Need New DD...~15k

We had no idea this was happening. Recently there was an article in a car magazine stating that this was going to happen. Suzuki responded stating it wasn't true. As far as we knew, until this announcement they were planning to stick around.

Yea, explains why they were offering really good financing options etc.

Reminds me of when I bought my evo. I got the evo at like 3k cash back and 2.9% APR (before recession really, just before) and I was like F YEA! Then 1 week later, 0% and more cash back offered. I was pissed at the dealer and I hadn't paid any of the loan yet but I couldn't get it shifted to 0%, sucked lol.

This is typical Murlo car luck, I have grown accustomed to it.

But you are right and that is the way I think of it. I bought this car to last me for as long as the car still works really. Until stuff starts falling apart I am keeping it. Its a great car still, comfy and has AWD for winters. It's really a perfect DD for me and I am still happy with the deal.

Yes, warranties are still in tact and parts will still be made as they sell cars everywhere else still as far as I know. Might be harder to get work done or get parts but not the end of the world.

The only deal is resale value. I am sure it took a $1500 hit today, maybe more, who knows. But I got a great deal, so it still doesn't bother me too much.

I like to still think I have a collector item now, they aren't being made any more

Well, kinda sucks that even your own company lies to its dealers. I doubt this was a surprise to the company, they were planning it for a long time I am sure. It makes sense why they had 72mo @ 0% now. Trying to clear inventory. But still not a bad deal for those buying. I am not sure if that would've changed my mind or not on the car, I don't think it would've, but I am sure I could've gotten a bit more money off as now these will be harder to sell.

Oh well, doesn't all the sudden make the car any different, still solid.
