That's on the consumer. A 500 score tells me he doesn't make the greatest financial decisions. Sounds like the laydown of the century, the dealer presented a full pop pencil and he said yes. How can you blame the dealer for asking for all the money? What, we're some kind of charity now, like I don't have the right to…

I had a white 86 CRX Si I used to get 35 with a backroad thrashing or two in a 240 mile trip to the vaca house.

I know for a fact that MadBum drives a much bigger truck, the Colorado might fit in the bed even.

Fortunately, he has no rear trailing arms to weld back together. F150s hold their value better too. 6k E46 = fairly well sorted mid mileage car good for another 100k, 6k F150 = beat to shit 200k miler good for another 100k if maintained from the start.

Most franchised dealers avoid these tactics, it can hurt CSI. The prevalence of yelp and the like also curb this on used cars. I've only been in the business three years, but only Yo-Yo is a familiar term, and my dealer won't do that. If we don't have a deal bought, we're pretty damn certain we can get it bought…

I had the Pontiac Twin of this car, an 87 Grand Prix w/ T-tops, I miss my T-tops, they should bring those back.

HEY! My E30 has 216k on it and I rev the nuts off it daily! Sure, I've spent 6k on parts, but they were worn due to age (mostly suspension bits). I did see one at the junkyard with 300k+ on the odo, turns out headgasket failure likely put it there, there was coolant remnants in the oil pan I pulled.

This is why you build out an XL with the Sport Appearance package. My F150 was $34,000 before rebates and discounts.

Why are you assuming this person is of color, ghetto is ghetto.

If you're ever in California and need to buy a Fiesta ST, hit me up!

Meh, if your speakers dry up, not only your engine noise, but your music will suck, so I see them getting replaced anyway. Plus, it's as easy as a tech saying "yeah, you've got a blown speaker, active noise control is sounding funny, we'll replace that for you"

You haven't driven one have you? I just spent 4 hours in two of these EcoBoost Mustangs, the insulation is great, it's a massive improvement over the outgoing model. I like that it's quiet on the highway at 70mph, but you can hear the throttle when you mash it!

Needs a Catalyst at less than 100k? Sounds like another issue that needs to be dealt with.

Transmission, specifically the DSP6 Dual Clutch Automated Manual. Ford just extended the warranty to 100k on these models. The manual is solid though, the Focus is a proven car with the 5spd manual.

Calling Indian folks Patels is pretty common in the car business, unfortunate, but common.

Canadians = black folks

4.) What Car Should I Buy If I Sunburn Like Crazy And Hate Eating My Hair, But Still Want Cheap RWD Fun?

Ford used to make something like this: The Escape Hybrid. Ford should get their shit together on this, I bet they will lose countless dollars to Toyota if they don't re-create a small SUV/Crossover Hybrid.

Employee discount (A, D, and Z plan) is typically better than anything you or I could negotiate, and usually qualifies for all the rebates, and sometimes more from Ford. I've done only a handful of Net-net losers for REAAAAALLY old stock cars, I'm talking 400+ day old units, and even then it's about what Employee…

3. Just politely tell them you have taken delivery of a car from another dealer and ask them to remove your information from their contact list
