True story.

One has to wonder what other decisions you make in your life based more on what other people think than what you want.

It’s so beautiful, I’m amazed Toyota/Lexus even made it. This isn’t the kind of car they build.  In 5-10 years when they’ve been discontinued for a while you’re going to see every “car guy” on the internet asking why more people didn’t buy them.  The used values are going to be nuts.

Search nationally on car search engines like AutoTrader and CarGurus. Both of mine were RWD from Georgia (apparently the GS is a common lawyer/doctor lease car), I live in Denver. Fly there Friday night, pick it up Saturday morning then you’re home Sunday night.

It is the Z4ti, at least in price.

If I sit on the cash then buy the next car in 6 months, yeah.  My most likely next purchase is a Toyota BZ4X, so we’ll see what the tax credits are when those come out.

It was AutoNation, their HQ in Florida initially kicked it back as paying too much. I thought the deal was done. But the local (Denver) dealer sent back some kind of justification for the higher price here.

I don’t flip GPUs and PS5's, the ROI is too low for the cost of my time.

The market wasn’t “like this” when I ordered the Model Y last year.  As for the next buyer not being able to take advantage of the EV credit, blame lawmakers and the impatience of car buyers?  If the tax credit is essential to the next buyer, they…

I’m seriously considering the Toyota EV (BZ4X) next, depending on the self driving tech. I do love the $/mile of an EV but my Tesla was eating tires fast and the fit&finish could have been better.

I did, I sold one.  Increased supply means lower prices.  Not a brag, I got paid.

I got a carvana offer at $55K then listed it privately for $61K, it sold in a few hours. Strangely enough, a dealer bought it to resell so I left a few bucks on the table.

I bought one of the first post-covid Model Y’s for $55K in June 2020. Sales tax / registration roughly balanced out with federal / state EV tax credits. Drove it for 16K miles and sold it last Friday for $6K more than I had into it.

Is Toyota building it, or is Subaru building it? I’d assume since it’s Toyota’s first 100% EV, that they’re building it. But Toyota has been outsourcing cars a lot lately.

True story.

lol can’t this guy just be happy that he got to be married to Talulah Riley twice

I’d have a ‘16+ GX right now if the wife didn’t hate the grill. She loves the ‘16+ 200 series though, how do they always pick the more expensive option :-)

I went from an ‘08 IS350 to an off-lease ‘07 LS460 years ago. Just as fast in a straight line, rolled in the corners but was otherwise like driving a fast comfortable couch.  I’ve since owned an ‘11 GS460, ‘15 GS350 and now ‘21 LC500 Convertible.  All bought for half price or less, except the LC.

As I had my new LC500 convertible in for a small service item yesterday, one of the service advisors suggested there was an IS-F coming after the IS500. “With what engine”, I asked. There has been a rumored 4.0L twin-turbo V8 for a while now, but since Lexus let the “LC-F” trademark expire the odds of this ever…

Also in Colorado. Southwest Airlines should pay me a commission for all the body-on-frame Toyota buyers I send to the gulf states region to drive a car home.
