Did anyone score any interesting deals during Cyber Monday? The processor I picked out for my lab system build actually went up in price

Looking to get a new Toyota, waiting till mid december when folks are REALLY wanting to make their numbers for the year and fighting for the #1 spot.

Yea I was impatient and panicking a bit about replacing the car I am presently driving (with all the issues). I was looking at getting a crappy runaround car like a hyundai getz, to basically get me to and from work only. The thing is here, cars dont have a mandatory yearly inspection and cheap cars are not that cheap.. The hyundai getz was $2500 and I was not confident it would last 6 months. Compared with 2nd hand cars in England, I could spend $800 and get an excellent well-looked-after car that will last a couple of years with absolutely ZERO maintenance on it (I mean no oil change, no brakes nothing) just check oil is at the right level and there is water in the coolant as usual... At the end of the 2 years (max!), take it to the scrap and collect $200 in scrap and buy another.

I was looking at this earlier today https://comma.ai/ -> basically, autonomous driving for the Toyota. Dont think it works in the "land down under" though. The Toyota I have bought has some of this already built in (stop/start/steering and emergency braking).

Good luck with your purchase. Arm yourself before you go to the dealer by looking for the car you want online. And when they give you the price you can say hang on... You probably already know this. Make sure to get the android/apple car play and the long warranty included

I plan on finding getting a good price on-line, then emailing all the dealers close to me, and getting them to bid against one another.

dlots - im keen to know how that goes!

I'll let you know :-D

My dealer (the 2nd one I saw and whom I've signed the contract) contacted me yesterday asking if I would like to accept a different colour as he can't yet secure the black over pearl white. He said other dealers dont want to let their cars go.

So I thought that maybe the first dealer I went to and discussed the car is holding out for me going back there. I think next time the first dealer calls me I should just say I bought a Kia. 🙈 Caused myself a little problemette.

Well, can you wait for the car, or do you need to start looking for something different? Or does the color matter to you?

Myself, I don't want a black or white car, as it's too easy to see dirt on those finishes. I like gray or brown.

dark cars are hot, dark interiors are hot.  dark cars with dark interiors are hotter.  If you live in one of those climates.
