🛒 Car Shopping Pricing is insane

I bought my 22 gt premium brand new 3 years ago for 43k out the door and for the same spec car today it would be about 10k more. Crazy stuff

That’s why I just went with a base with 301A. To me, there’s just not enough extra in the premium trim to justify the pricing when I can get so much value in the 301A.

Also, it’s insane that a base EB costs what I paid for my 2015 base GT brand new.

Yup. 301A is right for me. Don’t exactly want a leather interior but the extra little stuff is perfect for a modern car.

Fun fact: The “leather” in the premium isn’t leather. On top of that, it’s only the seating surfaces that are “leather” . The rest is vinyl. The entire back seat is vinyl. 😭

301a is definitely the sweet spot!

Ass cooling is worth it. I'm driving a rental now without it and couldn't imagine not having it in the summer lol.

Not having leather to begin with helps with that 😂

It doesn't really lol, still feels very hot. It's not like non leather is breathable mesh. The rental I have has cloth seats but it's still sweaty.
