This would be quite a leap, most we ever spent for a car was 50k, now I’m considering right at 100k, but it’s doable. We’ve been financially quite conservative, so maybe we need to now jump out of our comfort zone
We have a test drive scheduled this week. So I’m prepping for it
I am kinda thinking 90D, maybe 75d. I think the 10k difference is justifiable. Pretty much have some options decided on should we buy. Pretty sure we’d go with stock 19” wheels, autopilot, and pano roof
Undecided and would love thoughts on:
1) Premium upgrade package, not sure about 3k there, power liftgate is appealing, wondering about rest of package
2) Smart air suspension – this car will be used mostly locally in Orange County, good roads, no steep driveway here
3) Premium sound, prob not really worth 2.5k, but we really like XM radio, anyone really like the sound upgrade, my current car is a Genesis w/Lexicon sound, and I love it
4) Next gen seats – we’ve never sat in them, so don’t know. Not really impressed with the seats in the 2013 we drove. Kind of leaning towards the upgrade
Lastly, insurance. AAA wants 1800/yr roughly. Seems high. Per forum thread, got a quote from Costco/Ameriprise. Shockingly low. Has anyone dealt with Ameriprise, especially handling a claim? Or other thoughts on insurance welcome
Sorry for this 1st post length, but appreciate any thoughts
