Tell us what we should be driving then?  You have the answers!  Wow.

Jalopnik truck comments are never not consistently useless.

I’m reading the list of things this A$$hat has done and it sounds like HE is the problem and not the “unsanctioned gathering.” My 60 year old mother drives 80 on the daily and hasn’t rolled her sloppy suspension SUV, so perhaps this guy just needs to be taken out of general population into a nice cell where he can…

...Because it was a tribute to the original car. Why does everything need to be a competition or a troll? Why can’t dodge just build a car in honor of a dude with an awesome story?

Oh no I guess they will fail to sell all 300 of them because of their “classic marketing mistake”. Probably helps to read articles before you spout nonsense in the comments.

Did you bother reading the article or just spout off nonsense. It’s named after a legendary street racer in Detroit that was known as the Black Ghost because he would race and then disappear because he locked the car away all week. It was a unique car thanks to its features and the mystique added from the story. It…

And replace them with what? Tesla vaporware? I understand that there are companies working in this electric truck space and making charging more efficient... But this timeline seems really aggressive. Honestly if this were feasible nationwide… I’d be 100% on board just so I don’t have to hear Jake brakes non stop. I…

Being a 22-year-old car from Pennsylvania, this thing has undoubtedly seen a LOT of road salt, unless somebody inexplicably bought a barebones Cherokee to keep as a garage queen.

Needs the 4.0 and a more thorough understanding of what the rust is looking like.

I’d need to know more about what the seller means by rust treatment. Spraying bed liner onto already rusting metal doesn’t fix anything. It’s a massive no dice if you push on the coated underbody with a pencil and hear crackling noises. 

I would qualify that - a cheap Mercedes that hasn’t been maintained properly. My neighbor recently sold his 2000 E320 - a 1 or 2 owner car. For $3,000.

All the newer cheap ones are automatics for a reason, none of the manual ones are cheap. Ford’s stupid dry clutch dual-clutch transmission constantly breaks on these and basically makes the dual-clutch models worthless because you’ll be constantly putting in a new transmission forever. 

No absolute steals. If someone is blissfully unaware of the market is about the only situation you will find a “steal”. 

Does it run?  Because if it runs it is worth more than $300.

Yeah, I have an 03 and while it’s not a DCT, it’s eaten it’s fair share. Original, warranty, junkyard, and Aamco. Now the housing leaks because of a crack but it still works. I’ve heard they extended the warranties on the DCT’s though.

Friend of mine bought one of those. He uses it to haul his boat. Shit tons of power. But man does it drink gas.

The big, the brawny, the Toyota Sequoia - It’s a bigger Land Cruiser for half, no a third of the price. They tend to have nearly 300k miles, but for around $10k you can find them with just over 120k. I see 3 right now. Same 4.7 V8 as the LX470 and Land Cruiser, same terrible mileage...

Well. I have a W210 2000 Mercedes E430. I recently came into another car and didn’t need 3 but like driving the E430 so much decided to keep it, It is great to drive, gets good mileage (have gotten 27 on the highway, usually ~20 in town), and has plenty of power.

Before all of this silliness started I thought it was…

Steals, you say? Well, just about any Kia made before 2022. Price? A screwdriver and a USB cable.

C5 Corvette. They might have a little bit further to go before they bottom out on depreciation, but probably the cheapest reliable performance you can get. Also, I said this in another post, but I love that it’s retroactively become a middle finger to overly aggressive and angular designs.
