I refer to that as a mortgage...
If I were to pull the trigger on a newer car, it would likely be a Mazda. Personally, I feel they're underrated. I hope you have many happy miles with it. Does your Carbon Edition sport the red seats, per chance?

It does, I quiet like them, They are pretty comfortable too and seem like they will hold up well, The leather feels thicker than other leather seats I have had experience in. The red is a nice contrast to an otherwise all black interior, Reminds me of older ford pickups where interior options were Red or Blue.
That looks very sharp! I do quite like the look of the Rav-4, other than the oddities we saw with the one we test drove, I think we could have been happy with one.
Not to derail this thread, but I agree with your opinion on extended warranties. I had a TV go bad under standard warranty. They said the nearest service center was 3 hours away. If I didn't take it there, I would have to pay there service tech travel time, and if the problem was not considered a warranty claim, I had to pay $$$$$$.
Most of the time they are not worth it, especially for appliances. In many cases the service fee that will be charged exceeds the value of the warranty. Always read the fine print, service agreements, and stipulations around extended warranties. There are rare times when they do pay for themselves. My father bought a $1700 extended warranty in 2022 on his 2020 Grand Cherokee Trailhawk. The Jeep had 30k when he bought it, and now it has 90k miles. Last week he had a part in the air suspension fail, which was covered under the extended warranty. The part replacement without the warranty would've been over 3 grand. He tends to keep his vehicles a long time though, and this is a rare case, but with modern vehicle complexity sometimes it can actually make sense.
Yep. I generally *HATE* extended warranties - BUT - in 2014 when I bought the Fiat, I paid something like $2,800 for the FCA "forever" extended warranty - after all it *is* a FIAT. Its paid out about $4,000 thus far.
Close. It's the Mazda CX-50 hybrid and Toyota Rav4 hybrid that share the same powertrain. Toyota and Mazda entered an agreement and share a manufacturing facility in Huntsville Alabama. It's a smart move by Mazda as Toyota has really refined their hybrids over the years.

Took the Camrys spot few years ago, and finally beat the Ford F series
Dont know all the details, so cant confirm deal or not
No need to waste $$ on warranty BS
Not everyone is in the same income bracket
If you are happy and comfortable, then good
Plenty are out there overfinancing their lifestyles
Financing 100K brodozers that depreciate insanely and fail
Just financing $15K isnt alot, Im sure youre fine
These vehicles have a solid reputation

F-series isnt a vehicle
Its a LINE of vehicles like F-150, F-250, F- 350
Toyotas RAV4 is the #1 individual seller

I own an F150 also but this has always been Fords obfuscation tactic , and GM light duty trucks outsell the F150 annually when combined
