Am I crazy or is this the worst time ever to buy a vehicle?

I've put $12k into repairing/maintaining the X5 in 4 years, so I'm a little burnt on BMWs right now. It's really fun to drive, but it's been high maintenance for me. I'm sure a strung out Golf R will be much more reliable .

I can’t speak on reliability, but our Golf R is buckets of fun. I think we’re liking it even more then anticipated, this might also be since it’s a manual.

Mercedes axed all 2022 E63s and GT63s in the US. Not sure if Canada affected yet. People are fucking scrambling right now to find a car.

Put myself right in the middle of this silly situation. The coupe sold 2 weeks ago. Have an allocation for September build with a bunch of options restricted, supposed to be Oct delivery. It’s a race against the Trudeau tax now.

Fucking Trudeau tax, my truck got hit with hail right before I was going to list to get into a 7 seater SUV. It’s currently at the shop being repaired, and will continue the search.

I didn't know those came manual too, I thought they were just DSG!

Is the Trudeau tax even going through? I decided to order another car that won’t be delivered until March/April.

Depends whether or not you think the conservatives are going to win the fall election

Win the election? It's not looking very good for CP as they will likely still be the opposition party but with less seats.

A Liberal federal government propped up by the NDP is incredibly sad times.

Gonna be a Liberal majority with the NDP as the official opposition, you fucking watch.

If we are going to burn it down, let's make the biggest fire ever.

I’m totally prepared for that possibility. I may have to get serious about transferring to our Pittsburgh business unit as a Liberal majority and NDP opposition will be a crushing blow to this province.

[ExtraSlow]

the BEST fire.

Shit just got real. Mercedes axes almost all cars with the 4L v8 in US.

Won’t be surprised if Canada is next. They started with the e63s, Canada confirmed all cancelled, so expecting all cars aside from S, SL, and AMG GT with the v8 gone.

Came here to post this. What are current 63 owners going to do when their warranties run out this year? Hang on to the cars, reducing supply in the used market, or maybe pull a benyl and go EV?

People are buying 2021 e63s for 30k over msrp right now. They don’t even care if the colors or options match even though they’re bitching about the insane dealer color and interior choices. It’s insanity.

The non AMG folks are hooped too. Cars are losing the 12” widescreen, so they’re retrofitted with European base analog gauges that weren’t even made available here for the E. They’re losing the LTE module so cars don’t even have navigation. Have to sign a waiver to say they’re ok with it for a year before retrofitting. They lost keyless go so you have to plug in a key to drive lol.

Somehow, coupes and cabs haven’t been affected. Yet. So my build is still ok. Honestly I’m expecting the hammer to fall on me and lose my allocation.

[you&me]

It seems like some knew this was coming, as prices on G63s and GLS Maybachs jumped over the last week... Surely just the tip of the iceberg.

[Darkane]

This is bad bad bad.

Everyone’s gotta follow suit, no?

Time to snap up some Mustang GTs..
