Tell him to take your wife, and you'll keep the Q7 as a compromise.












I'm so sorry Greg.....really I am.

Hey, after 25 years of me carrying the finances, she's finally pulling her weight (and truth be told leaving me behind at warp speed). I'm not gonna trade her in *now* !!! ;-)
As for the Q7, it's butt ugly but it's a fantastic driver - great engine (S4's) and handling, and carries 7. Couldn't replace it...

exactly.. one could argue that there is probably a symbolic "__________ prices are crazy right now".... and " __________ inventory is very low, why?" (Fill in Brand and model) thread present on most automotive/motorcycle/boat forums..

Galactic shift in spending patterns, more cash on hand due to said shift and market returns, meme stonks etc (for those who were already doing well in life) and tons of down time/screen time/browse time... resulting in a "want-bubble" IMO

Contacted my dealer today to see if they'll buy my car – will report back what they say. Found a 993tt that I'm thinking of grabbing.

Paid $103k about 8 months ago, CPO), 21k miles.

Dealer came back offering $85k – low, as I expected.

Do you all think it's reasonable in this market to expect more? Sounded like dealers were making crazy offers just to get something in inventory.

Multiple data sources/articles have confirmed that the used car market has already hit the peak and slightly come down. It will only keep going down until it normalizes.

We’ve hit the peak now it will just be a slow descend back down to normal which could take a year or who knows how long.

Yes the market is still “hot” but not what it used to be 30 days ago.

Hey forbiddenbeat- I have close to your spec but 7mt, and on the east coast. My dealer offered 103K today, 15K miles.

The 911 market has been hot for years, believe it or not... Maybe you can say there was a dip between January and May of 2020, but thats about it. While the general market might dip, 911's won't so much.

Good to know, thanks! I think this particular dealer was just looking for some "easy" money.
