my dad had an electric corded mower that lasted 15 years, then it finally died.

I went online and bought the exact same one for $40 on facebook marketplace and I've been using it for the last 3 years lol

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Former U.S. President George W. Bush mistakenly described the invasion of Iraq as "brutal" and "unjustified" before correcting himself to say he meant to refer to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

“The result is an absence of checks and balances in Russia, and the decision of one man to launch a wholly unjustified and brutal invasion of Iraq,” Bush said, before correcting himself and shaking his head. "I mean, of Ukraine."

Beaut

bush is becoming quite the comedian lol

Freudian slip for sure.

Looking to buy a non-local car from a dealership (it's on the Island).

Anyone know what kind of questions I should be asking the dealership over the phone on my initial call they do have a price listed on the website.

Should watch the video. It's gold

Who was the previous driver(s). You want to avoid previous curtosy/daily rental cars. Also if it's a recent-ish car try to avoid if purchased at an auction. (Ex: a ford returning from a lease, If in decent shape they will keep the car and resell themselves. But if it's in shit shape they will sent it to an auction and a used car store will buy it from the auction and sell it themselves)

If they have any maintenance records

If they have a copy of the Carfax and verify if it has any accident/repair history. 100% verify the Carfax

If they add any admin/delivery fee on the contract and it's not listed on their online price or in the description online tell them they failed to mention that in their price listed and to remove it

Generally avoid any extra insurance/warranty they will try to sell you

Test drive it and turn off music and pay attention to any weird sound

thank you I think most of this does not apply because it's a new car (availability is scarce, none close to me).

Do dealerships typically do negotiating over the phone or will I have to go there?

(FYI I've never bought a car before, at least not on my own like I will for this one lol)

Ask for ETA a lot of new cars have delays right now
due to the shortage of new cars there is not much negotiation going on for you unfortunately.

If you have more than 1 dealer around for the car you want get quotes from all of them and try to have them beat each other
