That’s rust-free in MI-speak.

You have a high opinion of people's memories.  When they have a decent supply of cars people will get a key in the mail and go down to claim the car they think they won and walk out with a 500 a month ten year loan on a Sentra because they have negative equity on thier trade in at this very dealership.  There are…

I’ve seen more than a few people who bought 2020-2021 Toyota Tacomas for MSRP, put 3,000 to 5,000 miles on the truck, then gotten offers from Carvana for $5-$10k more than they paid for it. 

And if the dealership lands some schmuck who coughs up the big bux, that means they were exactly right in doing so. The dealership is there to turn a profit so they stay in business—duh. And if we’re actually talking capitalism, then charge what the market will bear. Make Adam Smith proud. If it turns out they…

Those are some nice facts. But I’m worried they’ll get in the way of us getting more Tundra articles. We only have 5 today. If we can’t post frivolous comparisons that are incorrect, how will we shit on the Tundra? 

What a weird take. I mean, 1455 ish lbs is a really good number for an off-road trim. It’s more than a Raptor, it’s more than a TRX, it’s not that far off from a power wagon (non-tradesman)

There are some deals to be had depending on what you are looking for and what you have to sell/trade. I traded in my ‘16 Audi S6 for a CPO Range Rover. The RR had only 16k miles and was in like new condition- not a scratch or blemish on or in the entire car and I got it at a price that was about 22% depreciation from…

I bought a used truck in March, didn’t have a payment for 2 months. However, the interest rate was so low it really doesn’t matter (dealer actually got me a better rate than I prequalified for with one of my credit card companies, which itself was only 3.75%.) Why did I choose to pull the trigger then? First, the…

I’m in the opposite boat: yesterday, I just sold my 2016 base Porsche Cayman for the exact price to the dime that I paid for it CPO 3 1/2 years ago (thank you, CarMax!).

There’s 18 months of purchasing / lease exit/rollover necessities happening in the span of 6 months, when the production in the 12 months prior had been cut in half. There’s probably a few people who want to upgrade without a great reason, but my brother had an engine go out on his car, my sister in law blew a trans…

Scary thought: RWD, Manual, Sedan, Not a four cylinder, still under warranty.

I also bought a 2021 Venza Limited.

Hope you like your Venza. That is what we bought, but an older used one. Very pleased so far. One day hope to get the new model.

Not totally related to the article here, but another take on the situation.

Whew. We bought a new Venza in May and there was only 1 local dealer that would do the Costco program for it. Knowing the market was tight and getting even tighter, we took our 6% discount and ran.

Maybe they’re ‘built to last' somewhere without salt, but I can't recall seeing a clean one in the Midwest since they were new

True true.

General Motors!

“These are built to last.”
