I think the blue one is going to win out.

Red: $288, 6-hour one-stop flight to an airport 45 minutes away from Carmax, 4 hour drive to my sister's, and a 16-hour drive home.

Blue: Ability to haggle, $53 2-hour non-stop flight to an airport 14 miles from the dealership, 12 hour drive home.

Just got a text from the Florida dealership about the Silver 2020. He's working up a deal. This should be good. LOL

just transfer it to Carmax Dulles and get a non-stop into IAD. Meet a few cool NoVA denizens for some lunch, then 6hr drive thru some of the nice curvy road networks to your sister's.

Not a bad suggestion, IF Carmax can handle the logistics of doing the deal in Dallas for a Virginia car, then making it happen at a different store altogether. $288 one-stop flight (ironically in Charlotte). We'll see what happens. Hoping to get my Carmax appraisal this afternoon.

Carmax is ruthless about ripping all non-factory parts off a car and putting new official FOrd parts back on. That's why their prices are worse. So if you have anything that is obviously aftermarket, best to remove before getting quote or they'll lowball you for a good reason.

Check your PMs.

I figured they wouldn't be happy about the catch can. Before I switch it back, I'll likely just sell the car outright to someone who appreciates the fact that it's there, along with the intercooler.

Someone deliver me from temptation. The one thing I didn't like about my 2018 was that 10-speed. This would sure fix that issue.
Used car values are insane right now. I paid $17,000 for the Focus a year ago. Combine that with great leftover 2020 discounts, and it's so tempting.

Oh, I'm way past being talked out of it at this point. Just finding one, figuring out what to do with my current car, and snagging it before someone else does, is today's challenge.

Starting to sound like the used car market is at the hot levels of real estate these days...Glad I got in during covid last year for both a car and a house, even then already tough.
