Is that your car? Did you try looking for Ferrari wheels? How much were they, may I ask?

Or are you just an expert at internet search image? :lol

Here's one with 348 wheels :sweetjesus: ... have your barf bag nearby!

Polestar engineering is done, 80% will be cut by year-end and Geely practically taking over

https://www.reddit.com/r/PSNY_Polest...o_shutdown_rd/
https://swedenherald.com/article/pol...-rd-department

which is insane because several days ago their marketing material was leaning quite heavily on their UK motorsports expertise for the new PS5

JDMDreams 10-20-2025 05:46 PM

Yes at the end of the day how many people buy lolvos let alone polestar, I sat in one at the auto show when the cyber truck came out and I'm like wtf is this shit, can't even compete with model 3

I just saw an add from VW Richmond saying id buzz is $99 a week lease? HOBZ TIME TO REPLACE GTI. but then $99 a week is tempting not sure what the fine print is doe.

Badhobz 10-24-2025 06:49 PM

It’s not. Just build one online it’s still roughly 1k a month if you go zero down.

It's advertised as a banner on their site, but I couldn't find the fine print. Going to guess it requires a sizable cash down payment.

They advertise:

but also

@Hobz - have you transferred your GTI lease yet?

Badhobz 10-24-2025 06:55 PM

Should be next week. He applied for credit already so it’s soon. I’m certain he’ll pass credit cuz he’s an ah bak

yray 10-24-2025 07:43 PM

why are u getting rid of the gti?

Badhobz 10-24-2025 08:09 PM

Bored of it. I don’t drive it very much, kinda just collecting dust. Plus thanks to DJstylez for making me hate my mk8 (mk7/7.5 sooooo much better for build quality). Initially I was going to replace it with the sienna but now the sienna sucks so much dick I’m just gonna drive the Camry till she blows up. All new cars are pretty lame, nothing interest me right now.

If you're bored one day, test drive the facelift model Y and give us a review lol.

Badhobz 10-25-2025 10:49 AM

no... i rather not.

mikemhg 10-25-2025 11:47 AM

Hobz you ending your lease early, or trading into something else?

If early, how?

Badhobz 10-25-2025 12:07 PM

Some old man is taking over my lease. He’s going to assume the payments. I’ve done a lot of these lease takeovers. Everytime I wanna get out of a lease in just get someone to take it over. It’s pretty painless.

It’s also why it’s very important to never put any down payment on a lease as you don’t get any of that back, and also to have favourable lease terms. Like the same gti is now 750 a month whereas mine is 500 a month

bcedhk 10-25-2025 02:10 PM

Are you covering the lease transfer fee? How much are they nowadays?

radeonboy 10-25-2025 02:20 PM

Whoops I didn't mean to derail the thread :lol

Went to have a look at the '$99 lease' Buzzes at the VW Richmond lot last night after hours - looks like they have a ton on the lot to choose from still despite the deal they're running.

I think this solid black one looks pretty dope. Also, what is '3 Year Key Fob Protection'??

Aren't you gonna lose your nein plate? Unless you put it on a Corolla :fulloffuck::considered: and recreate the axis :pokerface:

They expect you to lose your key over the three years, so make sure you "lose" the key! :drunk:

Are you looking to get one of these? I've lost track of how many cars you had/have.

In my head: Volvo twin-charged super car + Kia EV of some kind + Lexus LFA somewhere, and likely a Jaguar or something. :badpokerface:

JDMDreams 10-25-2025 02:45 PM

Doesn't bcaa give you replacement keys?

Badhobz 10-25-2025 03:54 PM

Fob protection is needed. If Ching Chong or Durka Durka Deep comes to fuckup your ride, activate FOB protection and a german ubermensch will come out of ze trunk and start shouting aryan slogans at it.

Ah, so it's just another back-office insurance product they're tacking on. It'd be worth it if it's what Hobz is describing :lol

Nah an ID Buzz isn't on my radar right now. If anything, I am on the lookout for a low-mileage 2023 Soul EV.

Nope. He’s going to pay for that. It’s about 1100 dollars. In the olden days it was 500 bucks then 800 bucks. Now it’s over 1k.
