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

[BavarianBeast]

That’s insane! I know a guy who just picked up a used 1LT convertible for $125k. Pretty sure that’s like $40k over MSRP? People are crazy right now haha.

[killramos]

Apparently that corvette is quite the talk of the town down in Houston.

Dealer got quite the pp slap from GM over it.

Dealerships are assholes and people are dumb.

[max_boost]

But but but capitalism!

[SKR]

In the event that the customer does not take delivery, this fee will be utilized for the fucking what? This car is in such high demand we're asking $90,000 over MSRP, but also it's so hard to sell it's going to cost us $6000 to sell it to another person that's on the waiting list that we definitely have.

I'd rather pay $100k dealer markup on a new z06 than $100k dealer markup on a Nissan Z that has a yellow shifter, seats and calipers, lol

Lol I saw this and hoped nobody else did.

Fuking Dealerships. LOL

The moment the buyer drives off the lot he loses $100k. Even if you look past the fact that the car has been widely panned as a disappointment, once enough of them are made, used values will plummet.

There’s apparently a lot more in common with these prospective buyers and Ridgeline owners then I ever would have guessed…. Mullet, check, white sun glasses, check, New Balance, check.



But out of the 4 options, Z, Corvette, 911 or Ridgeline, which is the most “builder grade” option?

[killramos]

Builder grade? Like who of those is most like a sleezy home builder?

I dunno. Ask yourself who is most likely to push and nickle and and dime buyers for silly cosmetic upgrades?

I wonder how much a yellow stitched front door would cost…

[BavarianBeast]

$9000 for seats and another $1200 for the headrest lambo shield.

Worth it.

How much to remove the Italian flag stitching?

[Shlade]

I want to have enough money some day that I can go and 3m a large portion of my new car without worrying about it.


Kind of like spending $10,200 on fancier seats on my Lambo

Pfffft Junk! Nobody cares unless it’s a Ridgeline, a true drivers car.. Step it up!

[BavarianBeast]

Hahah. To be honest, mclaren seems to be one of the worst in terms of gouging for options. Though I’ve never tried to build a Ferrari before.

I think Mclaren and Ferrari are about the same - hilariously overpriced external plastic....err...carbon fibre, that just makes the car look less classy anyway.
