doing it on cars I thought about paying off but wasn’t sure I wanted to commit. Turns out the residuals are fair and you end up getting a certified pre-owned that you drove.
