You can’t even buy a decent 5 year old SUV for that price. On Autotrader, there are many Journeys for ~$13k. Brand New. Some even have options, like the second Journey below with a touchscreen stereo, alloy wheels and leather steering wheel... for $13k!

A 5 year old Journey is cheap because they’re falling apart by that point. The interior and suspension have some truly appalling durability. They’re the most popular Uber XL in my area because they’re so cheap. The suspensions clunk and groin over bumps. Even the leather seats are degraded by that point. It's a

It makes sense. Nobody is buying a Mitsubishi for the experience. They’re buying a Mitsubishi because they have no other options. With an abysmal credit score and no down payment saved, they can’t finance a used car, except at a predatory buy-here-pay-here lot.

I agree. The aftermarket will have one of those ready in about 2 months after launch, if TRD doesn't release their own. 

99% of new offroad vehicles never leave the pavement. Whether its a Raptor, TRD Pro 4Runner, or lifted Wrangler, it spends most of its life on pavement. That is until owner #3 buys it with 120k+ miles and doesn’t give a shit about the precious resell value. Then it MIGHT see some action. Maybe.

This guy got what he deserved. But in some places, people will do this with a perfectly legal zipper merge. I remember living in Indiana where people merge a mile before a lane ends. If you try to drive up to the merge point, someone will inevitably pull out across your lane to block you.

For a 2008 535i, 230k miles is a miracle. For a 1991, it's reasonable. 

Very good price. For any running car. Let alone a clean and desirable one. Yeah it needs a paint job to be a show car, but you're not buying it to be a show car. You're buying it to drive it. NP

It's sold with a manual in Europe. Just source those parts. This should be very simple 

Agreed. I think Toyota realized their cars are being largely panned for poor design. But their trucks are always praised for their rugges handsomeness

I can’t help but laugh at the people who inevitably whine about a crossover being useless because it doesn’t have triple lockers and a 2-speed transfer case. My work often has me traveling to rural communities in South America. Many of their “Roads” would scare off most Americans in lifted wranglers. Yet the locals

Those new headlights look like an eBay special that’s been plaguing this generation of Sequoia for years

I have quite a few friends with trucks who only commute with them. I have one friend who flips homes full time and does most of the work himself. His car? A Jetta Sportwagen 

It's a bit underwhelming because there are almost no concept cars shown in Chicago 

Its an old and terrible car. But so is the Dodge Journey. Take a look at its sales figures. It’s still selling like hot cakes with random spikes in sales that don’t correlate to any refresh. I would love to see an article explaining the economics of Dodge Journey sales. 

Don’t be poor. Drive your G-wagon in the winter. Not your McLaren. Problem solved. 

Don’t be poor. Pay someone to wash your windows. Problem solved. 

“think of windchill as the acceleration of cold, where temperature is top speed’.

Judging by her “old myths won’t die” comment, this is probably a typo. Unless you’re talking about the myth that BMW tells its owners about “15k miles oil changes”.

This is a false dichotomy. Reliability and fun aren’t exclusive. See the GT86 or miata.
