Saw a Buick Envista this morning at the dealer in pearl white. Very sharp looking and a step up from the Trax. Had leatherette seats, nice wheels, msrp was 28k. No sticker shock for once especially after looking at Ford truck prices recently.
Lets talk about new vehicles

You can get a Trax in a LT for $25k and it is loaded and has the 11" screen. Plus other trim levels higher...I don't see the Buick as a step up, just another flavor
I had the 1.4T in my Cruze and it was 'adequate'....the MPG's dropped considerably when it went into 'boost'. Why would GM downsize to a 1.2T in a (presumably) heavier vehicle? How much more would it cost them to put a 1.4T or even a 1.6T into it?Not so sure about passing broYou may not be able too...
It is perfectly adequate for me.

My nephew just bought a Chevy Trail Boss that is a 2022 and I could not believe it had 15k miles on it. Spotless inside and out. It didn't even have any dust whatsoever under the hood.
Deals can be had it seems.
He said he got it $20k less than a new 2023. Amazing.

Days of old - our local Ford is covered with F150’s … That’s not actually normal bcs prior to the shut downs they stocked mostly Super Duty and very few 150’s …
I have owned several F150's and haven't had any problems with any of them. They seem to last forever. Currently at 73,000 miles on my 2014 F-150. They have about $10,000 off where I live and rows of them for sale now. The problem is the most inexpensive one is about $45,000 after discounts.

Yup
Ford is crazy expensive.
I saw a video yesterday of a guy boasting how cheap the base XL 250 with a few options is only $60k...
I wonder if next year brings better pricing? I suspect so.
Here is a sweet buy for someone who wants to wait for cheaper prices. I agree probably Jan 1st there will be some good deals as well as next year. Crazy high prices will not be here to stay with the economy, high cost of housing, and high interest rates. I would buy this just because it's a sweet deal. $33,942 for a brand new black 4x4 Ford truck. Drive as is or put a new hood and mirror on it due to hail damage.

Sadly a lot of truth there.
I drove past a truck hauling Mustang E’s the other morning. There’s actually two I see consistently plugged in at work. But they are mostly not selling dealerships had a bunch just sitting there when I bought my real Mustang.
Dealers are a big part of the problem regarding Mavericks unfortunately.

The amount people are willing to pay for freakin’ Fords is bonkers to me. Why anyone would choose to pay more for a Ford than a Toyota, Mazda, or Honda (in that order) is beyond me.

We have members here that laugh when others buy vehicles other than Ford.
Ford is way overpriced as far as trucks and SUVs.
And those that laugh forget that quality isn't always job one at Ford. I dumped my new F250 with 5k miles on it because of troubles Ford had no care or fix for.

VW is having the same issues with their EV. I do like the bus though... The ID.4 lease looks like a good option if you have to have an EV.
