FTFYBlame the government.

To be clear, I don't like liberals in the USA, at all.Blame liberals. Both in US and Canada
There are also many folks that have invested and profited greatly from the Trump era stock market run up!To be clear, I don't like liberals in the USA, at all.
However, I'm not so sure the current trend of stupid buying habits is really their fault.
I feel like the way people are burning through money on new, hard to find vehicles, with massive markups, is likely due to people not good at fiscal responsibility. I would bet, when you see someone rocking a new, hard to get Rivian, Bronco, C8.... whatever it is, there's likely a HELOC loan involved. And the real estate mess is insane, has little to do with any one political ideology.
Now, if you're talking about people living in section 8 with expensive rims, top of the line smartphones and kids on free lunch.... well that's more like what you're identifying.....
Curious how this plays out, max $10K ADM for a Proto Spec, keep us updated and pics after you pull it up your driveway. Good luck, let's see if this dealer is legit.I got the call from my salesperson at my dealership that my Proto Spec Z is in production this month and should be delivered by Mid September. $500 deposit in and 10k non negotiable ADM. so I guess Iām gonna pay it. Reluctantly! Will the 240 protoās be numbered Iām wondering?? Can I tell by my VIN # shown here??
Dealer is definitely legit. Have purchased 5 cars over the years from the same group. Salesperson texted me the VIN too.Curious how this plays out, max $10K ADM for a Proto Spec, keep us updated and pics after you pull it up your driveway. Good luck, let's see if this dealer is legit.
You Hit the nail on the head!Listen, people getting $2,500 extra money is not going to give them the ability or desire to go out a buy a new - or used car. In fact, the average age of on the street cars has lengthened to a new record -almost fourteen years.
Housing buying is not poor people using that money, either.
Rich people pocketed to the money, mid income probably paid off debt or blew it on furniture, TV, etc, and the poor bought food to eat.
Now, credit card debt is at a record high, savings at a record low. Inflation can be blamed for some, a two year devastating period of economic upheaval is the rest of it.
Congratsā¦.enjoy itDealer is definitely legit. Have purchased 5 cars over the years from the same group. Salesperson texted me the VIN too.
Not gonna flip it @trackrstZ! Flippers Piss me off! My C8 wonāt be flipped either. Paid MSRP for it. And yes I drive and am gonna drive this Z. Itās sad to me when peeps just let them sit ā¦they were made to enjoy in this life!Let's bet @71zman is going to flip it, hmmm I hope not though, a manual Proto Spec is indeed special .
No. Regardless of the current economic situation caused by COVID and our shit government there would still only be 240 Protos built. That's not a supply chain issue. Therefore, it's just straight greediness on the dealer's part.dealers markup bc there is not an abundance of them. why not? bc supply chain broken due to covid that in turn cause shortage of products. but how do pp afford high price ? i think partly bc surplus money coming from fed zero rates that cause house shopping frenzy in turn doubling house price in many markets, this generational housing weath enables pp to do (or not do) a lot of things including paying markups for products that used not to be so. oc there are other factors and weathy pp besides this but definitely a good % of the new wealth is fr the recent housing price rise.
Great to hearā¦itās the first real order we have seen, even in front of Aus and Canadaā¦because you are the first with a VIN.Not gonna flip it @trackrstZ! Flippers Piss me off!
