This weekend, RQS and I went car shopping. And I'm still not sure if I want to drop the hammer on this car, a 2020 Hyundai Sonata. The car is nicer than the Elantra I wanted to buy, but it has 2 years of mileage on it. As I started to write this, it's a flip of the coin that I will buy this car of not. And if I don't, I'll likely spend the money to put new tires and brakes on my old car, and keep it on the road for at least another year.

Both of us felt a positive vibe when we entered the salesroom. Our salesman was eager to see us, and noted that the car we wanted wasn't in stock. However, this conflicts with the ad I saw online, but I digress... He asked if I was willing to look at a gently used car, and I said yes. Within 5 minutes, RQS and I were out on local roads taking a test drive.
Of course, the salesman knew he had a good product and a potential customer. In some ways, the car could sell itself. But, given that I am going to reduce my income for the short term when I leave my job, I am a little leery on taking on debt for a used car I am not fully sold on. So I think I will pass on the deal and see if other dealerships for other brands have something I'd like.
