What do you drive???

[hoppyjr]

Starting to negotiate with car dealers after researching trucks for the last few months. Looking at getting a newer F150 and leaning towards the 3.5L V6 or 3.5L V6 hybrid. I hate the car buying process.

Tons of truck inventory that’s been sitting for several months and many Ford dealerships. If you haven’t yet, I suggest doing some YouTube research.

Negotiate hard. The days of Covid prices are over.

My brother in law is in the car loan business and is running VINs to get me the dealer price tables.

Also would be work doing a nationwide search on AutoTrader.com to see what you find around the country. From what I’ve heard some dealers have 8-14 month inventory sitting on the lot, so it might worth finding those dealers and flying in to pick up and drive home. Could be huge savings.

Those are really nice beast mode
Congrats

Thanks Brice, it is a beast for sure.

Nice one Ben. That will haul the kids around.

Did you get rid of the Lexus already? Or did the 4unner trade in?

No sir, this Sequoia replaces the minivan.

The RX replaces my old 4Runner and sonata.

A solid stable. Minivans are the devils transport

Yep. Been doing that for a few weeks now. Savings listings, watching pricing, and getting a feel for how quickly they are selling after hitting Autotrader.

Gosh I hope so. Was looking at used VW GTI prices yesterday and they still seem high. Not buying...just looking...but still discouraging.

VW’s, and specifically GTI’s really hold their value. I drove my last GTI for two years and I got back everything I paid for it new -$500. I traded in a Golf TDI on the GTI and got everything back I paid for that two years prior also. Even our recent Tiguan got us an impressive sell-off to Carvana.

I traded my GTI for my Tesla in November. GTI prices are nuts. It's crazy how they hold value.

Just got home with our new truck. It’s a 2022 F150 Lariat. Didn’t come with a paper users manual but there’s an electronic one you can access from the main screen in the truck. I need to figure out where the jack and spare are, how to adjust the adaptive cruise control, and adjust what data is shown on the screens. It drove really nice on the 3 1/2 hr drive home. We went with the 3.5L twin turbo engine and it got 22.5 mpg on the interstate but that included going over twp big mountain passes.

Lots to like in the F150. I seriously considered the same configuration as you got, and that 3.5 was pretty snappy.

Spare should be under bed. Jack likely under rear seat or side compartment.

Congrats.

Nice. Gonna have to pick your brain on your research. I’d love to buy a used F150 for my next car.

Happy to assist. DM me and we can coordinate a time for a call to discuss it.

Yeah, the accelerator is quick to respond, unlike my old 2005 F150. Glad I didn’t put my foot into it leaving the dealership. That twin turbo is quick.

3.5 hours. Did you fly in or drive? I remember when we bought the VW newbeetle in 2000 we got the green color for zero markup by driving to the small town dealer. I think it saved us $2000.

No. We drove over this morning, signed everything and drove home. My wife hit some stores in Denver that we don’t have in western Colorado and picked up some things we needed, while I signed paperwork.

Congrats. My son has the same engine in his. Very nice ride.

Cant wait to put some miles on with the top down. Finally above 60. Supposed to have mid 70’s the weekend. I had the dealer take a peak at it then got the windows retinted with ceramic. Huge difference. New wheels next week. It’ll be a sweet change. I love this thing.

[djh1201]

Nice! I've been wanting to try one of the newer Verts, although I think it would be hard for me to give up my E46. Time to do some mods!

A few photos of my latest M3

That's badd ass! Love the hardtop convertibles. That'll be a blast to drive on the nice summer days.

I had the summer shoes put back on the X5. Totally changes the look and sharpens the handling too.
