Are you ashamed of the vehicle you daily?

I drive a base model 2 wheel drive white 4 cylinder '23 Tacoma (pic related). I've always wanted a cheap and reliable truck that would last me for a decade or two. Paid MSRP with no markup. I sink down on my seat each time TRD trim or any other upper trim trucks line up next to me at a stop light.

the only thing you did wrong was you didnt buy the v6 and 4x4 option.

But your truck should last you more or less forever. The 4cyl engines are some of the most reliable engines ever made, they just arent popular because they are low on power. Enjoy your 1685lb payload capacity

I drive a rusty POS 2001 VW T4 van I bought four roughly $900 four years ago.

I originally bought it because I was moving 900km and wanted it to last throughout the move.

Best car I ever bought. I've spent around $2000 more in the shop since then but I've also managed to rent it out through an app and earn back around $800.

I've also used it to move twice more and have helped out my dad moving as well as a couple of friends. A van is practical as fuck and it will suck going back to anything else.

They must be getting zero traffic and everyone except DC knows the economy is garbage, especially with the Fed boosting interest rates up to fight the inflation the Fed created and these dealers are contributing to.

Anyway, MSRP includes money for the dealership on a sale. They buy at a book value from the automaker, there used to be a resource to find these values yourself too. Big sale events to clear inventory usually dropped prices down closer to this book value to get shit off the lots.
Depending on the financing arrangement, they are also getting a portion of the interest too.
Some places selling used also finance in-house and basically just tag on a fee to the msrp that you're paying as "interest" but it's hard to notice when they only show you the monthly payment.

They all do, it's that seemingly uncool car that's actually really nice to own and use. People shit on these things until they actually use it.

On the other hand, you can probably get away with anything in a minivan. Hollywood has yet to really employ a minivan for movie theatrics, it doesn't fit the image unless it's got limo tint and eight feds piled into it.

>I had a used accord for a bit. everyone respected it.
John 12:49 - For I did not speak of my own Accord...

>I now have a model 3. everyone seem to assume my parents bought it or i have crypto money.
Unfortunately you'll get that perception unless you're 50+ years old. There is some basis in truth for that, it's usually Silicon Valley tech money, trust fund money, or some form of nouveau riche that likes to show off in these.

It reminds me when being "green and environmentally friendly" was popular, all the rich assholes bought Priuses and drove like assholes in them, so Priuses got shat on for a while.

The thing is salesmen are desperate to sell. You're more powerful then they are. I think I could've done even better. I should have talked about how the SOnata across the street is better. I should have mentioned that sunroofs leak. Overall I would tell you to complain and pretend you don't even want the car. But obviously don't be an asshole don't insult them just be objective.

I did the same thing in toyota.
Camry hybrid MSRP listed 32k. He wanted 37k.
I told him the website shows MSRP thats why i came here why are you not giving me MSRP?

he started making some bs about how tomorrow someone will take for 37k, but he will do 34-35k. "lets do some business".
I told him 32k is my number. he told me he can NOT do 32k.

I told him, the tesla showroom is next door, im getting 32k altogether after tax rebates if i go with them. match me 32k or i walk. he panicked "OK we will do 32k but you have to buy today!". 
I told him because he lied to me about not being able to sell 32k before my new number is 31k. He said he cant do that, again i said aite im walking, he asked me to wait and tried to get the manager as if that would change my mind. manager came and just told me he wont sell less than 32k because he is gonna lose money so i just left and got a tesla.

I forgot to include the nerve of this dealer to offer me a 29k USED 2019 corolla as a compromise. toyota needs to go D2C. fuck the dealers.
