Here's Why You Shouldn't Buy A Car With Every Option - Jalopnik
Today I’ve decided to take a break from my standard routine of boldfaced lies and questionable half-truths to bring you a legitimate piece of consumer advice: you shouldn’t buy a car with every possible option. “BUT DOUG,” you’re thinking, as you’re sitting there in your office, staring at a plastic fern. “I LOVE THE FACT THAT MY NEW HYUNDAI SANTA FE HAS A HEATED GAUGE CLUSTER AND A BUILT-IN FIREPLACE AND A THIRD ROW SAUNA. And I’m the one who’s responsible for the boldfaced lies and questionable half-truths. But even if you don’t have a Santa Fe sauna, we all know that getting a car with “every option” is usually a point of pride. To begin, we must remember that a car with “every option” is always more expensive than a standard model. And sometimes it isn’t a normal amount more expensive. Of course, many people know that luxury cars can become very expensive with options – but they aren’t the only culprit. Mainstream cars can also become wildly. For proof, I bring you to the configurator for the all-new Chrysler 200 , which now has swoopy styling to make it easier to find in the rental car parking lot. Source: jalopnik.com
