Lets talk about new vehicles

[The Critic]

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

This is why you buy an extended warranty - it's a losing battle with the newer stuff.

I discovered last night, entirely by dumb luck, that there is such a thing as a Mustang with red leather interior!

After two years of lusting for an Alfa Romeo that definitely hits my button.

Hey, didn't OP say "No Fords" in the very first post of this thread, over 2 years ago?

Mods, you need to ban this guy for violating this thread with Ford pics.

It’s not a Ford, it’s a Mustang.

Besides OP can’t remember what he had for lunch.

It’s not a Ford, it’s a Mustang.

So, you're telling us that you bought an electric SUV?

Sorry, don't blame me, blame Ford.

I like it!

Seriously I don't think it says "Ford" anywhere on the car. Not that I can remember anyway.

This popped up locally. I like it, wife HATES the green. Not sure how I'd feel about it either down the road. I do believe a sporty car should be in an actual color. This one has a much better price tag on it, but may be on the side of too few options. Hard to find the middle ground.

Only in one spot. Should have the Ford logo on the top edge of the windshield above the mirror. Easier to see from the inside looking out.

Green is definately unique ... probably looks good in the sun with the metallic. The Mustangs look good in silver, really shows the body lines.

I purchased new a month ago and looking at all the tech on the loaded model, I bought extended bumper to bumper 100K warranty. Pretty sure it will pay for itself especially with inflation. Shop rates keep driving up.

I know what I must do....
My next purchase....

Just looking at that makes me a-feared for your life! Don’t do it!
