Given that it’s a Toyota I’m surprised they suffer the same cannonball depreciation as other high end luxury cars. That being said, If I was going to buy a cheap used luxury car, it would definitely be a Lexus. Not this one.

Looks more like an Aspire.

Half of them look moments away from a massive coronary.

I’m having some difficulty finding US prices easily, but I think the Kia Stinger GT would be a viable option.

Most of us could afford maintenance on a 91 Accord. I doubt many could afford the maintenance on her.

At my last job, our manager would bring her daughter in on her days off school to do all of our online safety training.

It’s fun with a turbo. 

I’m pretty sure the first generation(s) were based on a Mitsubishi, the latter was based on the Sebring platform. 

I strongly doubt you’ll actually be able to find a MR model at the low end of the pricing. I honestly think this is a play to move the Corvette brand a bit higher up in the market. Anyone with less money can buy a Camaro.

People that would traditionally be buying a Corvette are likely waiting for the new one.

We’re getting closer and closer to a time when airbags will have an expiry date. One that’s enforced by regulators and insurance agencies.

If you had the resources to build a magical freeway system, you would likely also have some sort of standard required, or recommended, for compatibility.

I’m related to and have worked with several different types of successful sale people. The more “successful” they are, the bigger the douche they are.

“Factory training” means sitting at a computer and completing some online courses for the most part. 

I would say if it’s 7 years old and has been dailied most of those 7 years, you’re probably past the point of said random failure happening. You’re now more into the motor reaching a slightly premature end of life. 

If you have zero down and negative equity, you REALLY need to assess if you need to purchase another new vehicle.

There’s a difference between making contact, then hammering out the finer points by email and making cold contact and negotiating via email. As the original comment seems to suggest.

Have you replaced the fuel pump yet?

Even modern GMs will run like shit longer than most cars will run. 

For a store front operation, the lease would only be a small part of the monthly liabilities. It’s way cheaper to have an empty unit sitting there with a minimal power bill and a security system (presumably) than it is to keep them staffed, clean, maintained.
