Anyone watch these car dealer video's. I saw one where a kid had a Hyundai that he owed 10k on but the car was only worth 4k. He wanted to trade it in and lease a Mercedes c63. This one is kind of fckd too.
I've seen these reels from various dealers and it's amazing how much gen z will take on 8+ year loans or trade in cars that are super underwater for clout.
other than boring brokies insisting on Honda/Toyota like they're the second coming of jesus, who didn't try to buy or finance way too much car in their 20s?

My mom gave me 8000 bucks for a down payment and i leased the CTS for like $650 bucks a month. The caddy wasnt cheap, it was almost 40k and i was only able to afford the base model.
Should i have just taken the 8k and bought a used toyota? hell yes, but this is a 21 year old me and i was trying to get as much ass as possible. Its pretty hard to do that in a jalopy.

You forgot to quote the important part, man~

I actually met spy balloon with this car, so its a dream maker
Obviously Badhobz made the right decision to over-purchase the amount of car he could afford at the time, and it paid off big time~!

Fail. Price tag at close to 350-450k. Who you think you are ? Porsche ? Nobody’s gonna pay that for a v8TT and aluminum body / chassis. Hell my LC has more carbon fibre parts than this thing.
Fail. Interior is boring and ugly
Fail. V8TT at only 4.0L displacement make me think this is an all new engine design. Just like the v35 v6TT, does anyone trust Toyota anymore ?
Fail. Exterior is boring and proportions are ugly.
Fail. 3800lb curb weight.
Success. Thanks for bumping up the value of my LC today.

Hmm... I wonder what their target production numbers are gonna be.
According to Wikipedia, Lexus only made 500 LF-A in total over its 2 year production run, and all of them were only available through leases. (Then how did the blue one ended up being purchased by someone locally and stowed away for some 10+ years?)
Is Toyota gonna be stupid and only make a handful of them while putting them onto leases again?

That would be the only way to keep values high, but none of this car is that exclusive. Doesn’t really have an exotic engine or exotic materials. This is going to be a sales disaster for Toyota. Worst of all the Lexus LFA EV is sacrilege, although the design of that car is excellent. If they put the v8TT in the body they would have my money.

A bit further on in the same paragraph in Wikipedia...
Quote:
Lexus later changed their stance and allowed outright purchase, but only on the condition that they sign an agreement giving the dealer the first right of refusal to buy back the LFA if the owner wanted to sell it within the first two years. The dealer would have the option to buy back the used LFA for either fair market value or the original sticker price, whichever is lower.[44] In the European market, buyers could order their LFA through a single Lexus dealer located in Park Lane, London where it was purchased outright.
The hood is way too long on the GT, the car seems overstyled overall, so it better be function over form.
It's a shame the LFA is going to be an EV. I get it, Toyota needs a halo EV car but it's a shame that body is an EV.
It's Toyota, hopefully they're going to be super conservative to avoid the engine blowing up. The hood is super long because it's FM - front midships - they've pushed the engine behind the front axle.

I get the FM thing and I expect no less for a front engine hipo build, but that front overhang is utterly ridiculous.
