I got a new-used car. It's a 2020 Buick Encore AWD. Technically it was listed as one-owner used because one of the big dealership groups in Savannah bought it from their Buick lot back in June and used it as a loaner car on their BMW lot. It had 2,170 miles on it. They let it go for $18k with tax and everything out the door, which tells me they were looking to just not own it anymore. 

Also they offered me $480 trade for the poor ol' Hyundai. I was able to wiggle them up to $700 but I think they were probably more correct considering the robust problems it was developing.

My S/O said I had to pose with it for a photo:

Nah she ended up with a Nissan Juke and loves it. Got a great deal on a 2017 because they were discontinuing them and that was the final production year. It keeps up her tradition of only owning the weirdest possible vehicles.

I had my S/O list out the cars she's owned as proof. The vast majority of these were hand-me-downs from her dad, who is a notorious "spot a car in someone's yard and offer them a few hundred cash for it" kinda guy. None of these were close to new when she got them, so the years are not chronological even if they look like it, if that makes sense. 

Here is what she recalls:

1975 MG Midget (First car, started the whole trend)
1978 VW Beetle 
1990 Mazda 3 ("The only normal car I ever owned. It also lasted the longest, and maybe that's related?" she contemplated upon remembering the car) 
1995 Mazda Miata 
1999 Jeep Wrangler (With hodgepodge lift kit)
2003 Mini Cooper
2005 VW New Beetle (Which she was driving when we met)

And that is now capped off with a 2017 Nissan Juke.

Your SO drove all the vehicles that a 17 year old male would want (except for the Bug). She's only missing a clapped out pickup truck and a Mustang/Civic missing an exhaust.

Speaking of the Mazda 3, I looooove the new Mazda 3. In fact all of their cars look awesome.

Just found out the Army thinks I’m fit to be promoted to Major. Should be fun.

The best part is up until the Mini, they were all hand-me-downs because she has two siblings who the cars would filter through first. And all that is after these cars mostly being found in yards or bought with a few hundred bucks cash from the classifieds by her dad and "fixed up" by an uncle who was a carpenter by trade and kinda roughly knew something about cars. 

The condition of all these cars by the time she got them is legendary. Pushing 250k miles, pieces and parts constantly falling off, stuff fixed with duct tape, etc.

Ayyy congrats! 

You work at Hunter right? Or did I imagine that? 

I got my new car at Critz, which is on that street just on the other side of an entrance to the base. When I was driving to get it I had a thought of "I know someone from the forum works at Hunter or Stewart and I'm not sure who it is or which base."

Thanks! I’m stationed at Stewart but on a rotation to Korea now. Sucks to be away from home, but at least I’m in a country that has a handle on the ‘rona. The country actually started implementing prevention measures when they got to 500 cases per day.
