Makes me wonder what the current 'vana offer on the Beep Beep would be, pretty sure it is still "appreciating" :lolol:

$39.9K OTD in May 2020.
Takes 1 min to find out. My mini offer is an abysmal 18k
My $34k CRV is worth $24k according to the ‘vana.

Just punched in @ $28,172 for the Bimmer
$29,533 on Vroom
Most it’ll ever be worth.

Fair point but a lot of that price Delta is 20K miles vs. 106K.

Interesting ride . I’m ok with these and they tend to have geriatric first owners that only service at dealers

Very true. Yeah definitely get a JRG/beige one just to keep around. And that price you can't afford NOT to.

Oh hell yeah brother. These engines and trans were also super stout. The color combo on this is fantastic too.

:iono: same amount as you’d get for the Bimmer but 13 years older… BMW will be more reliable, efficient, I think faster? Merc definitely wins style and cool factor points though.

I mean it has a warranty :iono:

Even a 16 year old Toyota will need stuff often.

Those had like 470-500hp, and I'd be willing to bet just as reliable as his BMW, but having that supercharged V8 noise.

Well, I've decided to hold off on selling the GTI for now. What precipitated the whole :plac: move was my wife returning to the office more or less full time starting Sep 1, but with the delta variant and all of the case numbers heading entirely the wrong direction, her and my return-to-work plans are now put on hold indefinitely. If neither one of us is going to the office, there's zero reason to have a second car for kid-ferrying duties. Thanks covid?

We'll see how long I can hold off. But I think even when I do :plac: at some point, a 3-row would be a better option in terms of longevity. A 2019-2020 MDX A-Spec has moved quickly to the top of the list. It won't fit in the garage, but that just leaves a spot open for the weekend car at some point, and it would be way better to drive than either the 4R or the Outback.

I think an Outback would be terrible. We spend 100% of our time driving INSIDE the car and interacting with the the car from that standpoint. Shit that keeps an eye on my eye, overly protective nannies and then sub menus and minimal physical buttons makes me want to run into traffic just at the thought of it.
