I can’t wait to see one with the bumper hanging halfway off and hood held down with duct tape blasting between lanes on the highway at 90mph on two space- saver spares.

Yeah, it’s not like unibody vehicles. The swap would be $5000 at most labor included, and they are getting a lot more than that in negative press from it.

This is what you get when the govt can’t control what you see.

I assumed that was the case but never had a mortgage, and I never really paid all that much attention to the car payment since it was on auto draft lol. Only reason I noticed is they still sent out the little payment coupon books

Michelle Yeoh though!

I suspect that they might have a prepayment clause not allowing you to pay more than the regular payment. there are sometimes clauses in a mortgage imposing a prepayment penalty because at the end of the day over the course of a 30 year mortgage, which is the norm, you are paying typically twice what the actual initial…

The car retains its factory-fitted lights and signals

So true! Cadillac’s with the moving headlights and older Acura SUV headlights are pricey too.

That means he grew up in a double-wide not a single.

The XLR was outrageous when new but is pretty close to normal now for any luxury car. Headlights on my 2018 GX are something like $1100 each, but the 2020+ facelift cars are like $2600 per headlight to replace. And that’s on a Toyota product.

“Comes from money,” but doesn’t have a card?

Corporations are people too*.

This, like maybe there would be a way to set an maximum amount of interest over the course of the loan, but then that would kind of make the actual interest rate not mean a whole lot. It would be similar to something called a Islamic Sharia Complaint Loan that you sometimes see in real estate, that’s my area of…

Park on street for now, work a little harder and pick this bad boy up

For a dealer with an owner that donated $15 million to a school, I doubt they got insurance for this. It’s not ownership of a free high-end car, it’s a two year lease of what I would assume is a pretty entry-level car (given it’s for a college kid). The value of the prize was probably $10-15k, not nothing but an…

Some years ago, a local Lincoln-Mercury dealer did a “Hole-in-One win a car” at a local charity tournament. He purchased insurance via his agent. The cost of such insurance is based on a “rating” of the hole and the odds of a hole-in-one. The insurance agent seeing the hole had a really tough rating, chose to not file…

I do not know anything about it but I would not think that a dealer would even insure something as small as a 2 year lease. Especially a dealership of this size that donated 15 mill.

There’s no other answer. Shortest slideshow in Jalopnik history. 

1987 Mercedes-Benz AMG Hammer

Literally every event. It’s usually pretty cheap and is part of the sponsorship you put up as a business in buying the signs and other stuff.
