Was that on top of the "Price is Right discount game" you played?

I financed at CU for the last 4 cars and all under 2%, but that was at least 4yrs old.

I'm starting to think this is a dream, because not only are they holding true to their word about sticker, but they found a local CU that undercut the local CU here. I told them I was offered 5.25%, they countered with 4.69%. Good deals still exist!

Used car prices are dropping.

I feel like we traded in our TT RS at the last possible time to maximize our trade in. Timing is everything in life. ?

Watching some vids on YT - where you have several YT small car dealers talking about the amount of cars they are seeing at the auctions (I understand that a lot of this is click baity haha)but it does seem to be happening where we have groups of people who would rather turn in their car than to try to keep up with a ridiculous payment plus deal with all the other items that have gone up considerably.

I guess what I am saying is that we all expected this and it seems to be coming to pass where prices for used cars will definitely be going down. If the auctions start driving down prices (which I believe is what we are seeing) then it will force dealers to lower their prices to unload their current inventory. Just the freaking interest rates that will keep most from buying. I know I have gone from 'I want a new car or slightly used car' to 'let it rot on the lot - F them dealers and the greed that we have seen'.

Finally was able to buy a Titan Pro-4x for what I would consider pre-pandemic situation. Both the Toyota and Nissan dealership said that they are "pretty much back to pre-pandemic normal" and there's 0% for 60 months from Nissan and incentives for 2024 Toyotas.

Got a lease return Pro-4x, loaded with every option, $63k new, 12k miles for $41k. They were initially asking $53k for it.

The interest rates are too high though....

It will be very interesting to see how Trump will be able to fix the whole economic situation after he comes in office.

There's a lot of things that really can't be fixed, and many things that take more than one 4 year term to correct. People and corporations won't sit idly by if their cash cows are threatened.

No president gets done what they promise, for multitudes of reasons. My main optimism about Trump is that this time he's bringing in outsiders. People who don't do well with the establishment.
Career politicians from both sides only want to fix their bank accounts or secure their legacy.
