For whatever you’re looking for, get CPO (certified pre-owned). 1-5yrs old gently used is where it’s at.

Else it depends on the type of car you are looking for, your priorities, and the specs

Cars.com search the vehicle you want within a 500 mile radius. Usually can find what you want for significantly less than your area.

I found the best deals out of state. Bought one new car in Ohio and one in Michigan. Search dealer inventory for the make model and features you want and then look for cheapest, factoring in your cost of going to get it.

Ford Fusion — I’ve owned several and my 2015 currently has ~115K miles and hasn’t had a single major issue, aside expected maintenance.

Hi, I'm an employee at a hotel chain who works remotely. I've been working remotely for over a year now and I love it! The company I work for is very supportive of remote workers, which is great.

But there's one thing that's been bothering me: it's hard to get feedback on my work when I'm not in the office. It would be great if there was some kind of system that let me know how my performance was being evaluated while I'm working on projects from home.

My natural instinct is to assume rejection if I have conflict with a partner or don’t think my feelings are reciprocated. I’ll try to bring it up with them, but I’ll say “if you want to end this feel free” so it doesn’t hurt me (and they can say what they really mean instead of sugarcoating). Someone told me today that they just assume I’m not interested because I always seem to “run” but I’m not sure how to bring up problems/feelings otherwise. How do you approach these hard questions?

Told a friend of mine in tech I was considering moving to BCG. He asked me if I would have to move to Boston.

I followed up by asking what he thought the top consulting firms were. "I'd guess PwC and then McKinsey are the best. I've also heard of KPMG, Deloitte, and Bain, but I don't know much about them."

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.
