Yes they will. But depends on production numbers too. If they make 500 of em, They will find suckers. 5k + doubt it.

The new Tacoma that just launched is already 3k off at many dealers.
Four cylinder hybrid truck for $65K. What a time to be alive.

:plac: finds v2.0: Moar gold on the crangslist

If in 2014 (enter year) I purchased an item for $ 30,000.00 then in 2024 (enter year) that same item would cost: $39,579.79 Cumulative rate of inflation: 31.9% Ready to end the fed yet? Cars generally don’t appreciate regardless of inflation. Especially mass produced VWs but the money is de-valueing.

One prioritizes things that are important to oneself. Its been at least 6 months since I've hand washed the car. It has made a trip or two through the scratch-o-matic in that time. :aintcare: but I care too much to take it through the scratch tube/auto wash, so one wash every 1-2 months is it. ah, ...

I don’t trust the gov with a single dollar. They have shown us over and over again they are inferior to private enterprise. So clearly public transit is a direct result of that. It will never change.

And ive driven them, and yes the chassis is stiff, and great and objectively better, and the shifter is what god had in mind for manual transmissions, etc etc. But, money ex...
