The one I let go is on sale for $38k now. When I first saw that, it half made me wonder if I made the right choice.

I thought about suggesting "buy it, resell it and find the one you want for correct $$$" but figured that was too much effort.

In any case congrats on the future purchase.

If what I wanted was more difficult to find, I might have done that.

I've found Waze to be incredibly dependable in this particular heavily populated and traffic-y area. I've run into more speed trap reports where the cop has already moved on than traps that haven't yet been reported.

It tends to be pretty good here, too, but I can't stand that they don't let you turn off warnings about hazards. It's a constant annoyance that makes the police warnings not worth it.
