Not entirely. The smarter play is to buy an W212 with 30-40K on it in my neighborhood............like the one pre-Covid that was in San Diego County for 17K dollhairs. now I'm paying COVID prices for an older gen.....even though I think it is better looking.

I don't have a membershit there, but worth remembering. We got WallyWorld for $1.95/bag or something like that, Lowes/Home Depot is like $3.50... when you buy a whole season's worth, that difference adds up.

I'd probably pull the trigger on this if I needed a 2nd vehicle. Strong resale so I could off it on a moments notice if I wanted something else without losing my ass, will off-road/camp and tow the boat.

Yea, housing has stopped here hard. Tons of stuff for sale, a lot been on the market for a while, I think the correction is starting. Same with vehicles, I'm starting to see things in FBM that I consider to be fair priced for the first time in a while. This Tacoma for example, I think it's a pretty fair deal for the combo, year, miles, and the spotless Carfox.
