re: When would you all recommend getting a new car?

I believe for the entire month of September they have 1.9% financing for 5 years (if you have good credit of course). I also found a dealer in TX offering $5k+ off sticker. In today's environment, I considered it a decent deal. Also the XLT has almost everything you could want on a vehicle for much less than the higher end trims. So for ~$60k you can get a new XLT with leather, chilled seats, lane keep, etc. Again, I recommend the big one.
