Smurfed.

See what happens when these states legalize crack!

 

It's an MVA. Massively Villainous Assream.

 

Jeebus.....I never knew about this dealer practice, or about “upside down car loans” for that matter. Did some reading and was surprised by the stats: Apparently, over 33% of new cars sold in 2017 drove off the lot as ‘upside down loans’, immediately. Shit.....where did everyone’s brains go?

Owe more on a car than it’s worth? Not for me, but helps me understand how some people appear to afford such expensive stuff, while working as a sandwich artist.

 

At least in California the market value is retarded because Dumb Californians will pay it. I was looking at raptors before I bought my pro. Cheapeast I found was a 20k markup. Still well into 70k! A dealership in Hemet, CA had one listed on their website for 105k! It was insane. So I went the Tacoma pro route. I ALMOST paid a 3000 markup for the pro from one dealership, glad I didn’t and waited and found one for sticker. It’s a very nice, comfortable and capable midsize truck. But IMO, sticker price is the most it’s worth.

 

It's not "Real Money " that had to be "Earned with Real Work" that banks loan out to the masses.

Down through the centuries, under normal circumstances, it has always been observed that only a tiny percentage of depositors will claim their actual wealth at any one time. Thus the temptation is for bankers to “lend” more funds than they actually possess; they are “lending” what does not even exist. This is “fractional-reserve banking”

My local dealer is doing the same raping. Wouldn’t sell my brother a cement 4Runner pro at MSRP, at a minimum wanted +10k. Sold him a Calvary blue pro 4Runner at msrp though. Stupid.

 

I think in December the "market adjustment" should be -$5000, as in MINUS $5K. I just listened to an interesting "This American Life" episode where they spent a few days shadowing salesmen and managers at a Jeep/Ram/Dodge etc dealership on Long Island. Interesting stuff about unpublished factory-to-dealer incentives. The episode was called "129 Cars".

 

And the dealer as soon as Papa drove away...

 

Absolutely insane! By limiting product output Toyota sure helps out their dealerships.

 

To think most of these become driveway trophy wives that rarely get used by people who can barely/cannot-at-all afford them. Like my 40 yr old neighbor who lives with his mom.

Hope none of you are doing this

 

$700 for Graphics?!! Surely I must be reading that wrong.

 

Bro those are super custom, they add 50HP

$200 for a Toyota Emblem?

 

Yeah, but his mom’s hot.

 

Haha Smurftastic!

 

Yeah, but nh is full of people who work for a living so they can't get the extra cream on top.

 

Maybe next year's Pro will be that Barney the Dinosaur Purple with only $2500 mark ups.
