Same with my Subaru Forester! My car got totaled so I needed a new one. Used Forster that were 2-3 years old with 30k miles were selling for 24-26k with loan interest rate of 1.9 or so. I ended up by a brand new Forster xt for 28k with 0 interest loan from Subaru. Only cost me 2k more to get brand new car with full warranty vs a car that was 3 years old. Made back the difference in interest rate. I took a 5 year loan because why not no interest. I was never underwater on the car as put decent amount down.

My 2019 Honda Accord LX got totaled from the Ida flooding, it had 16k miles on it, I paid $22K.

Looking at cars now I’m seeing 2109 LX’s with 30K mikes selling for $26-28K it’s crazy.

Fairly annoyed they discontinued the Forester XT. Only reason I bought a used one.

I like it. I kinda wish I got the touring for eyesight for adaptive cruise control. But it came with leather and I was just not going to deal with leather. Though the outback XT is pretty good as it is 2.4 ascent engine so no premium.

I got the touring and it’s definitely nice. The problem is that you can’t replace the head unit since the Harmon Kardon speaker system needs an extra amplifier. That means I don’t have CarPlay. Makes me sad.

The ACC is a bit spiky. Could use some easing. But with everything on it’s not too bad in rush hour traffic when I don’t feel like taking the motorcycle out. Feet on the floor and it takes care of everything.
