You just described me. However, I wouldn’t want to pay that much for a truck with that milage. Even considering that it’s a Toyota and the market is beyond crazy. The only comparison I have is my cargo van which is similar miles and year (but not as good condition) for $1800.

I sure hope by August 2022 things have normalized. I’m not paying these prices and I don’t have any interest in a 4XE !

We built the house and moved in when our oldest was 10 months old
I call it the “exactly what were you thinking house”. It is way bigger than we need but that’s what people built 19 years ago. Full basement but parts were drawn as crawl and the builder said we’d have 6 foot crawl spaces so we just made it basement.

For a car offering a lot for the money, an $80 bumper appliqué is outrageous, a donation.
Looks great, @mjfloyd1!
Nope, outrageous is $475 for lights that show Audi rings when you open the doors, $340 for all weather floor and cargo mats and $185 for rear hatch bumper paint protection.
I thought the wheels looked horrible online but I really like them in person.
Happy wife - at least I have a chance at happiness…

It's fairly monstrous at ~84"x89"x18" and moves in two pieces.
Just need to avoid absurd deals like a $450 F150 for $800/Month!
or buy something that normally sells with no or minimal discount because it is already priced cheap. Actually, a new Maverick could fit that bill. and just pay sticker-ish.

but they priced that low enough, especially if you get a modestly equipped version, that even sticker is a good deal and big discounts are not likely (or required).

@mjfloyd1 - that Q7 is gorgeous! Best of luck with it!

must be a relative unicorn. should grab that one up and be done with it.
I would not mind that same car in a 330i variant.

This is the insane world we live in
Double the doors, double the drive wheels, more than double the price
No doubt it was a bit less when new

And here's my guess....0-60 with the hybrid engine in about 10 seconds.
I think the Maverick will have additional mark-ups beyond msrp for the first few months, but at list price it is a compelling vehicle from my pov.

@roadburner, you need to discuss this with @breld

But life is short and if it is truly the car of your dreams…
Is it kinda purplish brown?
People like colors way different than I like
But the world would be awfully boring if we all drove the boring colors that I like
Looks like a great car to drive around corners. What's the year and the price?

24k ish miles
Almost $68k
And since the original msrp was 82k maybe the price is actually okay? And maybe they'd consider 64?

“He’s in the car, he smells and sees the smoke, turns around and sees the smoke is filling up the cabin, then flames, and reacts almost immediately,” Geragos said in an interview. “The door malfunctions, he gets out and somehow the car is still running [down the road] according to witnesses as he’s trying to get away from the car. And within moments of him getting out of the car, the car is engulfed in flames.”
“Once he saw the fire shoot out of the back, that’s when he immediately pulled over to try to exit the vehicle,” Setchen said. “He tried to get out of the vehicle; he was pushing the door frantically and it would not engage.”
Finally, he said, the owner put the weight of his body against the door.
“He was able to push the button again and lean against the door very hard and that’s when it opened up,” he said.
Awkward.
Both the fastest car 0-60 and fastest to engulf in 🔥

That Q7 really is nice!

We had a friend with a late '90s Tacoma, and they bought her truck back in 2003 for frame rust issues.

TLX is longer than I need but still drove nice and does fit in the garage. A middle size sedan is just a preference really. Given a choice something in the Civic size range (184"?) or a little smaller just overall is better IMO. Bigger serves no purpose and is overkill. I will say though, the TLX never seemed to be as big as it really was. And actually width is a bigger problem than length. Skinny cars fit in the garage easier!
A Maverick (or any of those trucks) is of course longer, but different type of vehicle serving a different purpose. I just don't want to deal with a real truck at 240" or so. But another big plus to the Maverick is that it is much skinnier than bigger trucks (I think 8-10" narrower than a Ranger even) so can get into the garage without taking off the mirrors.
the M3? My opinion is that a dream car (especially an exceptionally rare one) is a tangible thing that you get when the stars align. A budget is just an arbitrary number in your head (assuming of course you have the money available for whatever you want). And you can't take it with you. And in this case, if you are worried about "leaving it to the kid" they just get a super nice car instead! RB can consider it a reward for going back to work after being retired.
if you have limited money and have to worry about eating every month, then no, definitely don't spend all your savings on a fancy car.

The 2021 TLX has a width of 75.2 inches.
The previous generation of TLX has a width of 73 inches.
My SA and I both wished that BMW had brought over a six cylinder E63- the V8 isn’t horrible but the six is much easier to maintain. I was lucky to have a 645Ci to drive for a week.
