Average New car loans are 5.7% currently and will be nearly 7% by end of the year. Also if you have even a few dings on your credit you'll be paying nearly 10%.
e92 was a flippin huge car with a v8 and was 3600lbs. I just dont know why bimmers are so heavy in general. You look at the 2 series and think it shouldn't be more than 3400lbs.
parking sensors are awesome where parallel parking is common. In the DC area, if you're going out for dinnner or a any event you'll most likely be parallel parking. So much easier to place your car, especially the Civic being sucha big car.
honestly unless you're clearing 200k, a 70k car is a bad decision. Not only are you have a grand car payment you have insurance and taxes on top of that. Fck that to just have a nice car to be stuck in traffic
Im not saying shortages are part of the problem but alot of this inventory issue has also been cheap easy money policy by the fed which has ended. Days of people buying 60k kia suvs with 600 credit scores are over.
Dealers make majority of their money by selling the loans to the banks. When defaults and interests are rising why do you think banks will take a chance approving 120% to some kid thats already underwater on their car?
they're probably piling the cars before they all get distributed together, most likely cars like this has a sale date embargo. Same thing happened with Elantra N, GTI and the Golf R.
I believe its on the dealer franchising that they are fair to each dealer. Obviously a bigger dealer will get more allocation but everyone should get least one car to start.
