Former 2011 hatch owner....yes

That just slowly got sadder and sadder.....but then Hilux!

I have always wanted a TVR so badly, but I am not a wrencher myself and feel like it would be a nightmare/money pit to have to have someone else work on it. 

It was always interesting to show payments to a customer who was rolling negative for a 3rd or 4th time in a row and having to explain to them that they are still technically paying off the difference from 3 trade-ins ago.

Webasto also makes bunk heaters for tractor trailers. Any long haul guy could have told Ford that anything made by them will be utter trash. 

Grab two while you’re there please

This is just a Lexus CT, show us the real thing

Super Duties don’t ride well unless you have payload in the bed. The are sprung extra tight compared to a normal truck.

WOOSH

Take your good/bad pun points and leave this place 

After reading the stat that motorcycles represent 1% of vehicles on the road but 20% of fatalities, I lost any desire I had to own one. 

It was a Porsche though

I’ve worked with “old school” guys who think that Vauto is full of shit and overprices everything. I have also worked with “new age” used car managers that just blindly accept Vauto with minimal critical analysis. None seem to be able to balance the two

This is the correct take. Used vehicles historically were more profitable than new, because you could set your prices how you saw fit, but the introduction of the internet and the informed buyer means that the margin between trade-in/wholesale and retail value is shrinking.

It’s the owner of the dealership selling their personal vehicles. Happens all the time. The Kia dealership I was at briefly had a Corvette, a Maserati GT and an Escalade for sale because they were the owners cars, and everything is for sale.

Well my last name is Mark, so a fair number of Lincolns, and then all the models who’s generations are referred to that way, ie VW’s and Supras

Rivian - possibly since the first time I read about them and saw their product I had a feeling they were going to become a real competitor in the market. 

The scary thing is these things usually go for the same or shorter terms than cars, so you get guys thinking they can get 10 year financing and a $1k/month payment and then you reveal that unless they can do $3,500/month for the next 4 years they’re boned

Used high-end truck salesperson here. One of the biggest issues we seeing being faced here is that financing companies won’t give you the loan without a job and the carriers won’t give you the job without a truck. It is a shitty paradox that locks people into being company drivers and not the O/O’s that they want.
