Gotta get new wheels. Within 10 days. And it's the worst time in history to buy a new car.

Thinking SUV, but not a big one. Or small pickup. Suggestions, anyone?

This is the worst time to buy a new vehicle. If it was me I'd try to find a well kept 4x4 truck( 4x4s have better resale value)

Never owned a truck...but might consider.

It's a horrible time to buy new but also a horrible time to buy used.

Yeah I was thinking about selling my beater but figured the dollar is just gonna get worth less



At least buying used you don't lose the automatic 5k for just driving it off the lot

Completely hear that, sound logic. My last car was used. Will be going new this time.

What's the budget? I've had good luck with my Yukon Denali. But a new one gets pretty pricey.

I'm single and a hermit, so that's more than I need. And I work from home so doesn't make sense to spend too much. Target budget 28-35k.

Hadn't even considered GMC, I'll see what they offer and reviews. Thnx.

Yeah I've got kids so an SUV that size was kind of needed. I couldn't stomach a minivan.

I’ve driven Lincoln for several years and my last one is a Corsair. This is the smallest of the SUVs and the smallest of I have driven for a long while but I like it.

I am so sorry you have a 10 day deadline to get a vehicle.

But then again, how the fuck do you put yourself in that kind of situation?

Funny how the Lincoln brand has changed.

Chrysler used to be the best back in the day.

Are your seats made of rich Corinthian Leather?

Simple. My previous set of wheels completely died.

Last vehicle purchase was a used Infiniti and the damn thing wouldn't die. Almost wanted it to die so I could get something new. Kept it five years longer than I thought I would. But when it died...of course it did so when new vehicles were priced 10-20% over MSRP.

The deadline is self-imposed. Not do-or-die. I just want to stop bleeding cash on rental.

Got it.

If your big deal is a car fast, I guess go to Carmax or online at Carvana.

I have never purchased a vehicle that way, so I cannot give you any advice right there.

That Corsair has gorgeous lines. That's the type of thing I'm looking for. Thnx.

Maybe they are. They are leather and gorgeous. Corinthian?

I’d love to pimp out in that mf’er and pull up to a class reunion.

I bought a 1970 Camaro today if that makes anyone feel better.
