Congrats, and I'm glad it worked out! I hope your search for the replacement is equally as entertaining.

Not really. but, maybe, kinda.

One car the way I want is in transit to a local dealer that won't talk to me. Two cars that would work are on the ground at dealers within 325 miles (one at the dealer that won't talk to me). 14 total cars that would work are in transit to dealers within 500 miles.

I've spoken to five dealers with cars incoming in the past 10 days and am sure I could work a deal with three of them. But, deciding to refinance the house has put the purchase on pause for a month or so. With that delay, I may just order a car the way I want and I'll get it when I get it (which would probably be early October if there are no additional COVID shutdowns).

If anything pops up in the Philly or Rochester areas that you want someone to lay eyes on, let me know.
