Lets talk about new vehicles

[danstraylee]

And to Walterjay, I'm willing to bet that a lot of us have overpaid on a vehicle. As long as she is happy with the vehicle that's what counts. good news is the Toyotas are and excellent vehicle that hold their resale well.

Back in fall 2004 I made the overpay dufus move of my life. I was racing in the desert District 37 series. KTM just came out with a new 2005 model 300 EXC with the upgraded frame. I purchased it in the beginning of racing season. It was the only one here locally. I paid more than $1,000.00 over list.

It was the first and last KTM I purchased. Great lightweight race bike (for technical terrain) but a huge money pit.

Annnnnddddd now back to our regularly scheduled programming.

I can’t afford the high dollar Mitsubishi rides @Zee09 buys, but we did buy a 23 Edge to replace the wrecked one. . Need to update my Sig.

Not many Mitsubishi dealers in the metro and the closest one is unfortunately sleazy beyond belief. You know the kind that specializes in preying on people who really have no business buying a new car. Extortion of the ignorant and unqualified, disgusting.

Just between us I only paid $3200 more than your Edge...of course not mentioning your price..

We have scumbag dealers like that here too. One won't even list the prices anywhere on the website just payments and months

My dealership is the gold standard...

I have a short list of dealers that I will consider when shopping; I’ve purchased a vehicle from all of them and been treated well. Life is too short to put up with being jacked around by knuckleheads.

This young lady did a great video on the Outlander LE... short and sweet without the overload.... $10 to $12k under a CRV without the Honda dealership drama...
They tuned up that 3rd row seat to...
Super easy to deal with too.

Color trim inward from those headlights. Then the fake chrome. Ooof. BUT I know - just me.

It IS a nice vehicle, don't get me wrong.

It's a Faux, Faux world.

Unlike most here I don't think about the front end as my Sport was the same and it all blends in and causes me not a moment of thought or regret... the deal I got and the way it drives thrills me and the 1.5T has been the shocker... expecting agricultural and it's among the best out there... CVT ? I continually forget it is one....

I mean even Honda has a nice 1.5T/CVT feel. It's a good combo, make it a hybrid correctly and again it's an even MORE AWESOME combination.

With a not so hot track record and no dual injection and Honda- blink info nontainment..

Honda 2L hybrid is the only way to go if you buy Hondas

Our 2017 1.5T CR-V is excellent really with singular huge caveat. Fuel in Oil. 35-39MPG, smooth and ultra reliable and it has 150K miles of driving the snot out of it. I just wish I could do annual oil changes like the Tacoma.

Sure it can... plus the Turbo was Mitsubishi...seen YT Accords with over 800k miles with the original Turbo...
Let's not forget the superior Mitsu warranty
