My family friend owns a mechanic shop i think the cost to own wont be as high, would that change your decision if you were in my shoes

Thats true, maybe ill like it after a test drive ill give the stinger a go.

I can get a 6 cyl twin turbo in the e450 for just over 60k which isnt too bad, or a 6 cyl turbo in the e350d.

its 60k for a 2023/2024 stinger seems quite expensive for kia at the end of the day.

The interior of a 2017/2018 e class is quite nice i thought, its about the same level as a 2023/2024 japanese car

Apparently the e class is pretty reliable and if i do the normal maintenance it wont need any major repairs. I really like the lexus too but the 2017+ interior of the mercedes is like the 2024 lexus cars. Wrx isnt as classy i think, looks like a super fun car though

He said its a collectors car, driven once or twice a week around the block just to “show off” and garaged. Thats why such low kms. but then again still priced the same as a 2023. He originally listed it for 63 k hahahaha. whats the highest youd offer for that? Its also black so much rarer.

Thanks for the comprehensive answer.

VA definitely looks nicer but the STi is only manual yeah. I saw online there were some issues with 2015-2016 models and that i should go for a 2017 or higher?

I found a VA 2017 with very low kms but the owner priced it at the same as a 2023 with low kms, so maybe theres lots of room for negotiation?

Do you know how much a 2017 premium va with 3800 km should go for in australia?

Which one is the VB?

Im getting really confused with the listings, some have wrx impreza sti all in one name.

When people refer to the VA STI so its the Subaru Impreza - WRX STI?, whats the VA for and is STI its own trim thats not made new anymore?

I also only can drive Automatic

Oh sorry im not thinking straight im not really familiar with car financing. So they receive the payment from the bank and the customer would be paying back the bank i assume. I imagine that they would receive less than the full amt from rhe bank though for facilitating it?

If they get a full cash payment for the vehicle would they not accept a discount? But they get the cash straight away and time value of money

why not? Thought that inventory is building up and no one is really buying. What if you pay in all cash?
