wow that is steep price and that is the reason i am not jumping gun. i would try to stay below $60k not to regret later when we see prices normalizingI've been considering the upgrade to a 200 as well. There's a 2017 w 50k miles for $71k that I was going to check out and drive. But I figure my rig is only worth $15k (2003 w 190k miles) so to get into this rig, I'd have to sell mine and come up with another $60k (w tax). Then I think how much I really like my Hundy and I never schedule an appt to see it.
yep, a friend of mine sold his 2016 w 75k miles in 2019 for $55k. It was immaculate and he was the original owner. I wasn't ready to buy it then, but that's the sort of deal I'll look for when prices normalize.
Yeah I bought a 3 year old cruiser in 2016 with the same mileage and paid less than $50k.
It depends on your needs. If you don't need an LC right now, you could always buy a beater to DD for a bit until the LC you want shows up. you could also do a monthly rental from Hertz or something when you get to Vegas and then try to find the vehicle you want at that time
As noted by others, the entire used/new vehicle market is screwed up right now, with the epitome of the mess being the LC/LX. There really isn’t a sweet spot for anything at the moment, with MSRP and above being the norm across the board. Being in Singapore, you likely have not seen the empty dealer lots or the vast numbers of unsold vehicles in manufacturer lots awaiting chips in the U.S. I recommend going to the nearest Carmax lot when you get to Vegas and buying something that works for you in the interim until the supply/demand gets normalized a bit. Otherwise I’m afraid getting ripped off will be hard to avoid.
I think vehicle prices are far outside the realm of normal inflation right now, due to the chip shortages. Vehicle inflation is like housing inflation at 20% per year, whereas the Fed is tracking broader inflation at more like 6-7% right now. There's nothing on dealer lots around here, so with supply low and demand high dealer can pretty much ask whatever they want, hence the markups. If manufacturers can start getting chips again then I expect the supply problem to subside, which *should* reduce prices somewhat. You're right though, I doubt that they'll go back to where things were as Toyota etc will raise prices at (or above) the rate of inflation.The dollar just continues to be worth less (not worthless...yet). Don't expect these prices to go down much even if inflation does start to taper. Get a fixed low interest loan at whatever price you afford. The fed will continue to kill the dollar. In a few years you will look back, just like others are doing now, at the "relative" deal you got. It's criminal what our politicians are doing but you don't have to a victim. I'd much rather have hard assets in this environment and a LC/LX is a very hard durable asset.
I hadn't heard about it being discontinued. Is this official from Toyota? As in a statement confirming they won't be bringing the 300 in, or is is market speculation?More People Buying Toyota Land Cruiser Now That It's Being Discontinued
January was the best sales month for the Land Cruiser in a decade, and December 2020, the month Toyota said it would be discontinued, was second-best.www.caranddriver.com
Only in the US. The US is a very competitive market for cars. We let almost any and every company in. The ones that suck don't last long. But the chicken little mentality, that suggests the LC isn't a success is incorrect. The LC is a great vehicle internationally. We're just at a crossroads where the move to electric is changing the landscape.
