With money you're talking why wouldn't you look at an Accord, Camry or used Lexus.

IMHO
100% NO on a used Cadillac
Lease the new WV
Better deal on the VW, the cadillac and pre-owned VW were at the VW lot. Also didn't like how Toyota salesperson tried to get me to sign something

Looking at 3 vehicles to replace my aging, rusted out Focus (170,000) miles. I was looking at a VW Taos brand new, for 30,000 (would either lease or finance) but the guy told me I can get all the same features in that VW Taos (driver assists, Apple CarPlay, etc.) for a 2018 VW Tiguan with 45,000 miles on it, it's going for 24,000. There is also a Cadillac ATS, 2017 (have to check mileage again Monday, but it appears to be at 50,000 - 60,000). That's going for 27,000 and is mid-level luxury car.
Don’t fukk with a caddy bro, my beater is a 2015 caddy ats, the CUE screen is overpriced and crap. When it stops working (and it will) they’ll say you need to replace the whole system even if it’s just a touch screen issue and that’s like $1k+ I was like nah y’all tryna finesse me…this happened to a lady I worked with too, she had the 2014 ats and folded and paid them, now did they improve the cue with 2017? Not sure but i doubt it…it’s all over the Internet how ridiculous Cadillac CUE is so I’d research it.

A fleeting childhood
The new Taos is ok. I don’t like the back up camera but the different trim models don’t really provide much reason to get anything other than the base model. The dealer is right about it compared to the Tiguan. The warranty almost up on that Tiguan (not sure what dealer offering). My peoples never had an issue with the Tiguan and I liked the feel of driving it ( drove it like 4K miles).

Can’t provide any insight on the Cadillac.
If you got time, the new Kia and Hyundai mid size SUV are worth looking into. The Seltos is dope.

The Set
Correct me if im wrong here, but isnt the fed about to begin a stream of interst rate increases to combat inflation?:jbhmm:


If so, then now would seem like the best time to (refinance/newly finance) everything before the central fed's lending rate to its partner institutions increases. That same rate should migrate its way to bussiness and consumer debt, similar to how due to fed action, it was normal to have double digit home lending interest rates during the horrible inflation of the 70s and 80s.:patrice:

I need a car now though, I was going to wait until the summer but I spent more on the last 3 months in repairs on my cars that I could've used that as a down payment. It's just timing, how was I to know that it would start to crap out on me now.
Cars are overpriced right now. With inflation and the market bottoming out.. The general sentiment is that there will be a lot of repos and more supply than demand. Of course you should do what serves your situation. If you must buy before them just make sure that you are well informed. I would avoid luxury cars at the moment. Those are the first to drop..

yeah I was playing around with it and it was shyt. Also in these newer cars it's hard to replace the head unit unless it has something you don't have on it.

I have to test drive it, I think I will go with the Tiguan (still has a warranty on it) I liked the new Tucson, I'll look into the Seltos.

went with the taos and I'm leasing it, I'm satisfied. Main reason is bc it's brand new.
