If you were going to do that to begin with, what's the point of coming in here to bitch about parking?
 

Americans lose their fucking minds if they're not allowed to go portal to portal in their cars, and god forbid they have to walk a few blocks. No wonder we look the way we do.

That’s a really convenient idea…I will find a free space a half mile away and carry 3-4 shopping bags that distance after I leave target. Why didn’t I think of that?

No thanks, I will stick with the free parking at their suburban locations if I choose to shop there.

I bought a used 2017 Charger from Krebs in Gibsonia in 2021. They were fine, salesman really didn't have to do much because I was pretty interested in the car so it was a just a matter of me test driving it really. Salesman let me test drive by myself, so that was great.

Cochran in Monroeville I dunno, I drove a used CTS before the Charger, the salesman was an old guy who generally seem bothered I showed up on a Friday to test drive the car. He had to come with me on the test drive, so pretty quickly after leaving the dealership, it was easy to feel a vibration in the car. I asked him if he felt it, he said yes but you could tell he didn't like what I asked after that. I asked him if the dealership would fix the vibration and was generally evasive in his answers "I don't know" "I'll have to get back to you"...the old curmudgeon never even bothered contacting me back to give me an answer. So I assume some sucker bought that car.

I lived in Beechview (City neighborhood- short ride outside of downtown on the T-line)…it was a great neighborhood with great non-stop Light Rail Transit north/south, along with very easy access to highways. In the day 20 years ago, housing prices were very affordable.

Martin Auto Sales and Martin Auto Gallery. My car was priced very fair during the worst of the covid used car crunch. They seemed to be good people.

Seriously, how many used car lots have a 4.7 and 4.8 google reviews rating?

It sounds like it may be out of the price range you’re working with, but my most successful car purchases have been certified pre-owned from a same-make dealership.

Most recently I bought a CPO Mazda from Rohrich Mazda and had a good experience – not much haggling to be done (which apparently is pretty standard these days with “internet pricing”), but the salesman (Jay, I think?) was low-pressure and communicated well, got me a good deal on my trade-in, and threw in some nice little extras. A nice add-on perk is that Rohrich offers lifetime free oil changes and state inspections (though not emissions tests) on every car they sell. I’ve done both multiple times – in and out with no charge and no upselling.

Carshop. Carshop. Carshop. Their prices are decent. No haggling. The salespeople are paid on salary so they'll actually help you find the best car for you and won't pressure you into anything. They'll actually suggest you drop by on sunday when they're closed to look at the vehicles they have on the lot. They'll transfer a vehicle to your closest location for free. Home delivery has a fee.

They have a lifetime powertrain warranty on all cars at no extra cost. You just have to keep up with regular oil changes.

My family has gotten 3 cars from them so far and won't ever go anywhere else.
