Depends on the interest rate. If you can finance at zero percent then it will always go down. Anything less than 2% and probably win out on inflation alone in real terms. Anything above that (which I imagine a lot of these deals are) then you are probably starting to move into losing proposition territory. Just make…

Agree. I recently bought a CPO car at 1.99% financing (when I was negotiating I was only able to get them to drop $1k off the price of a $21k car, but then to get it done I had them take off another percent on the financing rate, the price I paid was still below KBB and what Edmunds listed as FMV, and got good…

As an economist I need to disagree with this sentiment, at least in part:

My first car. It may not "be the best" in terms of ease of learning. But definitely the best in terms of learning to appreciate and love cars.

That being said. I went to college in Pittsburgh, and there were A LOT of hipsters.

"eds & meds" was pretty critical.

I went to college in Pittsburgh in the early to mid 2000s. Its done surprisingly well since the steel industry left. I actually think the "hipsters" or artists or young entrepreneurs or whatever you want to call them ("creative class" is the term Ed Glaeser and Richard Florida have bandied about) had a large impact on…

I don't exactly understand what this poster is trying to say?

Looks like the price has dropped today from $260 to $100... looks like bubble is bursting.

Price today according to BTC-E peaked at $260. Current bid/ask is right around $170. Someone has already lost over 30%.

Thanks for the heads up, will look into this...

Haha. Yeah I thought they were something you only inherited from grandparents. My girlfriend actually had one for that very reason, and it was horrible. When I was in college though I got my grandfather's Dodge Intrepid, which was basically on par.

Or he'd call the police to accuse you of assaulting him.

And a signed title on the seat.

You can even leave it unlocked, and nobody will take it.

Number one sticker to identify a bad driver. Is there anyone who wouldn't avoid this car like the plague?

Or also re: recent jalop post i will add Noindabutt, though I don't know if we ever discovered anything about that particular drivers ability...

Yeah, that was really what I was trying to get at. Obviously cars are an expression of who you are and like fashion you can subtly incorporate them to express aspects of your life in a tasteful way. But just as I will probably cross the sidewalk to avoid someone wearing a Greenpeace or anything abortion related t…

That only goes one way... Awesome!

Also, the website better be jalopnik.com :)
