dilemma on which car to buy

[imhott]

paatha honda sedan nundi suv ki move adamani shop chestunna. famiy of 4 with 2 pilla bachas. Narrowed down on crv hybrid, sportage hybrid, and also optionally Lexus RX350h. Crv ki 1-2 month wait period, sportage ki about 3 months undi, Lexus ki 1-2 months wait period. Need your inputs to help taking a decision. Pros and cons for these are here.

Honda (sport touring: seller okay for MSRP rate of $40K)

+ reliability, efficiency, high resale value, roomy, heated/ventilated seats, pretty silent cabin

- boring design for 2023, infotainment small screen, no panoromic moonroof, lacks few tech features that are standard in other cars

 

Kia ( EX trim, seller quoting 20% above MSRP of $32K, so total about $40K, sx-presitge trim is MSRP about $38K)

+ liked the trendy design and interiors, way ahead in infotainment, panaromic moonroof, fun to ride, 10 year warranty

- high price, extended wait period, lower resale value than Honda.

 

Ivi kakunda, also test drove and liked Lexus RX350 hybrid, emanna unda aa car seller is asking for MSRP rate of $55K.

+ luxury segment, high reliability and high resale value, sporty design, powerful engine

- expensive than the other two, very fast selling inventory

 

Discussing with a local credit union for auto loan that is quoting 3.99% APR, dealer vallu quoting above 7% which is average in the market.

Wife prefers CRV, I like either Kia or Lexus (can look for leasing option given financing is expensive than other two). 

 

Any feedback from who got these cars recently or any inputs would be of help.

go for Tesla

ippudu desi batch antha only tesla buying

[megadheera]

Tesla kakunda Inni cars unnaya bayata…

[astalavistaa]

CRV baaga kontunnaaru. RAV4 consider cheyaledaa?

[imhott]

Tesla ki oka dandam 🙏.

Rav4 nachaledu assalu

[phatposts]

Nee list lo aithe RX350h undoubtedly. If used car is OK for you, check those too. Lexus cars drive very well up to 200K. 

2 small kids antunnav kabatti - hybrid sacrifice chesta ante 350L kooda think cheyyi. Naam ke vaaste 3rd row kaani sometimes local trips ki use avvachu.

Hyundai Santa Fe;  Subaru Outback/Forrester kuda chudalsindi 

Luxury ante .. u can try Volvo xc60.. same 53-57k ki ostundi

Buy another small EV or keep the old car. 2 cars vaadali ... kids koncham peddaga aynaa .... memu pomu venakaalaki antaru no ?

[perugu_vada]

Just don’t stick to Toyota and Honda always

check Chevy equinox too .. extended warranty which costs like 3000 or so ki .. so called issues with Chevy or Ford can also be covered .. with 2-kids main criteria is safety (as ur wife will also drive it) and plenty of leg room in 2nd room 

[Thokkalee]

Don’t go for Kia and Hyundai.. especially with these high interest rates.. 

lease is another option depending on where you live.. monthly 200-400 ki vastayi nice cars..

Time undi ante wait for Toyota Grand highlander hybrid or Lexus TX hybrid
