Get in on a 2022 for best chance at a discount. Rates will NOT be going down.

Did really bank waived the penalty or dealer just paid it for you?
I think theyâre hoping someone will have the facts theyâre looking for.
Look itâs a nice truck, and I know everything is bigger in TX including the ADMâs & Hard Adds but this is going a little far. Toyota Tundra TRD ProâŚToyota crew, is this within striking distance of getting a non - LH person to pay or is this exceeding even current reality?
There never has been and never will be a TOYOTA that I pay a 30K premium for. Or ANY premium for a Toyota for that matter.
Thatâs a lot of blessings.

I wouldnât pay a 30K premium on a house just like I wouldnât pay a 30K premium on a car.

Well. I dont know if a house is a good comparison. Almost no 2 houses are exactly the same. Having a house that checks all of your boxes (good neighborhood, good schools, no repair needed) is worth to many to pay an extra 30k and many do. Youre right thought, 30k on a mass produced Toyota is a joke though and many wont pay that.

There is certainly things that can make a home worth a premium over another like a fresh roof, foundation, quality renovation etc.
I guess I should clarify that I meant that 30K over listing price on a home is a no go for me.
Stay in TX. Cali is insane, as 30K premium is literally nothing here. This is Belvedere Island (where I grew up) and the MEDIAN house price is 4.4 million. Want to live on an island?

Your fleeing neighbors have brought that market dynamic to us unfortunately.
I surmise the realtors around here are more like auctioneersâŚhappy to gin up their clientâs âadvantageâ. I wouldnât even know how to approach a market like that.
edit: oh yeah, I wouldnât! lol
I imagine this will work only as long as theyâre selling cars. Once the demand destruction starts they will change their tune. Now- when that will happen is the million dollar question.
As they say âthe fix for high prices is high pricesâ

I donât know if youâve looked recently, but my search for â< $1M with price reductionsâ in many parts of SoCal has exploded in the last 10 days. Like used cars, price levels appear to have hit a ceiling and bounced for the first time in probably 8 years. It used to just catch $1/$1000 reductions, lots of $10/$25k/$50k drops and still sitting. Probably overpriced to start, but buyers arenât biting.
The closest comparable for me was when I was trying to sell my DC house in Spring 2013 and missed the hot market by 3 weeks, ended up renting it for 3 years.
Lots of variables in play in both over-heated markets

Kind of my thinking as well. While buying out oneâs lease may make financial sense from the point of view of cost, I would not be surprised that once the car market tanks (of course a prediction but my feeling is its coming), people who bought out their leases will be under water if they try to sell it later (as the argument goes). Plus, youâll have an older vehicle with older tech and out of warranty.

I think thatâs where hidden inflation will rear itâs ugly head. Values will hold on paper but the fiat will buy much less in the future.
If you can make a better return rate on the money, borrow someone elseâs
And they still have the nerve to put a pinstripe on.
Well, Iâm sure Mercedes still cares about a good number of cars (C- and E-Class arenât going anywhere, and there will likely be SOME sort of entry level car, but not both an A- and a CLA), but I think the whole âbest selling luxury make in the USâ isnât going to be the goal that it used to be.
I imagine theyâre going to try to be a bit like Porsche (super expensive variations on their high end cars to bring in the $$$).
I personally donât think the approach will work that well, outside of G-Class variations. But weâll see.
