Cars.... How far have you went before getting a new one?

[mocat]

A month ago I bought a 2000 Toyota Tundra double cab.  While looking for a truck I became obsessed with the size of the 1st gen Tundras.  They're not super huge truck nuts trucks so they will fit in the garage but they still have a V8 and a 6.5 ft bed.  They're the perfect size of truck in between mid size and full size.  By the way, it only had 61K miles on it.  Wow!   Bought it from an 85 year old gentlemen who bought it new when he was 65 and had barely driven it the last 10 years.  I want to drive it to like 250K hopefully.

Also we traded in our Toyota Sienna for a Buick Enclave. 

So now you're up to date on _33 and family's car dealings.

This is awesome

thinking of getting her the new 2022 MDX.

i recommend looking at the genesis suvs if you're considering a lexus.  imo better looking and supposed to be very nice leathery feeling and quietness.  and better value.

MDX is a Kroger brand Lexus (Acura)

all of their stuff is end of life cycle. if they'd refresh their SUV lineup at some point I would.

I am looking at I getting a 2022 Honda Civic for commuting.  We will only use the van for road trip type stuff and hybrids are still too expensive to make it worth the while.  I probably won't actually buy this and will continue to drive my 2007 Honda Accord, but I think this is the next move unless I can hold out long enough for the EV space to drive down prices a bit more with GM ramping up their lineup.

Used electrics (esp. Leafs) are really good deals out here but not sure if there's much available in MHK

I reserved a Bronco last week.

i reserved mine on the day they were announced and hope I take delivery in 2021.  heard recently they were up to 170k reservations, not all of which will turn into actual orders but I would definitely expect your order to be built in 2022.

Any update on your reservation, clams?  I got an email this week saying that it would be May before I can come into the dealership to finalize my order.

I would need to read a bit more about battery lifetime on early EVs, but I would be pretty skeptical.

[ChiComCat]

I believe they've started to have longer warranties on the battery systems as well that may cover you

I drove a hybrid 30K miles a year between Louisville and Cleveland. 2012ish Toyota Prius C. Great commuter car IMO. Perfect grocery getter too. Hell, I put 20 bags of mulch in it once. Squatted the rear a bit though.

I'd be curious what info you'd find. IIRC it's dependent on the manufacture/model. I thought early teslas batteries were holding up relatively well.

Yeah, early Leafs aren't great but I think 2013 on is pretty good. Leafs have been on the roads for ten years and I think there have been like 4 or 5 battery updates.

I thought we were all getting Ford Bronco's...

as a day 1 reservation person i still expect to have mine in 3Q, thinking 2 door sasquatch badlands oxford white lux package but i seem to change my mind every day

[Institutional Control]

Feb is probably right for you since you reserved yours way before me.

I'll happy if I get mine before 2021 is over but if I don't, that's fine too.  I see that Bronco Sport is already out an on the streets. I have no interest in one of those.

Definitely buy something completely over sized on the off chance you need to tow an entire trailer full of Clydesdale's across the country.
