Agreed. In the past century, there have been lots of very shady, scummy, terrible dealers. Since the advent of internet reviews this has changed dramatically. The vast majority of dealers now want to get a customer in, out and satisfied as painlessly as possible, and make a little bit of money on the deal. But heaven…

I bet this thing would get more attention at a show than a 78 Corvette. Tons of people owned one or knew someone that did, and they won’t even remember that they haven’t seen one since Bush I was in office until you come cruising in, staticy AM blasting on the speaker.

Nothing says “pleasure driving” quite like a 1.4L ‘Vette!

I’m all for not-grey interiors, but that is... Something. Looks like some kind of cushy 70s sex chamber. I'm surprised there isn't more fake wood.

You’ve seen a ton since ‘99 I'm sure. I work for FCA too, but only since 2012. Most of my coworkers have decades in. That's a ton of change to have seen.

Eh. I have lots of experience working on them and driving them. Even when they’re all repaired, or brand new (my parents had a new ‘99 4x2 SD) they still ride and handle pretty poorly. They replaced that truck with a solid axle 4x4 SD and it rode and handled just as well.

How that suspension design was touted as an advantage in its early days and lasted well into the ‘00s is well beyond me.

Toyota owns a large chunk of Subaru that would probably keep that from working, although it would be interesting. Mazda I could see, since they were kicked out of Fords bed they haven’t been the same financially. Suzuki makes the most sense to me. Huge presence in Asia and India where FCA is weak, little presence in…

The SRT used a fixed spoiler though. The pop up was NA cars only

It has nothing to do with negotiating. In a lease, the customer pays the rent charge (calculated by the estimated depreciation amount for the time and miles agreed upon) and the money factor (interest rate). If the customer drives far fewer miles than she agreed to and paid for, the vehicle will be worth more than the…

I don’t see the ST becoming cheap, but I highly doubt it will hold value like a WRX. They have already depreciated enough that Autotrader is full of sub-$18k asking prices, even when they sold new for near WRX money ($25k base). The cheapest ‘13 WRX is $22k, and that car would’ve have a base price under $26k.

Won’t matter, as long as it has good brakes, exhaust, suspension, tires, lights, wipers and horn it will pass. I used to inspect rural mail route RHD Wranglers all the time.

How is the Mirage on here? Any well kept, running car is worth $3k, so at most it will only lose 75% of its original MSRP. I’m pretty sure some of the luxury cars will drop well below that as a percentage. Hell, they will lose more than the $9k the Mirage will appreciate in 20 years on the day they leave the lot.

First, I’ve never seen anything where Gen Y starts in the 70’s. Gen Y is 1980/1982 through the mid 90s. So first, let’s assume for ease of argument that births are distributed evenly each year between the real Gen Y of 1980 and 1995. Not perfect, but probably not ridiculously far off. That means there are at least 3…

You are almost definitely wrong. The residual on the lease was calculated with 36k miles on. Obviously, it is worth significantly more with. 1/3 of that. As such, she built equity that she will be entitled to. She can roll it into a new lease or take the money and run.

Your thoughts are not supported by data. Student loan debt has more than tripled inflation for the past 20 years. I received quite a few scholarships and my parents helped and I went to a state technical college and I still came out with over $40k in debt.

Can they not be turned off? My Ram has a setting screen in the radio that allows you to disable them. Though I have never seen the need, they work very well in that.

Wrong side of PA, but I went to school with the shop manager of Moore Performance and he owns an R32 as well.

Japan is really good at that when they try. Ive yet to drive a Skyline, but STI’s give the same odd feel. It’s just an economy sedan with a strange engine and AWD, but they are so easy to drive hard and so engaging that they're more fun to drive than cars with twice the power and price.

They 100% are Fox shocks.
