You’d have to pay me $5K to drive a Sentra (on top of giving me the car for free)
I mean their target audience probably comes in with a monthly payment budget spread out across 30 years. Markup will barely be noticeable.
Historically sales dip and then start increasing as Spring time rolls around. I think another spike is right around the corner.
Red line is end of March.
Yes. What will be interesting to watch this year given some head-winds:
- far fewer Americans will receive tax refunds
- with gas price and new/used car price inflation: will upgrade buyers pull the trigger or wait (fewer wants / more needs)? How many people will make an expensive impulse switch to something more fuel efficient?
- as loan/lease rates creep up, will that slow sales?
All of that with ongoing impairments to supply: chips, rubber, wiring harnesses, palladium, nickel, natural disasters, civil unrest - just to name a few.
*googles “palladium” *
We discuss causes over in
Here, people mostly want to talk about 2nd order effects.
When I got my wedding ring, I got primarily palladium because I wanted something interesting and different. I’m going to have to fight off catalytic convertor thieves now.
Palladium has done me very well the last 5 years. I’m up about 500% on it. Great industrial metal to hold on to
I won’t even talk about my rhodium gains. The physical market has completely detached from the paper market. Expect more of that with metal in the future. It’s all a scam. Gold should be 15k an ounce. Silver 100
I though you leased a lot. How did you not know this? LOL
read on another forum that current orders for 2022 Lexus NX350h are expected to be fulfilled in August.
don’t know about insanely busy weekend, but my dealers have been dumping a lot of dated used inventory that they have had for over 90 days (all overpaid for).
“ Hello Everyone, I’m considering letting go of my very special, custom 2020 M5. I love this car, but starting a family and need to move to an suv. I am offering 2 options for potential interest: 1. Takeover my lease, but I would need $30,000 in cash, to cover the cost of my down payment and all the modifications. Example, the wheels/tires alone cost 15K, and the wheels hold their full value. 2. Buy the car, and you will get all stock parts, plus everything listed below. Asking $149,999 or best offer. MSRP was 130K + 30K of modifications + inflation, -10K for one year of driving. Serious inquiries only please.”
1400/mo with 11 mo remaining. Plus 30k down
Not only is he a dreamer but it’s a pre-LCI at that.
And WTH mods a lease car…
And then gets 25/36th the utility from the mods and expects to recoup 100%?
I hope it ends up repo’ed and they get a bill to return it to stock.
This is nothing…there could be a whole thread about just bad SAL listings…
ya was wondering if there should be a separate thread.
There was an x3 m40 on there for 700/mo with like 11 months remaining as well, who wanted 12k firm down and said "dont waste my time if not serious and the car is clearly worth this ". They’re pretty entertaining.
There’s already a similar one where a lot of these get posted.
