What OPTION or Options Would Have To Be Missing For You To Turn Down An Insane Deal On A Ride YOU Like?

We live in a finicky world. A world of extreme customization in almost every thing we do.

Most people can't walk into a Starbucks and just say I'd like a coffee, whatever you got. It's gotta be the caramel slurper with two pumps, extra shot, etc.

Or most can't go in a bar and say I'll take a beer, doesn't matter which. It MUST be something like the Rambo Amber, North River, Cranberry IPA.

So it's no shock that we're the same way, when it comes to cars.

What we would like to know is are there 'deal breaker' options or LACK of when you see a vehicle you like, for sale, at a crazy low price?

And what is the option or option that would have to be missing for you to walk on the 'bro' deal?

I'll start with one of mine. I'll never buy another vehicle without active cruise with full stop/go.

Let us know what yours are or if you would just suck it up and take the killer deal.

Nothing really, though the first time I experienced active cruise control with full stop/go I found it most unsettling. Most recently I was in a Ford Escape and it has active cruise control with 4 distance settings and it's a bit of a nervous nelly as it resolutely slows down. It is some interesting technology though because I've been driving an active cruise control vehicle that will hit the brakes seemingly for no reason because it senses things that you may not yet perceive.

But nothing is really a deal breaker for me except for color. I hate green, beige, white pearl, brown, and usually orange.

I was originally thinking nothing until I read your post on color... yea color could be a deal breaker!

One requirement for my last two auto acquisitions was adaptive cruise. I fell in love with it in my Outback, and in some ways my Kia is even better. But yes, the settings require a little tweaking to my satisfaction.

Have just bought a white car at $44K off the MSRP of $153K, do not like white but at $44K off we can have it wrapped.

I love listening to music in my car. Must have the top of the line sound system.

If Kia would offer to swap my Niro PHEV lease into a Niro EV lease, no cash, same terms, just an proportional higher monthly payment, I would seriously consider it. But since there's still two years left on my lease, I'm not in the market right now.

I have to have a driving position that I have to be able to adjust so that I am Comfortable - at 6'8". Many cars are just too small. Some need a Telescoping Steering wheel. I may need power adjustments to lower the seat so that I have some headroom on others. That is why I have to actually drive the cars I buy - to see if I can comfortably drive them.
