My Prius insurance isn’t notably different than my other non-hybrid car. One year apart, worth within a few thousand of each other. Prius traction batteries aren’t that expensive now than there are remans out there. Even OEM brand new isn’t nearly as expensive as the EV batteries.

Because you’d need to be smoking something to buy one?

Porsche has so many good colors, and this one is just...black.

Seriously, a guy who still has a loan on a 2008 vehicle that they value at $19k. 

I’m thinking the same. I guess it is possibly an alright deal for a Cayman. I just think it is a very underwhelming way to say you own a Porsche.

Any of these sweet wagons we don’t get to have here that others have already covered.  Just say:  wagons.  

At least getting a Subway sandwich is a “meal”. You can buy your 1/2 price food and be done.

In my experience the most aggressive drivers are almost always young men. MD, VA, DC tags, doesn’t matter. Brand new M3 or a “how is that roadworthy” Altima.

Yeah, the old NSX was a killer deal at one point. Those 90's Japanese sports cars really fell under the radar at one point. I don’t think that will happen with this one.

So what is the cheapest we think these will ever get on the used market, excluding one that gets trashed somehow.  $60k?

Guy had already made rank, could have been in line for another promotion and a pension bump.

I’d prefer the smaller car myself, and the hatch, but keeping it significantly less expensive than the TLX is tough.

The TLX Type-S has SH-AWD and an automatic.  I get why they didn’t bother on the Integra, although I suspect the pricing will be close enough where I’d probably just get the TLX anyway.

I’m not a mechanic, but does any A/C system “just need charging”? They’re sealed systems. If the refrigerant is gone and needs a “charge”, then it leaked out somewhere, right? So best case something came loose. Worst case, you have a failed part requiring replacement.

NO TIRE KICKERS!!

One question I have about the Carvana type companies is if they ever adjust the value after getting the car? With the usual dose of cynicism towards the car dealer industry, I could see them offering a nice fat price on the online portal, but then once they get the car they start adjusting down.

Don’t worry, “class counsel” was awarded “reasonable legal fees” amounting to $77.5M. 

These days, $900 a month is a Corolla.  Yes, I’m kidding, but probably not too far off.

My family’s 1998 Grand Caravan was actually pretty good in the reliability column. And as a “Sport” model, was by the far the best looking minivan of the time. Looked just like this one:
