The Car Shopping Thread

[BuffaloPlunger]

100% agree. I miss my AR every day. The Guilia is not made for Memphis unfortunately.

Almost pulled the trigger on a 2024 Limited Sequoia. Dealership richards made it easy for me to walk away. Sorry not playing mark up on a vehicle that has been on the lot for 90 days. Find some other sucker.

We did this when we were shopping for my wife’s Bronco. They had 3 identical models on the lot and wouldn’t budge on her trade in or the sticker. Went to another dealer with a similar Bronco and didn’t get anything off the sticker but got $3k more for her trade.

The others are still on the lot…

We test drove the Q8 and my wife wanted something bigger . Too small for her

Denali HD?

That was always my complaint. Not a very functional interior. Fun to drive though.

She drive a Sequoia now so it has to be at least that big. We are looking at the Lexus Gx but if not then we’ll get a new model Sequoia and call it a day

I always pegged the Q8 as a larger vehicle but I’ve never been in one. The new GX is a really nice looking vehicle

The Q7 is bigger.

The Q8 is like a lifted hatchback, but really wide and heavy. Quirky little thing.

Interior is ok just not as much room as we’d like. Felt too tight if that makes sense

Now that you mention it I could see that.

What about a Navigator or Nautilus?

Navigator is on the list, haven’t thought about the nautilus at all bc if we go Lincoln it will be the Navigator

Nautilus is the small one

Aviator is the explorer size.


I really want to look at the aviator in person because I liked the explorer but the tech package was just so far behind.

I always mix those up. Our neighbor had a loaded Aviator before trading it in and I loved the look of it

Just picked it up today 2024 Camry, it's like riding on air.

How did she like the feel of the Sequoia? I really liked it and was surprised despite the truck like feel over bumps. Really love the redesign.

We traded our Q7 when we bought the Q8 (ordered it and waited four months for it) because my wife wanted the Q8 and the Q7 was out of warranty. I really like the Q8 but it really is quirky. I just wish I still had my '19 S5 that got obliterated by an old lady who crossed seven lanes of traffic into my path. I ended up with a '22 S5 and I just really don't like the touchscreen setup. I also had to settle for Daytona Grey/Black interior instead of the Glacier White w/red I had in the '19. That car was sexy.

We haven’t test driven that but we are in a 2014 now and it rides smooth and not like the Tundra

Is that the one that has the Hybrid engine? Or did you get one of the last 3.5L V6?

I really like the Camry but could never really have a FWD sedan in where i live in Canada.

If they ever made a true TRD Camry i'd be all over that if i move. The Lexus IS500 exists but is a bit smaller

Look at the Lexus version. Not a ton more when features are added and the overall ride is so much quieter

We at leaning CPO GX from 2023 bc of that very reason. We don’t give up any interior space and feels “big enough” for my wife to drive and feel safe

That looks like trouble. And fun.

The GX is a great vehicle. My only issue with it, is it has about half the safety features of the RX since it’s an older platform. Otherwise it’s my favorite look they have.

The 2022 RX is the last year they made the RX with the naturally aspirated V6 and a deal on one is a car built to go forever and will have all of the latest safety if that is a concern.

3.5L V6 and plenty of trunk space for 4 golf bags.

There is an AWD version of the hybrid now. I will be buying one shortly. Still debating between Camry or Corolla.
