100% agree on Badhobz' suggestion for Tesla. Model 3 or Y -- the rebates, no BS, and availability really make them the most attractive deal for new cars right now. I also agree with the others that in this day and age, the car sales dealership model has become outdated, and outlived it purposes. It is exactly like the taxi model becoming outdated, and getting replaced by a combination of car sharing programs and Uber/Lyft.

Question for Badhobz though -- I can't help but noticed that you were putting in a LOT of effort into helping this female coworker of yours. Wink wink nudge nudge

Ultimately when we did the math, the tesla was just a cheaper purchase.
The Model Y can be delivered this month, no games, no dealer bs. Just need to make sure you can find somebody who can qualify you for the rebates and it works out to be about the same if not cheaper than a ratrolla or a civic.
