I wanted to like the new Defenders a lot more than I do.
I've seen a few around town with a non-factory wheel/tire combo and it helped.
But overall the car is just meh. I still like the idea of them but....
I'd honestly rather have a new Bronco and some cash left over lol!
Macan EV.
I thought about the Bronco… but with dealer markups on them and on any ones ordered it’s effectively the same price.
Yeah it is crazy what they are going for.
As far as I know, around me, dealers WANT you to order one - and there is no markup.
My father in law is thinking about getting one for his wife but wasn't too sure.
The dealership pretty much said order it how you want it and if she does not like it/want it, they will take it back because they will be able to mark it up lol.
Jeez. It is just pure crazy right now.
I have a 2015 (MK7) VW GTI that I've had since new. I was planning on replacing it at the end of 2021 or beginning of this year but I've totally tabled that.
I really just wanted to get the MK8 that has just started hitting dealers. I REALLY wanted to get an R, but they are still a few months behind.
Anyway, I was talking to a local dealer who got a couple of MK8 GTI's in and they had already both sold with a $10k markup.
A $10K FREAKIN' MARKUP ON A GTI!!!!!! Depending on trim level...that could potentially be almost DOUBLE what I paid for my base model back in '15.
The entire market is crazy right now, except for Land Rover/Jag and Mazda... People for some reason have no clue that there is this amazing brand called Mazda that has some great cars at great prices.
Those are great.. I just need to drive 65mph for the majority of my driving. Don't get me wrong they are so much fun to drive... I'd pass on a series 1 though... give me a series IIa 😉
