[quote=scaredyclassic]I was driving next to a Mercedes jeeplike SUV and I asked my wife too Google it for price …

156 to 175k? Jesus, that seemed high. I was thinking I’d be willing to go as high as 42k on it. No actually, fuck that, I’ll give you 37.5k. that’s it

The G class is not my thing. But to each of their own.

Cars are expensive today.
A nicely equipped Kia Stinger will cost $40k
A BMW 4 series starts around the mid $40ies with no options.

Toyota Rav4’s are in the $30s and Highlanders are touching $40ies
