Pretty sure you could lease a brand new EV for $4k over the next 3 years and be much happier

My gripes about ATL:
The absolute shit show that is customer service in any restaurant/bar in the airport. I get that you’re not going to get michelin quality service in any airport, but ATL’s is by far the worst out of any airport I’ve ever flown through.

lol I guess that’s me. But only because the weekend before it was 70* so the top and doors came off, and then I need to go somewhere a few days later and the wife already took her car out.

My current car, a ‘23 Bronco 2-dr Badlands with a myriad of options. Currently running me $456/month (I pay $300 bi-weekly). 60 months @ 5.79%.

Another reason a lot of people chose the likes of Granger in Iowa and Stephens in WV is their transparency. I feel fucking icky after leaving a car lot, whether I bought something or not. The fact that these dealers were willing to go on a message board and have a clear pricing policy without any “well, you know this…

That was me. I landed on my neck and broke my collarbone.

It would be expensive to maintain, but with a single owner and that many miles, i assume a whole lot of Audi-gremlins would have been taken care of by now..... However I don’t know what to believe, the seller contradicts himself. YMMV

Yep, I know that I’ll probably get my reservation filled at a later date than most everyone else since I went with the small dealer in WV.

Assuming you were already going to option the required leather, larger infotainment screen, and Auto Transmission on a regular Sahara, the jump in price to a Sahara 4xe is $6,035. Which when you take into account the $7500 tax credit it’s a no brainer.

It is the markup like you said, but also because most of those vehicles listed on Autotrader or Cars.com are actually customer ordered vehicles in transit to the dealership.  The dealer systems automatically load them into the 3rd party sites even though they are ‘spoken’ for (because technically those vehicles aren’t…

Not only are the colors extra cost, but they are $1500 - $2500 extra which is not chump change. Maybe color paint is really that much more expensive over white/black?

From the first word of your comment I was thinking “This guy needs a Maverick” and lo and behold you came the same conclusion by the end.

Especially the EV version that may or may not be out by next summer.  Dunno how that fits into his price requirements though.

And honestly, I don’t see how this would save the state any money. I mean in 2 years time they may be able to preach that they kept $1m of SNAP money from going to people that actually need it, but won’t discuss how much money it actually cost the state to manage the whole asset test program.

I think there’s a larger double-din LCD panel below the old CRT.

it is absolutely a thing, I see it all over the Midlands and upstate.

The biggest hassle is figuring out how to join while not being a part of the DOD/DOJ. I think I had to donate some money ($5-$20) to a military family fund.

I’ve had very good experiences with both PenFed and Lightstream. PenFed financed a 14 year old Lexus at 0.99% / 36 months. Lightstream financed my wife’s Flex without a lien hold. I’m assuming both of these options were due to my very good credit, so ymmv.

Hah that Audi is just a few miles from my house, I've seen it around town a few times.  Definitely catches the eye.
