Advice for financing a car the first time? My 2022 Honda Pilot SE lease ends in July and I plan to purchase a Honda Odyssey with $10-15k down after I get my bonus in March. Dealership already knows what I’d like and is okay with getting me out of the lease early. I’ve never financed a car though, any advice?

Don’t let them know your monthly payment budget. But do let them know they will have to compete with dealers not only in the local area but across many states. I bought my last 3 cars out of state because it’s cheaper, even with shipping cost.

Looking for a home office chair…I need something really ergonomic/comfortable but given the visibility of the office in the house the wife wants something stylish.

I feel like I’ve looked everywhere (Steelcase, Herman Miller, humanscale, Haworth, xchair, etc).

911 Carrera S vs GTS

I really want to do a low key spec on my next car but it’s almost impossible to spec the GTS without black wheels/accents turning it into a more aggressive looking car.

Thoughts on if the GTS in a 7 speed is more engaging than the S enough to justify the compromise in wheel selection?
