Riders corner is oddly quiet since my leaving of the group. I didn't know I was your rock! Your glue, your fabric of society!
So, I went and test drove the 500 abarth, did all the math and paperwork last weekend. I jus could not pull the trigger on it. For the price vs the amount of car you get, it's priced about 4k too much. Even with .99% financing and dealer cuts, it still worked out to be $280 bi-weekly for 60/mo. That works out to a hilarious 36,000 lolololololo. Granted that's with zero down. So I obviously walked away.
A 2013 ford focus st fully loaded after tax is 33,000. Then minus a few thousand for the employee pricing, and they are offering it 0% financing. So I'm having a dealer ship one in for me to test drive. It's main competitor is the mazdaspeed3 but I went and checked them out, also overpriced! 34,000 for the mspd3 and you don't even get leather interior. The nav screen is dinky, the chassis is not nearly as controlled, fuel economy is worse, and lowest financing they can offer is 1.99%
Wish me luck boys. I'm also going to look at some cert pre owned gti's (4 door) and I'd lol to consider the newer sti wagon, but even used they hover too much $$
