Are you unaware of what vehicles go for nowadays?


I am car shopping and not many nice SUV's or trucks for under 45k

Just bought a 2009 Lexus LX570

$540/mo for 60 months at 2.99%

I'm having regrets but I can afford it.

2015 Toyota crewmax limited 4x4
2015 Toyota sequoia limited 4x4
2015 Lexus gx460 premium 4x4

My current 4runner is paid for

I love my 2014. Looked at the 1794s, but I hated the western themed interior. They are trying too hard. I do wish I had the ventilated seats though.

...and I'm not the right demographic for the Platinum

Agree! 2014-15 Tundra Platinum is the only truck I would buy now. Interior is amazing, space is awesome, and exterior has so much potential. But I do want to see what the interior space for 2016 Tacoma will look like

notice I said 14 platinum because I can't pay the 67k for the new 15 model. A couple dealers have a 14' hanging around that they are looking to move. Same thing with the GMC Yukon denali sticker is near 70k.

I meant the Tundra Platinum. I think it has a terrible interior. Never looked at the Fords.

Unless ou are buying a basic car or something that it 4 years old, then it is tough to find what you want for under 35-40k. The reality is that basic cars have added tons of premium features to close the gap that used to exist with luxury. All the while, luxury manufacturers are making entry level cars to get access to youth with the hope that they stick for a lifetime as earnings rose.

Beard. I was wondering if you knew the body style changed for 2015. I just looked in our inventory, have 1 2014 Lariat with 18k miles and have 18 new 2014s left. Even have one 2014 Tundra left and 2015 tundra 1794 on used lot. I didnt realize how many are on the market

The price even went up between 13 and 14 so that the 14 to 15 increase wouldn't look as severe

Got the wife a new Sienna,

0% 48 months $928/month.

Though this is the last car we will buy for at least 7 years. Provided the Toyota doesn't die.

C300 isn't the entry level targeted at youth. The CLA 250 is. Audi has the A3, BMW has the 135i, etc.

C300 was much cheaper in 2014 than in 2015...complete redesign that makes the new C300 a "baby S class" [as many car reviwers call it] for 2015. S class is a 90-110k model.

Because 0% does not exist. Sure we can show it on paper all day long...but lets get real...are you truly paying no interest?

I am shocked by the size of some of these payments. $600/$700 payments for a car? Crazy man!



Why?

Say you put 6k down on a 60k vehicle. That's still 54k you have to pay off over 60 months or so.
