I don’t mod my cars, so the added horsepower is meaningful to me. I’ve also heard a review claim the upgrade to the audio system is nontrivial. Again, meaningful.
I owned a 2020 briefly, and I had no complaints when it wasn’t in the shop (headlight malfunction+recall turned to lemon). Anyhow...
My thoughts are that his dad probably owns the dealership or something. Sure, what we see in the video is entirely benign but shame on us for assuming we’ve been shown everything.
My lack of respect stems from the absolute banality of the review. There are already dozens that cover the same and...
You’ve got it.
So basically the older guy on the channel used to run a dealership. He says that MDS is how they manage inventory. It’s computed based on the previous 45 days of sales. They generally like to keep ~90 days of inventory on hand according to him (or at least know they’ve got stuff...
Absolutely not okay. The dealer “has to drive it” to put gas in the car. Other than that I have every right and expectation that it has been kept free of idiots. What are the chances there’s damage? I’ve literally never gotten a car back from service without scuffs on my steering wheel. You...

5. Always. They’re still finding issues, read the issue and recalls sub forum.
I agree with your approach, but don’t be so quick to assume that about sales numbers.
The Supra has a Market Day’s Supply of only 32...
To put that in context, the C8 is 25 and the Mustang is 62. Higher is better and means more negotiation is possible. The Acura RLX was 242 prior to June...
At the 12:30 mark in this video, we learn that the Supra has a 32 day MDS. That’s not high...
Since the score is computed using the last 45 days of sales and they’ve been blowing them out, this should increase, but it will be interesting to see how this impacts negotiating a good deal.
In related news, the father/son team of the YouTube channel “Your Auto Advocate” are preparing to launch a US database showing MDS (market day supply) for all cars by zip code. It will also show how long cars have been on the lot.
They also plan to add a scale to express the meaning of the...
Does it bother anyone else that some dealer just fouled a perfectly good 2021 Supra some one could have bought (me?) by letting this wannabe film his “review” to add to the dogpile?
EDIT
I just got (almost) to the end and heard him say that the car he’s driving is pre purchased by a customer...
My dealer only had 3 en route back in August of last year but they agreed to sell me my 2020 at MSRP. Give it another month...
I’m definitely getting a 2021 but waiting as long as I can to avoid this sort of thing.
I doubt it will be marked up in August.
I made my deal last August for MSRP (as did many others). I’m in the market for a 2021 too (replacing my lemon) so definitely watching this...
