Conceivably most off lease cars that go back to their home brand can be “certified”, allowing one of those dealers to sell it at a higher price and profit margin. Therefore you’d think that the home brand dealer would almost always offer a better buyout than a third party. I realize that’s not how the world works, but

Depending on your state, a title lien may or may not be public record - for example, in PA they’re only recorded at the DMV and wouldn’t show up for the general public to see. Essentially it’s another loan but if the second dealership doesn’t report that loan to a credit agency, they wouldn’t know. It’s still an

You piqued my interest. I always opted for the soft cover not because it was cheaper, but because it was easier to deal with than a hard folding cover, especially if you don’t have a garage to store the hard cover when you need it off. What thoughts are I not thinking?  I may have to reconsider in the future because

It’s funny you say that. I want a Maverick as an alternative to a Civic - essentially i see the Maverick as a sedan with a more flexible trunk (when equipped with a cover). People comparing it to a TRUCK are missing the appeal to a lot of buyers.

The hybrid wasn’t supposed to be part of dealer stock anywhere, so it showing up in your search is either dealers coding it wrong or something odd happened…I guess they could have been orders whose buyer backed out. 

Just watch out for ice storms between OKC and ABQ. Any snow or ice of any type or amount, especially in the east mountains, is no joke.

The drive through AR isn’t bad unless there’s roadwork or an accident. There is NOWHERE to get off I40 and circumvent a crash. It took me like 9 hours one time to drive through Arkansas and it was awful. 

This may be one of the cheapest Boxsters on the market right now. Porsche prices are acting whack, yo. A Boxster under $10k that’s in decent shape inside and out and isn’t in pieces is an automatic NP. 

Especially when they’re from…ugh…Jersey. 

1000x this. In most scenarios I only need like 20 miles of range. But a few times a month I have to go pick up my kid and take him to soccer games, which is easily 70+ miles each (way with no chargers), and five or six times a year I do 400-mile-one-way road-trips.  Being able to rent an extra battery for just those

I got rid of my Mk7 Sportwagen because I couldn’t stand the seats any longer. Really regret that decision, a pillow would have been a better choice. 

What’s wild to me is that just about any car dealer, anywhere, can register your car for you in your home state. I’ve purchased cars from 1000 miles away and the dealership could do TTL for me and the registration would should up a few weeks later. There’s no excuse Carvana can’t get their act together except for

MSRP for a V8 Vantage was about $125k. I’m really shocked that $35k is a “too good to be true” price; they must not depreciate like I thought they would. I figured an almost 10-year-old British import would have at least 80% depreciation at this point. 

Wait wait wait wait. Live turkeys weigh 50+lbs?!??! Never getting near one of these death birds now. 

One time in HS I had to move a sheet of plywood tied to the roof of my Escort. Only had to go like 2 miles but it was the longest and most butt clenching two miles of my life.

I thought I needed an SUV for my dog. Then I realized that he loses his shit (figuratively) when he can’t put his head near me on car rides, so he’s gotta ride in the back seat no matter what.

I didn’t think of that. In my state (PA) it’s 20-years-or-older, which this car would qualify for. In spite of the fact that 1990 will always be 20 years ago in my mind. 

It is a clean title now, but not when the new owner takes possession and the DMV makes them check the “not actual miles” box on the application since the odo doesn’t work. 

I have three sets of earbuds because nothing lasts longer than 2-3 hours. This looks…no different, since the buds’ internal batteries are still small. 

The FB post states that the truck was carrying $400k worth but only a few gallons spilled. This is questionable reporting.
