Shit, there's only 49 users here, I doubt we'll even break 100
still an absolutely ridiculars tax.
Can't wait till a honda civic costs $100k and gets hit with this tax. Nothing like limiting your serfs mobility by not allowing them to have vehicles.
Tap, Rack, BANG!
This tax is a drop in the bucket compared to hies much the government takes from hnw people.

I started email discussions with a dealership out of town on the purchase of a new vehicle for my wife.
Three times I have asked for the purchase cost of the vehicle, breakdown, fees etc...
All I get back is questions about financing and if I have a trade...
Sigh...

I ran into this, reply with a very simple, yet slightly passive aggressive question asking the same thing but breaking it down in toddler terms.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
If they are serious about selling a vehicle they'll reply.
“I buy vehicles for cash”
Tends to eliminate this problem

Unless you know someone that’s probably gonna be the reply or they will ask you to come down to the dealership.
Dealers make money on financing so ofc they want you to go that way.

You could always buy a used rental car. Cuz that's a great idea.
So my wife's SUV is on it's way out (CVT Transmission issues) so she decided it's time for a new one. We looked at a Toyota Corolla Cross and were told that it's a 10 month wait. That's out then. Did some more shopping over the weekend, but couldn't find anything she liked. She went out Tuesday with my son to look at a few different ones. Liked the Kona, hated the Seltos, skipped BMW and Mercedes. She happened to see a Chevy Trax and liked the looks of it. Went to a dealer to drive one, but didn't like it. The salesman showed her a Buick Encore GX and she loved it. Only problem was it was used. Asked of there were any new ones. They looked and saw that one had just come in. Go look at it and it's the color she wants and all the options as well. Put a deal together Tuesday evening and she picks it up on Saturday.
Nice, glad you guys found something she liked. I'm a big supporter of happy wife = happy life.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Price breakdown if you don't mind me asking? I'm wondering about how much dealer markup and their misc fees.
If its the CVT in the 09 Murano, I'm suprised it lasted this long.
back in the "before times" a huge percentage of Certified Pre-owned cars at dealerships were from rental fleets. Not just domestics either, cars like BMW 3 and 5 series, and X5 were very popular at Avis and Budget, and they all ended up back at the dealership.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

Yeah, we got 260k out of it, so that's not bad from what I have heard about them.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
And AMEN to Happy wife=Happy Life!!
Congrats, it's nice to hear about deals working out. The Encore is a decent little ride too, 9 speed instead of a CVT is a win right there too. It's incredible how small the motors are getting too, 1.3L with that power/trq is amazing compared to just 5 or 10 years ago.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Similar situation here. We didn't go with Buick, but picking up a new SUV in a couple hours after doing all the work over the weekend. Three separate RAV4s that we made appointments to test drive were gone before we even got there (spoiler: we didn't buy a RAV4). It was a shitshow doing the shopping and figuring out the best prices but she found something she liked the way she likes it and you guys know the saying. Just glad it's done.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

I was actually quite surprised by the power. It's not amazing by any stretch, but way better than I thought it would be. And yes, hers has the 9 speed, not the CVT. I don't think I could do another CVT.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
My wife spent from Friday morning until Tuesday looking online, watching YouTube reviews, driving around to actually see them in person. It was starting to get exhausting. Glad it's done, and fingers crossed, it's a good little car for her.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

They really are. And I'm always going to miss the ability to pile up 4x8 sheets in the back. That Grand Caravan was a trooper for a decade.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Interesting. We're doing our first CVT. I'm not big on them but I think it'll be good for her. Fingers crossed.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
