Can’t argue with this one at all. If you want a cheap way into getting some attention at Radwood or really any other car show with something different that’s also fun to drive, a mostly clean (other than the TMU) manual RWD turbo Euro hatch oddity is a great way to do it.

And less than a week later they’re already down to 8, with plenty of 2025 S and SV options still available. Won’t be long before they’re gone and the $279/month with cash down on a 2025 will be the only option. And like I mentioned on another reply I bet with how hard a time they have moving Armadas, Pathfinders, etc…

All manufacturers have different rules on how you can advertise deals. The manufacturer structures the money factor, rebates, and residual, and have national lease offers usually on the base models. But dealers are able to advertise their own deals with different down payments or mileage allotments. Some manufacturers…

To be fair beating a Model 3 interior isn’t that hard. It’s just a big downgrade from our other cars I couldn’t ever see getting one as a replacement, only to use a few times a week to keep the miles down on my Giulia. But even so, even though I don’t like EVs if I was in CO I would definitely consider it because of…

I haven’t driven a new one but I have driven a first-gen. Space doesn’t automatically mean it’s nice, good visibility is one thing but being a basic economy car (this is S-base model only at this deal) it’s going to be a downgrade from a normal daily driver.

OK yes you’re right they have 15. It doesn’t change the fact that I doubt they’ll be there long enough for the normal person to just walk in and be able to get one. They have so much trouble selling their normal cars, I would bet good money that with the entire lease only costing ~$2k that half or more will be thrown…

Not sure about Nissan but the cars I sold had a clause in the lease that they can’t be used for ride-share or delivery. I’m sure people didn’t listen to it but they’d be at risk of repo if they found out.

Yes, yes there is.

Other than losing a lot of storage space and all practical access to the trunk, I think it actually looks pretty cool as far as body-kitted Corvettes go. Wasn’t there another one that was actually called a different model a few years back and was in all the racing games (maybe now I’m thinking that was a Viper)?

The catch is “must take delivery from dealer stock.” Being an S with probably no options my guess is like all lease special cars they probably got maaaaybe 3 of them? And the rest are higher trims, and even though they technically could do the same deal structure and get it to like $99/month plus acq and handling fee…

I’m hoping Alfa’s sales being down is mostly just the combination of the Giulia/Stelvio production ending/impending replacement plus the Tonale being so new. Mostly because I don’t want to lose my local dealer but I wish more people gave them a chance. They’re great cars and from all the long-term owners I’ve seen on…

Yup, and I wonder why no one else makes videos about vaporware cars and rolling models. Probably because every other reviewer has a little bit of integrity, realizes they’re bullshit and knows their audience will see they’re bullshit too. 

If you’re actually trying to experience the road trip, the worst place is anywhere that’s also available at home. I’ll give a pass to a quick fast food lunch stop if you can’t find a random local joint or food truck on your chosen exit, but if you’re sitting down at an applebees driving through SW US, you’re doing it…

If they didn’t transfer the title the state wouldn’t know to contact them saying there was no insurance on it.

Problem with data like that is it’s so uncontrolled though. If you looked at a head-on collision between a Bolt and a Suburban, (drivers don’t matter, assume a collision happened) the Suburban is going to be safer for the occupants of the vehicle. You’d need to control for driver type, driving style, not only…

I completely agree with you, I won’t ever argue that a car like this would beat the market. But there are people that will still buy a car as an investment regardless of the advice or standard market performance and just put it away without driving at all. I’d hazard a guess that this would do better as an investment…

I’m really surprised that wasn’t on here. Because yeah it was the fastest by far, and a lot faster than anything on this slideshow.

This exactly. The tests are using an immovable object so every car has the same impact, but the real world introduces so many variables.

The MP4-12C would honestly probably be a good car to buy as a pack-away investment. They’ve dropped fast, one sold with 46k miles on Cars and Bids last month for $81k, so they’re “cheap.” They’re also problematic, so not something you’d really actually want to use. Like the ‘80s supercars that got super cheap, there…

I think you’re giving Tesla too much benefit of the doubt on this.
