Just putting down some real numbers to combat the ridiculous hyperbole.
I paid 71,500 for my car last august, before fees. That means I could receive an 7500 tax credit.
Exact same car is 56,990, a year later. Tax credit is now $1875. This car also includes basic autopilot that mine did not. I paid 7k for EAP after the fact. Basic AP is valued at what, 2k?
So I paid 71,500 - 5000 (PUP refund) - 7500 = 59,000.
Now I would pay 56,990 - 2k (ap adjustment) - 1875 = 53,115.
This is a net price change of under $6k, for buying the same exact car. But do go on with the complaints of losing 10k overnight. Then go ahead and forget about all the free new features you have received since delivery, features that you would NEVER receive, and certainly not for free, if you make good on your silly claims that you will go buy a stupid Lexus.
What? More like "the housing market is still going down so if that is something you can't handle you should rent". I still want proof of your claim that you paid 72,500 in January. Kind seems like you are just making stuff up.
Predatory? Wow man, that's nuts.
Go buy any car and check again in 6 months. The price will have dropped dramatically. You are lying if you think otherwise.
