Lets talk about new vehicles

I thought of that, usually a good option. With a Mustang I’d be concerned even a low mileage one had been beat on like a rented mule or modded.
This dealership had the one EcoBoost, one of two in the whole metro, but 6 GTs. Maybe the GTs will be a deal with the new one coming?
Great suggestion, I’m not a hot hatch fan but if I drove one I’d probably flip.
People need to hear that for sure. In my case I have played the long game for decades and am now being blessed with the rewards of doing so.
Guys were getting great deals a couple years ago, now not so much and it’s hard to find a car.
Arteon has been sitting at or near the top of my list for years.
I didn’t see it but my oldest son went with me and he said there was a Shelby or something on the showroom floor for 80k.
New cars especially their reliability, this guy offers a good perspective what to expect about newer/ new cars
My Accord is still in sort of limping mode due to CVT problem, and this video showes how expensive it can be hold on to newer cars beyond the warranty period

Well I don't feel bad.
Decades ago I started the dump before the warranty and many frowned upon it but I had little or no maintenance and I weighed the cost and keeping a modern car much after the warranty wasn't cost effective for me and I used the 179 tax code on my trucks..
Plus cars are my only vice...
Now I am cutting back and the less the better... insurance now stinks...going higher and higher..
The thing is we have heard it on here dozens of times and it's getting tiresome.
That's a Mach 1. The Bullitt versions are higher MSRP too than a normal GT. Still half price of that Bronco for $120K, lol.

Remember if you don't change your own oil it's just as easy to change the car...

Me either...scam...
I sold my '18 Mustang GT Premium 10 speed auto and bought a new Cadillac XT4 with AWD. The MSRP was $40,400 USD and so far I really like it. Motor has decent power, gets 30 mpg on a trip and about 26 just driving around. I never even thought of Caddy before recently but I was looking for a CUV and I wanted one made in the USA with union labor.
it really is about to get out of hand from now on; first they jack up the prices, second they loaded new cars with technology, third no independent shops to work on cars due to computerization and complexity, mainly hybrids, plug in hybrids or EVs; in this situation, dealers will encourage you to replace whole part instead of using the process of elimination; mayority of original owners will hold the cars until the warranty expires then will unload them. At the same time, that 1-3-5 years are the steepest loss of equity in a car, yet someone else will be holding of a bag of major expenses and insurance premiums only can go higher from here
in the end, there is no winner at the consumer side, whether they bought it a new or used vehicle
