Used goods are only worth what people are willing to pay for it. 10 year old Tacomas selling for over 20 grand cost that much because the people buying then are mentally insane and There are apparently lots of them.

Everyone at Jalopnik:

Great retort. You must have been the captain of your debate team.

I am not going to say that wage growth is strong, BUT you can get a more affordable loan for a 3k car than you can get for that 25k bmw suv/giant truck/flavor of the month that you want because it makes you look like you have money or because you just want it. And the 3k car might be cheaper to run over time.

I grew up with thrifty shopper clothes. Kmart was splurging for us. I’m familiar with being fucking poor. I started working at 12. I started as a laborer for a construction company at 20, I busted my ass and made foreman a few years later.

Did I say you weren’t? Personal attacks part of the job description, asshole?

So you’re proof that hard work pays off then. I was dumped into the workforce just before that same recession, bought my first house just before the crash. I was smart, though, only spent half of what the bank had approved me for. Had I extended myself as far as the bank would have let me, and bought the house I…

Skip the booze, scratchers, and smokes for a bit. Back when I was 14 working the grocery store in my podunk town nearly every person paying with WIC checks seemed to have enough cash to buy a couple cartons of smokes, a couple 30 racks, and $20-50 in scratchers at least every week.

Sure it’s great advice if you’re already wealthy. If you’re living paycheck to paycheck like most people with subprime loans, it’s just like suggesting they get 2-3 more jobs. It’s pretty tone deaf.

Woo hoo, you know how to use Gooogle! Just because you found other trucks cheaper than this one, doesn’t make THIS one a CP. Safe to say there is a range of prices that are NP for a truck like this.

You all had months to react and didn’t. Cities in China were under lockdown in November and there was plenty of Western news broadcasts talking about how dire the situation there had become.

Bullshit...

You know damn well that Dolt 45 has never been in a gym.

staaaahhhhhp

Hey Kidelo, how bout we hit the slopes?

Say what now?

All of this is horseshit! I had one of these in 2wd form for years. It will easily attain highway speeds and will easily drive at highway speeds. It’s nothing near fast, but that’s not the point. Great little trucks that are tough as shit, easy to work on an cheap to run. 

So, is this the President reminding us that we’re only supposed to have one car per family?

They were deleting diesel particulate filters and egrs, and DOCs.

Okay.
