Or want something more unique? How about a Polestar 3? A dealer in Colorado has a used 2025 Polestar 3 that had an original MSRP of $83,000. Just 244 miles has caused a drop of over $23,000 in value resulting in the dealer listing it for $59,960.

A reminder of just how bad EV deprecation can be. This is a 2025 Volvo EX40, which, if you recall, only recently went on sale in the US. This one is used and originally had an MSRP of $56,095. Just 4,130 miles later and you can pick this thing up for just $39,995.

That lack of basic financial understanding is why so many people are in the financial holes they're in with their cars.

Multi billion dollar media companies asking you to allow ads to read articles will never not be insane to me.

This thing is a beast. Used launch control and it hit 60 in just 2.9 seconds while pinning me to the seat with 1.5 gs. Legit supercar performance.

Jesus at first glance I legitimately thought this was an SCX at first glance.

Looks like a loaded Cadillac Escalade IQ is $171k. The curb weight for this thing is likely almost as absurd as the price.

It's literally the perfect vehicle. As fast as a supercar, not an SUV but with SUV room. I love it.

It's beautiful right? Audi calls it Valcona.

Baja. At least it's more functional than the xTreme.

They would have needed 5 of them in local fleets

Imagine if Lexus has given us an IS F Convertible. No one would have bought it of course but it would have been cool to have.

That's insane. I think I may have to write about this because it's not selling as it is. I think they've only sold 2700 so far this year.

Being a true car enthusiast means you can cross shop between two cars on totally opposite ends of the spectrum. Been racking my brain trying to choose between these two the last few days.

If this is true, I will not be buying a Hyundai Elantra N (I have bad knees. Don't judge me.)

You can already build and price on on their site. But from the looks of things, they won't be getting to dealers until October. This one is at a dealer near me.

My moms cousin used to just buy these things over and over until the M-Body switched to the K-Car based Y-Body. She bought 5th Avenues until they went out of production. The she drove LHS' until the 300 came out. And that's whats she's been driving since its intro. She's in her 90s now.

Lately I've been wondering where the hell all the Mazdaspeed ProtΓ©gΓ©s went.

Marques Brownlee saying he'd take a Vinfast VF8 or the original Tesla Roadster over the Fisker Ocean is actually hilarious and wild

Too bad rates are trash. Sorry but I'm not financing for 72-78 months just to say I'm driving an EV.

Dealers are going to screw this thing with markups. But we gotta get to a point where we're not counting on tax credits as a make or break deal for EVs.

Love to see someone out here actually rocking an Infiniti M30 with the top down.

$37k and 13k miles?! This is a perfect example of why I haven't bought a Elantra N yet. The market for them, especially here in Cali, sucks. Used ones cost more than new ones, the new ones that are left are still being marked up, and for some reason the '24s still haven't arrived on dealer lots.
