Hell, even at my age, I'm still tempted by cars. I'd love to have my Mini-Cooper back again. Or my Austin Healey / Triumph / 190 SL. Sadly, here, common sense takes precedence.

Exactly. They advertise $112K including ARF but with COE, the cost is closer to $200K, including EV rebates. Pretty ridiculous.sundaymorningstaple wrote: ↑Fri, 30 Apr 2021 3:53 pmHell, even at my age, I'm still tempted by cars. I'd love to have my Mini-Cooper back again.

Everyone wants my old turbo Subaru Forester. One of the last SG6 bodies in turbo left on the road here. I get people asking regularly if I'm selling it.midlet2013 wrote: ↑Fri, 30 Apr 2021 3:04 amPNGMK , u r too old to be tempted by cars . Tesla is for Midgets. U shd stick to Toyota .

Oh Subaru looks too big for me. When I was buying I felt I can’t handle big cars. But my fav is Audi . I hope someday I can throw 2-3 hundred without worrying. Their sports models r so expensive tho.

No A1 is stupid. I like A4/5 and Etron. Also the RS and TT series. I know I can prob but someday but my brain tells me it’s stupid to buy. But I will rent some of these cars on vacation n experience.
I don’t like these entry level models on luxury Brand’s. Much better to get Honda or Toyota.
Ritenow I have a Honda and honestly can’t complain. Makes my life easy.

I’m planning to get an Acura ILX for myself and a Toyota Highlander for the wife when we return to the US while the kids are in college, should be roughly $60k for both.

Re: Anyone else thinking of ordering a Tesla online here? Cheaper than a Camry!
Good luck with that. I've got a Highlander and it is the best vehicle I have ever owned. For the 2020 model, the base price USD 35,000. That's for the low end "L" model (they are L, LE, XLE, Limited, and Limited Platinum plus optional AWD on the XLE on up). The top of the line Limited Platinum edition sells for about USD 48,000. There's not a lot of discounting because of the demand for the vehicle.malcontent wrote: ↑Sat, 01 May 2021 10:59 pmI’m planning to get an Acura ILX for myself and a Toyota Highlander for the wife when we return to the US while the kids are in college, should be roughly $60k for both.
The Acura starts at about USD 26,000 up to about USD 32,000. There is probably more negotiating room with this model.

Yep, I know prices have gone up, we can always look at used vehicles, there is usually no good reason to bear steepest brunt of depreciation.
My brother bought a 5 year old Honda Accord for $9,200 while we were in the US back in June 2019. Great vehicle for the price.

Re: Anyone else thinking of ordering a Tesla online here? Cheaper than a Camry!
We are in agreement there. We bought an absolutely pristine 2015 Highlander Limited Platinum, very low mileage through Toyota's certified used car program. Cost $30K two years ago. Added a $1700, 12 year, 100,000 mile warranty that covers everything, except for glass. With nav units, power everything, and more gizmos and attachments than you can name (the owner manual is 756 pages, the nav/entertainment unit another 300+ pages), one failure will about cover the cost of the warranty.malcontent wrote: ↑Sun, 02 May 2021 2:00 pmYep, I know prices have gone up, we can always look at used vehicles, there is usually no good reason to bear steepest brunt of depreciation.

Re: Anyone else thinking of ordering a Tesla online here? Cheaper than a Camry!
personally I am not a fan of tesla. I think the quality is kinda low. If you can afford it then go with the new mercedes EQS. Here is a review https://wegoelectric.net/jay-leno-testi ... -benz-eqs/
In my view its 10x better than any Tesla out there but thats just my opinion

Great price. A friend got the Honda HRV a while back, hasn’t stopped raving about it.malcontent wrote: ↑Sun, 02 May 2021 2:00 pmYep, I know prices have gone up, we can always look at used vehicles, there is usually no good reason to bear steepest brunt of depreciation.
