So a buddy of mine who refunded his deposit for a GR Corolla got called by the sales person asking if he still wanted one and if he had his trade in… at msrp plus $299 for protective film…. I reiterate he refunded his deposit like 9 months ago… things are starting to swing the other way

I wonder if it has anything to do with the 8% interest rates and everyone's mortgages coming up for renewal at 5.5-6%.
Seen a few new Golf R's got for Msrp.

Seen a few new Golf R's got for Msrp. | The Supras were already at 6.5-7% for lease / finance so I don't think it's the higher interest rates that are affecting decisions, so I think it is more mortgages / cost of living factors you mentioned that are changing people's decision. The Supra's also been out for a few years now too so I'm guessing those that want one already have / had one.
I noticed the ND2 Miatas cooling in value lately, so maybe those 7.5 Golf Rs will cool off pretty soon as well.

Seen a few new Golf R's got for Msrp. | cost of living is definitely creeping up.
got some speculators that calling us to see if we wanted their "brand new allocations" that are "arriving soon"
guy wants to make middle man money of $10k plus and we're like nah. that ship has already set sailed already. goodluck on your FL5/ GR Corolla allocation son. Shouldn't have swung it if you don't have the means to pay for it.

That's the problem though isn't it? They have nothing to lose, they tie up 500-1000 to get on a list and they get it all back if they can't middle man it.
Might have to delay this whole car thing a little, the FHSA accounts that came up need funding. =/

Lol dat $40g fhsa isn't gonna help you shit in 5 years. You probably can't even get a base golf at $40k in 5 years  Yolo
If you had FULL $40g TODAY x 5% a year is only $51,051.26 in 5 years.  | |

It's pretty litt if you read the details.
8k is tax deductible like a RSP, if you don't draw from it it automatically becomes extra RSP. It's a free $40k taxable income reduction.

Actual good buy on a Boxster GTS - brand new but listed for less than MSRP. Spec'd very close to how I'd spec it (I'd get the blue interior), too bad I don't have money lying around for it yet.

the 4L with the drop top is a very nice drive and you can hear all the great induction noises.

Or a V8 RX8! All the cool thing are showing their face. I think Fliptuner needs both to complete the collection. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace...ibextid=6ojiHh

Paging Trollface. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/20...gen-golf-r-12/ Quote:
These days, most new cars come with a strictly limited set of colors from the factory. Usually, you get a small selection of blacks, whites, and greys, with red or blue sometimes joining the party. Every now and then, though, a car slips through the cracks and scores a color that was definitely not in the brochure. That's exactly what happened at Volkswagen in 2016, with a special kind of grey.
As seen on Bring a Trailer, the car in question is a 2017 Volkswagen Golf R. It's become a bit of a legend since it first hit the dealership lot in November 2016. That's because this Golf R was painted in Carbon Steel Grey Metallic, a color that was never officially available on the model from the factory. When the car was first listed for sale by Lindsey Volkswagen in Dulles, Virginia, the car caused a major stir...
