Remember that company that sells all their cars under $19k as of now.
The base AE86 new back in 1987 cost how much? Somewhere around $10-11k? That puts it just around $20-22k with the CPI inflation calculator. $30k would be suicide for this car. Ryephile, why don't you create a poll and ask how many forum members would buy this car if it is priced at $30k.  |
We should do a poll about who is going to buy this car the first 6 months and who is just blowing smoke. Because some of these pipe dreamers are asking and wanting this car to be a certain way but they probably can't afford because they are a)in debt b) bad credit c)not enough credit d)low income e)unemployed f) mid income with debt. Not saying all but I pretty sure a lot fall into this car seeing as the target audience is 17-25. Well I'm not any of those or age for that matter, I can very well order this car and pick it up once it hits the port, just like that.
Also who wants to be apart of an aftermarket where the other owners will pay almost anything for parts, if they will pay almost anything for a car like this. It's a trickle down effect, I must be the cheapest well off consumer.
Now take $27.4k OTD and put that into 4-6% APR by 72months I hope you guys can afford a 400+/month payment + 140+/mo in insurance + 300+/mo gas. That's $840+ a month for this car can you guys realistically do that?
Let's do a poll on $840+ a month and also like previously mentioned who is buying in the first 6 months.
