I can just imagine what the 2 year old fuel in the tank and lines is like. The condensation and rust in the diffs and trans and oil pan. The weak battery. Etc. Sitting for years is very bad for a vehicle. It would take a very big discount for me to buy a vehicle that sat on a lot for 2 or more years.
brake rotors are rusted over and pitted. batteries are long depleted and out of factory warranty. theres rot, and even tires have DOT serial codes that expire after a number of months making them illegal to sell as new. a car that is a yr or more old on the lot is a basket case of issues for a new buyer.. as a ex dealer tech of 22 yrs... trust me.. do not buy a lot lizard that has been aged like a slab of beef.. its not a better deal. in any way.
$3500 for wheel locks, window tint, door handle guards (whatever tf that is) is crazy, then they slap on another $1700 for rubber floor mats and illuminated door sill moldings (whatever tf that is.) that's a bad look for acura.
I have bought and sold five Lexus vehicles over the past few years. A 2001, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2010. Before you ask, why did you buy so many cars? I got bored and I wanted to try something “ new”. I have never had an issue with these cars outside of an alternator and a couple suspension components on my RX 350 which has 200,000 miles. The newest vehicle I will buy is probably a 2022 or whatever the last year Toyota made a naturally aspirated V6. Will buy this 2022 in 2035 . My opinion, stick with Toyota or Honda. Buy from a private seller with records even if you had to put a few bucks into it for some suspension components or whatever… You are way better off than dropping seven or $800 a month on a complete POS.
I'd cut that list to toyota.. honda/acura have become largely garbage as well with all the cheap materials and CVT transmission that fail consistently. cheap to make. dont last at all and are 10k to replace making a 10 yr old honda a total loss financially. they do it to make you buy new.. soo dont buy honda at all. my mom and my ex wife have accords. 2012 and 2015. and my mom will get a lexus or a nicer toyota when this one finally dies. screw the ex.
its a nature vs nurture dilemma. the consumer is complicit because being cohesive with their peers concerns them more than a stable and rational economy
What do you do? Do what I've been doing and works for me. I own a Ford 2001 E-150 Conversion van with 198,000 miles without leaks of fluid (oil/trans) onto my driveway. I swear the power train must have been built on a Monday. Also, a year later I purchased a 2002 Daewoo sedan until 2020 I traded it in for a 2020 Outback. The main reason for this purchase is I couldn't source replacement parts for the vehicle. I grew up in a family environment of the 1960s-1970s you drove the damn vehicle until the wheels fell off.
Think you ment you vans power train was built on a wensday…built on a Monday, people are in a bad mood cause it’s the first day back to work…built on Friday means it’s crap also cause it’s the last day of work and no one gives a shit , they just wanna get out of there.
Arkansas Police could use more "bumper cars"! 0:51 I watched a car show from the UK, called Fifth Gear. One of the hosts is a professional race car driver, named Jason Plato. He drove a Ferrari 296 GTB (Hybrid). The price was 359,227 Pounds ($451,617). What got me was that it had a Blue Racing Stripe added by Ferrari, that cost 14,000 Pounds ($17,599). Stellantis should work at Ferrari!
If anyone out there has a free minute, go to your local dealership and look around. Tell the salesman you’re there to buy. Then look at the sticker and tell them they’re charging too much and leave. They’ll report it to their manager and eventually get the hint.
they get whole sale auctioned for a mega loss because the dealerships would rather loss tens of thousands of dollars at an auction than loss money selling to a private buyer, regular customer.
Automobiles need to be regularly used and no not just turning the engine over and running it in the parking lot every couple of weeks, nor a test drive occasionally. These vehicles are suffering major lot rot and will likely give the inevitable buyer major troubles.
I’ll play Capt.Obvious for a moment. It truly depends on the market you live in as to whether or not you can find good “deals.” I live in NYC where public transportation is King and having a vehicle is more a luxury. I’m currently in the market for an E-vehicle I can tell you we have deals abundant! Some dealers here have crazy markups and I can’t tell you how quick they are to drop them just to get cars moving as well as cut prices. Simply put, it’s much easier to find deals here where there are already an abundance of transportation alternatives. In other more suburban/rural locations where cars become more of a necessity, greedy dealers often are king. Still a buyers market if you ask me but definitely requires more patience and price negotiation. I truly think ultimately though, the buyer has the upper hand, the buyer simply can’t cave in though. Don’t be afraid to walk away…guaranteed, the dealer will be calling you within a few mins to workout a deal.
The dealer doesn't own the cars and truck on their lot. There is a limit to how much they can discount. Dealers are sitting on cars that aren't worth what they owe on them. Maybe? Who can give us inside information? I'm just speculating here. Banks are letting repos set on the auction lot because they won't or can't let them go for what the market will pay. Dealers fail, then manufacturers fail, and the banks fail. Everybody should go out and buy a new luxury truck. Its the patriotic thing to do. I know no vehicle I own is for sale.
Manufacturers and dealers are reaping what they've sown. They've priced themselves out of the market. Consumers aren't paying these crazy @ss prices for a vehicle. The entire market needs a "reset." Otherwise, these companies will eventually go bankrupt.
Dont they end up somewhere on google earth ! Millions of vehicles left to pasture because maufactures would rather do this than busting for deeper discounts !
Stelantis - some European conglomerate that came into business in 2021 whose business model is fleecing the US car market. They were formed in 2 - 0 - 2 - 1!!! Not 1921, not 1943, but 2021!

What blows my mind is how long automotive dealers can seem to last without layoffs when there's zero sales.
Their service department keeps them in business.

Why are used cars and trucks so ridiculously expensive?
it started because americans didnt owe enough debt to banks basicly , and goverment hates that
there has to be plenty of debt and money moving from hand to hand for society to work
not saying i like that plan but goverment loves it

they will destroy them and try to pass the cost on to the consumer.
If I pay 535,000 for some cars it better be a lot full of cars
If they sell one thirty percent at that price they can scrap the rest of them and still make a profit.
I wish Toyota had this issue. Toyota dealerships near me are nearly sold out on all cars and you have to wait to see what comes in.
