It's at MSRP :doe:

In seriousness, a better buy than a 10 year old unit at MSRP.
At some point it turns into classic car... a 40 year old car with 37k miles... i'd venture to say is there.

The new Tacoma that just launched is already 3k off at many dealers.
Four cylinder hybrid truck for $65K. What a time to be alive.

If in 2014 (enter year) I purchased an item for $ 30,000.00 then in 2024 (enter year) that same item would cost: $39,579.79 Cumulative rate of inflation: 31.9% Ready to end the fed yet? Cars generally don’t appreciate regardless of inflation. Especially mass produced VWs but the money is de-valueing.

I don’t trust the gov with a single dollar. They have shown us over and over again they are inferior to private enterprise. So clearly public transit is a direct result of that. It will never change.
