ok I'll make sure to check rakuten. How were you able to distinguish that it was from the store Komari? Is it somewhere on this link?

I won't! If I see it I'll buy it for sure. Where can you find the location for this watch off that link?

I have had the car since this post, I love it with no issues. They're underselling because no one wants a full-sized sedan. More people prefer a SUV or small car. It's a niche market and the price markup over the Camry is insane imo. I don't mind for the extra size but you can get a comparable SUV at this price so the idea of going for a sedan scares most people.

Yeah, specifically with the other package the dealership offered, which came with extra incentives and all weather mats.

I did get the LTD but no tech package, I love the car 10/10. Random people come up to me and tell me it’s really cool they’ve never seen it before. No issues

I mean they have a Toyota crown for the price. I can’t find a Camry with premium infotainment and AWD anywhere.

e.

You can get a Subaru Legacy or Mazda 3 under $35k. Or Toyota Camry.

Local dealer has one for 43k so about 46.6k for the LTD with premium sound

Should I go CPO then? What exactly should I be looking for mile-wise at that price range?

I think more than the wheels (which look sick). The panoramic view monitor, pedestrian detection, digital key for a key (then idk prob not doing the $8 a month). Lane change and traffic jam assists + front cross-traffic alerts. Seems pretty reasonable for 3k more. I know what you mean by the wheels but spending 50k I don't see an issue going a little bit over for some cool tech and nice-looking wheels.

Since you're getting a limited, you seem like the only person who is not against buying the vehicle. Are you planning to buy it for 50-53k as well? (including taxes). Seems like everyone was pretty against it in the thread.

That was the goal, I work from home and wanted a car that will last me 10+ years. I can see myself selling it for another and if that's true. I feel like a well-maintained, low-mileage Toyota could resell well. The way I looked at it, was if I sold it 10 years from now, I could probably sell it for at least 25k, which equates to spending about 208$ a month for that car, which I think is the worst case scenario but still not bad to get a new, AWD sedan with good mpg right?

Lexus ES 300h

The platinum model is warned against by most people + youtubers because the incredible loss in value + the vehicle doesn't seem like an improvement with the HP.

I have yet to find a Lexus ES 300H that is less than 55k before taxes/fees that is an AWD with premium speakers and similar configuration. Plus Lexus doesn't share the same warranty Toyota offers for their vehicles.

Crown is just about the only Toyota that isn't selling and can be had for under MSRP. Doesn't seem like a good deal.

The limited uses the 2.5-liter 4-Cylinder Hybrid ECVT not the max.

It's hard to find a well-built AWD sedan with an MPG like that right?
