Maybe get a lightly used Q7? I know used car prices are crazy but still the first couple years should be reasonable depreciation... tho pay attention to when the mid-cycle refresh happened - I think it's with the 2020 model year; that's when they moved to the two large screens instead of tiny...

Assume based on your potential choices you need a 3 row SUV. Honestly if you want quality/premium feel, just go with the Q7. You really can't compare a Q7 to MY in terms of performance; they are completely different classes of car. One is a smaller sports SUV while the other is a mainly comfort...

I don't know if the OP is stupid or just trolling... Many, or most luxury cars are leased, because it's generally cheaper to lease if you want a new car every 3 years. A lease is a forward contract that guarantees the sale price of the car at the end of the lease - and this value is generally...

If you are OK with spending high 50s you should look into pre-owned Porsche Cayenne (like a certified S from 4 years ago or even a GTS if you can find a lucky one) or very late model BMW X5 (new gen from 2019). These are probably the best driving cars of their size and honestly are much better...

An 2012 Model S is almost 10 years old and early Model S's were known to have serious quality issues. Basically the advice I have seen on this board is don't buy it unless the battery pack and motor have been replaced. Even so, it may depend on how long ago they were replaced and also be...

This past year has been a major anomaly in used car prices. Prices are unusually high due to various shortages and work stoppage that have limited new car production. As things return to normal, used car prices should return to normal and the 8+ year model S's should then fall to normal levels...

I remember the post; think it's 11k after some negotiated discount (for a refurbished battery). However that's the base price on the battery; after all installed + tax it was 14.5k.

This is not about Tesla, but as a rule of thumb, do NOT buy an old, out of warranty luxury car that was expensive (say 80+k) when new but now only cost 20 something k. The sweet spot for used luxury cars is 3-6 years old, in terms of price, features, and cost of maintenance/repairs. I assume...

I think yes. To me, the Model S is noticeably more comfortable to sit in than the Model 3, and offers a smoother, quieter ride. It's not that big of a deal for a normal daily commute and occasional road trips. However if it's sitting in it for 4 hrs a day at highway speeds, I definitely would...

OP really spent 12k to fix a car that's not worth much more!? I probably would have traded it in for whatever they were willing to give me, if any (would have been junked otherwise)...

I drove the Taycan 4s extensively (given to me as a loaner) when my Cayenne was being serviced a couple months ago. The car is a Porsche first and an EV second. I don't feel it competes with any Tesla at the moment (if we disregard the EV part). The Model S feels more like a BMW 5 series. The...

Assuming the Z4 is in good condition, I definitely wouldn't part it for a model 3. The fact is the Z4 is much more fun to drive. You got stick and hydraulic steering, both of which enthusiasts desire. Also the car is only like 3000 pound so MUCH MUCH more tossable. In addition to handling, the...

The used pricing is simply ridiculous; just buy the new car.

Just test drove a Model Y LR this past weekend. I walked away very disappointed. The suspension is really poor - it's really the worst of both worlds. Usually with suspension, you have to make a trade between handling and comfort, so it's either stiff but handles well, or soft but boaty /...

Honestly if the subscription is for a service where the driver still has to pay full attention, I just don't see how people would find it to be worth much at all, let alone 100+ per month... AP is included in the car and highway driving is the large majority of most commutes... something that...
