Anyone have experience with buying a used car through a car buying consultant? Genuinely curious to see if the network, experience they bring can help me land a better deal than doing it on my own.

I worked with an auction whole seller to buy my Rover. The deal was that I pay them $1000 fee to find the exact car I want. I gave them my minimum criteria then they find it, confirm with me, They buy it, ship it here, I inspect it - if I don’t like it - they dump it and get me the next one. I ended up with a full size black/black range rover v8 supercharged - 2 years old with 18k miles for 55k. No wrecks, Premium audio, cooled seats (because Texas), and a bunch of other options and perks. I won’t buy any other way...

Use a broker, they post their deals. You can try to beat them if you’d like.

Post their deals where?

Senior attorneys at v100, how common is it for attorneys who start at small firms to lateral to biglaw? Have you worked with any? Conventional wisdom is always that if you don’t start there it’s hard to “trade up”. My coworker and I just did it to two different great v30 firms, and I’m wondering if it’s really that uncommon? Just out of curiosity. We’re not special counsel with special niche skills or anything, just associates. Pitfalls to beware? Positives?

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?
