Thomas and James have PURCHASED two ‘80s hatchbacks - the 1986 Toyota Corolla AE86 and the 1984 Volkswagen Rabbit GTI. James bought his Sprinter Trueno sight-unseen and promptly decked it out in full Initial D livery, as one does. Thomas spent only a few moments with his stock Mk1 GTI before shipping it off for adventure. A 1000 mile road trip across the desert lies before them. In their journey to reach enlightenment, the cars will likely be pushed to their limits. Let’s see what two classic ‘80s hot hatchbacks can do! We hope you enjoy the first ever episode of the Throttle House Adventure Series.

#ae86 #roadtrip #gti

The 2022 Ford GT (US $660,845 when purchased) is so much more than a pretty face designed in a wind tunnel. It has a twin turbo V6 with 660 horsepower, lots of weight saving carbon fibre, and a rapidly-deploying suspension drop system along with an active rear wing that is as functional as it is dramatic. But how does it stack up against a 2023 Corvette C8 Z06 ($164,505 as specced in the US, $189,027 in Canada) which is but a fraction of the cost and has a high-revving naturally aspirated V8? Thomas and James put these two marvels of American engineering to the test. We hope you enjoy the episode! Thanks for watching. SUBSCRIBE!

Special thanks to Mark and Deanna for letting us feature the car that dreams are made of. Find Mark on IG: PilotMarkyGT and on YT: PilotMarky

Also thank you to Ferrari Joe, for being an all-around legend who has the power to make an already special film, extra…speciale.

And to @JordanMaron , who joined us with his 2018 Ford GT

#Corvette #Ford #Ferrari

The 2023 Corvette C8 Z06 ($106,000 in the US, $128,000 starting in Canada) aspires to achieve a formidable goal: to slay supercar titans and crush its competition for a fraction of the cost. The mad scientists at Corvette say they designed it to have both the soul of a Ferrari 458 and the clinical speed of a Porsche GT2 RS. An extremely bold claim.

670 horsepower. 8600 rpm redline. This is the most powerful naturally aspirated V8 in any production car ever. Will it be able to live up to its mighty expectations? Thomas and James aim to find out. We hope you enjoy the episode. Thanks for watching! SUBSCRIBE!

#Z06 #Corvette #Jorts

The 2022 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 ($116,890 in Canada, ~$85,145 in the US) is the latest and most ridiculous off-roader from Stellantis. It’s powered by a beastly 6.4 L V8 HEMI, with 470 horsepower and an exhaust system to match its large-and-in-charge nature. But if sounds and speed aren’t enough to make you giggle, then perhaps the upgraded 35 inch tires and FOX suspension system are more your thing. Although it does have some pretty tough competition in this segment - namely the Bronco Raptor. Thomas and James spend some time with the new Wrangler Rubicon 392 and dive into what it’s all about. We hope you enjoy the episode. Subscribe!!

With about 10 days left in the year, we have run out of places to park cars as new car inventory continues to arrive from Mercedes-Benz. That means that the lowest hanging fruit, which would be our demo vehicles that we use as service loaners or cars that have been driven by managers, are priced as aggressively as I've seen in 5 years.

Lease payments are extremely compelling as I will point out with 5 real examples in this video. Keep in mind these deals are being worked with taxes and fee's local to North Olmsted, Ohio.

If you have been waiting for prices to come down or need an exit strategy from a car with negative equity, these are the best opportunities we've had in a long time.

Models in our demo mix include CLA, GLA, GLB, C-Class, GLE, GLS, EQB, EQE, EQS, and more!

Go Behind the Scenes in a Mercedes-Benz dealership with me. In this call I am talking to a long time repeat client of the store who is interested in our suddenly available 2025 G63. The problem? He feels he is not getting fair value for his 2024 G63 with nearly 7,000 miles. Can we talk through it or will he end up waiting for the custom build he is expecting over the summer?

In this exclusive behind-the-scenes video, we're exploring a common dilemma luxury car buyers face: paying cash versus choosing a single-pay lease. Join us as we discuss with a salesperson the case of a client considering these two purchasing options and uncover the significant savings and benefits of each method.

We'll detail how a single-pay lease, where the entire lease amount is paid upfront, can secure you a substantially reduced lease rate and qualify you for exclusive incentives—such as a $7,500 rebate available only on leased electric and plug in hybrid vehicles. Discover how strategic financial decisions can maximize your savings while still giving you the flexibility of leasing.

Go inside the sales manager's office and witness firsthand how these complex deals are structured, negotiated, and finalized. Plus, gain insights into trade appraisal strategies, dealership decision-making processes, and expert advice for making the best financial choices when buying or leasing a luxury vehicle.

If you're passionate about automotive industry insights, dealership strategies, trade appraisals, and professional car-buying advice, this video is essential viewing.

Cash purchase vs. Single-pay lease

Benefits and savings of single-pay leases

Capturing lease-only incentives ($7,500 rebate) for EV's and Plug In Hybrids

This client just bought a Hyundai Tucson and wants to trade it for a new Mercedes GLC.

Trading people out of parasitically brand new cars rarely goes the way they want it to.
