Possible good news on the car shortage front. I noticed today that our wholesale marketing lot had over a hundred cars ready to sell for the first time in a year. Still short of the 500+ we usually had but the most full I’ve seen it in a year. (We actually did a few deliveries to dealers today). Our new car lot for cars going into service was nearly full as well. Again, this hasn’t been the case for months.
Certainly, this is just anecdotal but it may mean that the car shortage is loosening a bit. One can only hope.

You will have to ask someone at Michelin about that, as that is the name of that particular winter tire.

This is probably right. Also doesn’t help that most of the stock right now is high optioned SEs and Autobahns so the lowest prices I’m seeing is 37-41k.

Nothing you can add to an SE but DSG and leather (pass on both). $35K is the new $30K.

It can be surpassed by many but the thickness is not the same
For every guy that can surpass factory paint quality there has got to be 10 bums working in the industry that couldn't if you gave them 1,000 tries on 1,000 vehicles.

We will probably consider a PHEV to replace the GLC. I like the X5 and the new NX PHEV. Our GLC has been good *knock on wood* - we've got 52K miles on it now, and haven't really had many issues. We didn't put many miles on it from 2020-2021, but put 15K or so on it this last year, despite both working from home.
Once summer comes, the miles will decrease on my E-Tron now that I have th M235. I took the E-Tron on a 180 mile round trip for work this week, and was able to charge at my destination, and then just turn around and come home, which was pretty cool. That being said, EVs have a LONG way to go, as I think of people like my parents who would never want to deal with range anxiety or the complexities of figuring out where to charge on a road trip. The range RAPIDLY decreases when you're going 70+, which is usually how I drive
@rny421 - I really am loving the X5.
I hardly use the full EV mode at all. The range estimate indicates I should get the 30-35 miles out of it as expected.
I suppose because I have the Polestar, the EV mode on the X5 isn’t very exciting. But the hybrid mode is wonderful…using the electric motor for smooth and quiet starts, and then smoothly transitioning in the I-6.
There is often a lag when trying to accelerate a bit aggressively at low speeds though. But that goes away in sport mode, when the gas engine kicks in with more response.
In roughly 370 miles, generally starting each day with a full charge, I am currently averaging about 35 mpg.
The overall driving experience is excellent.

On a side note, we're going to order a new 50" smart t v either tomorrow or Sunday. The time has come where I really need a blue tooth t v to keep the noise level down & a smart one is the best way to go. Out of all the brands I've looked at, the Sony has the best reviews by customers so think that'll be the one. Will know more tomorrow when I go look at the unit before I buy online. Luckily, today's check will more than cover it!

Funny you mention the Nissans. I drove by the local Nissan dealer yesterday and they appeared to be very well in stock compared to the Ford and Buick/GMC dealer on the same road.
Can’t go wrong with a Sony TV.

That being said, my first call was to a dealer right across the border in NY. A friend of mine recently made a contact while shopping, so I figured I'd give them a call. These are either from US Bank or Ally. The guy said the CCAP lease would be approximately $9 more per month. Here's what they sent me for a demo with 4,100 miles on it:

What’s the MSRP? Im guessing 48K or so? I just can’t wrap my head around these leases. May as well just buy it for $760 a month.
Edit .. this is a demo. Ugh

I’m surprised. I’ve had several going back to tube TVs and all have been flawless.

That “play money” does come in handy. I still can’t believe they pay us for doing this job.

Up here we’re getting in a lot of big Fords, Toyotas and Nissans into inventory. Also a ton of Ram trucks. They are still buying a lot of used vehicles right off dealer lots.

I mean, if you and your wife like it and are comfortable with the payment terms, go for it. We all shop so often that we’re very in tune with the market…which means we all remember very well what these cars cost to buy or lease a mere year ago. But that’s certainly not the reality right now, and probably not for another year at least. Maybe we never get back to the place of crazy discounts if the manufacturers decide they like the idea of limiting inventory.
So the fun stuff…what color is this GC demo?

Completely understand. The good thing is you know the outcome and you aren’t at the mercy of what could ever happen to the market. I said it a few weeks back, that in this market you are better off paying the going rate for a lease than rolling the dice on something used at these prices.
Like @breld said we all know the current market. I do believe that we will see large inventories and discounts again, but who knows when that will happen.
As for the Jeep, I’ve seen quite a few videos on it and I like it a lot!

I guess I shouldn’t be surprised, but I found out this morning that one does not get a trade in tax credit for trading a lease in WA. There is a carve out in the code that isn’t on their consumer site.
Welp. That stinks.
Not that I’m entitled to it - I haven’t paid full sales tax.

I love my Sony 950H(which has since been superseded). For some reason the Panasonic UB820-K 4K BD player wouldn't work with the X950H so I exchanged it for a Sony UBP-X800M2. It works great and saved me $250 over the Panasonic.
