One of the least pleasant aspects of buying a car is navigating your way through the actual purchasing process. Itʼs one of the largest purchases most consumers will make, and sometimes buyers come away feeling as if theyʼve been fleeced.
However, things shouldnʼt be so lopsided. Especially in the age of the internet, negotiating a deal is less art than science. Would-be buyers can research their purchase thoroughly to even up those odds. Hereʼs how to navigate your way through making a deal.

Despite a global pandemic that has led to countless job losses and much uncertainty, stock markets have once again reached new all-time highs. Although that has provided many investors cause for celebration, it has made others wary.
For some investors, it’s not easy to invest when stock markets hit new highs as they fear equities are at, or close to, a peak, and a crash could be on the way. However, the reality is investors will see new all-time highs on stock markets many times during their lifetimes.

Making our own luck
New Zealand is an island nation but exists in a world awash with coronavirus. So far we have acted well and been lucky.
But with the new more virulent strains there is a significant probability that our defences will be breached. The virus works in mysterious ways.
There is a scene in
Promising Young Woman where Cassandra (Carey Mulligan), a thirty-something barista out to set sexual predators straight, is in conversation with one of her “victims.” He expresses that being accused of sexual misconduct is a man’s “worst nightmare.” To which she responds: “Do you know what a woman’s is?”
The exchange is a riff on a famous Margaret Atwood anecdote that any young woman who has spent enough time on feminist blogs (what I assume is this film’s target demographic) is instantly familiar with. Atwood asks a male friend why men feel threatened by women. “They’re afraid women will laugh at them,” he responds. But when Atwood asks women why they feel threatened by men, their answer is far more pointed: “We’re afraid of being killed.”
