Presumably there are a few factors at work for why it’s better at upselling:

Not sure if the bill to help fix this problem went anywhere but if this article from just a few months ago is correct, they are indeed unable not just unwilling because legally they have to prove the car was locked which is basically impossible.

That is my biggest issue. Legally I am FORCED to have auto insurance, even though I drive less than 1k miles a year (combo of post covid world and change careers). Since I and other Americans are forced into the scam, it needs to be nationalized as for profit companies exist for profit...not providing what is…

People love to crap on insurance companies, but car insurance IS highly regulated almost everywhere. It is not a license to print money. But if things don’t go as your actuary gnomes think it will, you can lose a shitload of money in a hurry. And if the gnomes think costs are going to increase faster than the state…

I am going to play devil’s advocate here (I honestly don’t have an opinion), but let’s assume that what everyone is saying is true, that the insurance companies are running some sort of scam here, where they are inflating their losses relative to what people are paying. What is the benefit to them to not insure people…

And then eventually they can do salaries!

A phev uses 1/4-1/5 of the battery of a full electric. It can provide 90% of the daily use as full electric.

Did you know that someone named King Varga killed 2 people with his car? I didn’t until I read this story that told how a guy named King Varga, who killed 2 people with his car, is suing people for saying that he killed 2 people with his car.

This is no good, my daily  commute is 450 miles one way and I tow 7000lbs, I cant wait 20 minutes for it to recharge ! I want a 6000sux

This is straight up illegal per Magnuson-Moss. Warranty coverage cannot be limited to the first purchaser nor can it come with certain pre-conditions.

One of those protections is that all warranties are transferable.

I’m admittedly not an expert in this specific area, but clicking through your link and some of the cited links within it, all I saw was reference to requiring manufacturers to be transparent about whether a warranty is transferable but I’m not seeing anything mandating that it be transferable  

On what grounds does this feel even remotely illegal?

Except you’re assuming this is some secret between the owner and GM.

 I am actually ok with this, I think flipping is a small part as to why dealers try and stick so much on over the MSRP, why sell it at MSRP when a guy will drive it off the lot and sell it for an extra $20k, that said dealer markups ONLY work because  morons out there are willingly paying them in the first place.

Okay, let me give some context. (all the trails featured in this video are now closed as of this saturday)

That dark blue metallic paint is absolute *chefs kiss

Stunning accomplishment, and sounds as though it really thrashes the Plaid on build quality, fit and finish and level of luxury.  As it ought to at that price point. 

I agree. ‘08 and earlier Range Rovers are either dead or in the hands of enthusiasts. The aftermarket has fixed most of the catastrophic issues with older cars, such as L322 air suspension failure, so they don’t appear in slideshow anecdata.

I have a theory on that.  Anyone who buys a British car older than the warranty expiration date pretty much knows they are getting a basketcase, and still takes a chance.  True sadists (or those who REALLY don’t know about cars) take a look at a 20 year old Range Rover and say, “I need that in my life!”
