In random yet not random news. Looks like I can lease a brand new taco for $320 plus tax 0 down, in the spec that I want. I need to decide whether or not that’s the route I want to go. It would be an epic :aintcare: purchase at this point. Free maintenance, brand new vehicle, warranty.

Fking reopening can’t come fast enough :disgust: month 3 here now ...

Msrp in question is 37,7k, sale Price about 4K below that. I can also get free cash for 60 months. Hmm I am :notsure: I will own it that long ... considering my personal :plac: issues and that I just got a new to me car less than 1 year ago

Didn’t know. Zillspec and rental is like oil and water glad you got a good one
Car had never been off-road in an aggressive manner. No mud anywhere, no scrapes on the skid plates. Only one small nick on a wheel somewhere and it’s so minor I can’t even remember which wheel it’s on.

I was lured in by the strong trade value on the Wrongler and needed an out. Glad it’s been a good one.

If this move sounds like a not an easy pill to swallow financially and you feel like you may not use the purpose as much as you intent to in that vehicle, I wouldn't do it. Otherwise :doit: it's not like Taco's tank in depreciation anyway (atleast without Chinese virus) so you won't take as much :plac: profit when you do :plac: imo.

We talked about this... Hillside palace will cost me 20 tacos a month... so not like this will make or break anything.

Well, only the brain cells of the Urals can say whether $500 worth of enjoyment can be plumbed from this truck. What does your woman say?

Can't really go wrong at that price point. It is a way better vehicle than a comparably priced JK

If I wasn't on the 'rona lock down, I'd drive up and test drive it for you. It's only 35 minutes from me.

Nah I'm saying they should give me some cash on top... I hope I could get more than $11.8K for my car. :iono: it has 1/5 the mileage of that thing... not that that matters.

I think 12k “trade” is reasonable for them to get it and sel for 14-15. But I don’t see them doing cash on top... that puts your car at 15-16k, no way can they retail it for 20 when F30 are hitting 4 figures now retail, not trade
