Sep 2017 Auto sales. Madness continues. TRUKS+TRANNYS FOR EVERYONE

[Tar]

I like the fit.

Peasant!

Oh I wouldn't actually drive one. Fk that!

[Tar]

In terms of slapping a light on top of your personal car to dash in and destroy some drug lords with a hail of gunfire and smoke, the SRT 392 is the clear choice.

Quote fail... in terms of how to pay for car (s):

Free doughnuts and coffee at the police station means not having to pay for breakfast each day?

[razr390]

You could afford it you just choose not to.

I can't breh... adulting costs money.

You mean going out to strip clubs and blown cash on alcohol with no return on investment? I get it. Different priorities

housing/retirement/rainy day fund/furniture etc... Life comes at you hard breh. 60/65k you should be looking at most at a GTI.

I bought my GTI when I graduated college making like $36k. My other monthly expenses were low, so it wasn't too terrible a decision, but I wish I'd spent less back then. 25-28k while making 60k is much more reasonable and responsible.

False.

Subaru spent 5.9% (as a % of MSRP) while the industry spend 13% on average. In fact, Subaru spent the least out of mainstream brands. Toyota spent 10.7% and Honda spent 8.2%.

Subaru ATP was 22k average, while the industry was 31k. They also don't have any vehicles larger than midsize to drive up the ATP...which is even more amazing that spending is so low because nobody wants smaller cars these days.

Subaru's flat performance despite the madness of everyone else is No way around that. Regardless of MSRP correction or whatever you want to blame, people are driven by s lately. There's something to be said for inflating MSRP and discounting down to drive sales it seems but Subaru doesn't have to do that.

You basically contradicting yourself in your post ?

I made a statement that subaru MSRPs are closer to transaction prices because they don't inflate them.

Unlike what happens at the big 3 and trucks, where you basically have 5-12k sitting on the hood on the average transaction.

If scion was still around their % of discount to MSRP would be comparable, similar business models.
Subaru doesn't do MSRP creep anywhere near where others are, who then proceedto discount back down and inflate that % unnecessarily so.
Case in Point
4dr Man WRX STI $34,095.00 / N/A MSRP in 2012
4dr Man WRX STI $35,195 / N/A MSRP in 2017
2012 camaro MSRP $23,280
2012 camaro MSRP $25,905
TRUKS are far worse.

But yea fake news cuz Subaru is the car of the gods.

No, your statement was that Subaru spends just as much as everyone else. I proved that false. I went on to agree that their MSRPs are closer to transaction prices requiring less spending, and as such it's that their sales are flat in this climate of s.

Once the real world hits you, you'll be shopping Yarii and Fits, breh.

That's what should happen, but if he's like me he'll buy expensive shit first and take years to figure out that car payments are for morans.

We all learn eventually.

Though, I've never had anything with a monthly commitment over $400. It's my personal max. Yes, I know it's stupid. But it's kept my head above water in good times and

I also didn't have the parental safety net that :milennial: does, so I guess YOLO in that instance. If you can't fail, the risk is non-existent.

Once I get salary I’m moving out. Not much of a safety net after that.

I’m planning on swinging for a good CPO Golf R or a GTI but we shall see. If the makes sense I wouldn’t mind a nice SRT. I don’t spend money on much else, honestly.

There are a lot of factors at play and the fact that I said I’d like one doesn’t translate directly into I will get one no matter the circumstances. A lot depends on where a career will take me (location), cost of living in that location, and salary/bennies.

Just don't buy something without lifing a bit. The first paychecks can be fantastic until you realize how much is allocated to housing (rent, utilities, insurance,etc) food, RETIREMENT (do not skimp here), etc, etc. Spend some time living on a budget to figure out what you can comfortably afford.

Truth. Luckily I’ll have my gf so we will split rent and utilities proportionally to income. I plan on trying to put at least 25% away to retirement/savings.

Yeah, don't count on that forever.

I moved to CA with my college sweetie. We were together for half of college. Lived in CA for 2 years, I proposed, she said yes...then cheated on me two months later.

Suddenly, my income was cut in half and I was homeless. I had to survive.

You never know what life will do to you. You have to keep monthly commitments low until you get well established.

But I guess a lot of this comes from experience. So whatever.

Experience and circumstances for sure. Gf and I are about to be 6 years and we’ve been though a lot that has made us stronger and made us even more committed to one another.

But point taken. I am realistic but I always try to be optimistic rather than pessimistic.

[ChrisoftheNorth]

You just NEVER know. I said the same thing about my whore ex.

Keep the costs down, the savings up, and keep steady for as long as you can. Nothing is certain when you launch.

[Tar]

Hey Rudy, aside from busting you chops about on new or Arr, I do think a congratulations on a new job opportunity is in order! I'm proud of you broski, it's been an uphill battle for you to date.

[wap]

Don't you think you should land a real job and a real place to live before you buy 2 cars next year?

In the process of happening as we speak.

Life’s too short to drive a Honda shit

Deets

[wap]

I might just get a Golf R egg too. have to weigh out my options.

Rudy, aren't you the broham who was going to be polizei? And now you are getting a SRT 392 and a Golf ARRR?

Tell us about your new inheritance, trust fund, new position in the drug trade/and/or bribes, sugar momma, etc.. Inquiring minds want to know how you're starting off the month $2000 in the hole on car payments and insurance.

He also plans on moving out on his own as soon as he gets a job, too.

New job in process with would start me out at 60-65k and have me living in Oregon.
