Where does the buck stop?

Like i said before its a political statement. Kinda like the guys that buy prius cars. Sure in the end they save no money and have a much larger carbon footprint. But its about the statement. That statement I will not post here however.

I could not agree more

I've sold one FF to get her the house of her dreams. I've been paying for weddings....kids cars etc for the last 8 years. Believe me, I've grown tired of the me being in team being......well.....me "L" But, with that said, I wouldn't trade my life with anyone. I'm spending some "me" time starting tomorrow and heading out west on the Road Glide. Buddy owns a house over in Sturgis to use as a home base. I'm reaching out to St Cloud Kia right now to close the deal. I'll let everyone know how this ends up.

Chevy Silverado
GMC Sierra
Dodge Ram
Ford F-150
Toyota Tundra

Only one is made in America with enough North American content to be called a Domestic pick-up. Hint: It's not from Detroit.

Deal is done

The internet thing worked great.

The results

Wife's deal

$26.789 @ 5.88% financing. This included a trade in of my 4Runner

Deal last night

$23,780 @ 3.49% financing. This out the door price did not include my 4Runner in the deal.

I am pretty happy with the outcome. The sousal unit gets a well deserved car and I have made it very clear I'm next. I'm thinking around this coming May I will have a Cobra in the garage. This time I'll buy one complete and add my touch to the car

Savings of $5k over a 60 month loan. Nice work.

You can get a RAV4 with a strong V6, that tows 3500lbs for 0% right now and all year long.

You can get a Subaru Forester for the same price at 0.9% I got the Imprezza for 1.5%.

Unhappy

Kobrak,
Good on you. And enjoy the putt to Sturgis. I see a Cobra in your future.


And for the others, there are more Honda's and Toyota's made in the USA than there are Fords and Chevys. I beleive the Toyota Camary is the #1 USA made car. The Corvette is like #4. The new camaro is built down under.

And also another 6-8 thousand in savings in the price difference after he sells the 4-runner. Rather than $26,789 you should end up being in the KIA for about $20K after you sell the Toyota! Nice job!
