Sounds like your business is not profitable enough. Gotta pull yourself up by your bootstraps Matt. This is a free market.

If you have to pay shit wages to make your buisness model work then maybe you need a different business model.

The seller can’t be bothered to clean out snack bag and seat cover that appears to sporting a butt crack sweat stain to take more flattering pictures of the car? I am all out and grossed out. No Dice.

You’re right. I missed that (should’ve read it better).

Thinking something was afoot, the Johnsons ignored the dealer. But the dealer retaliated and sent a tow truck to repossess the SUV.

I bought new cars in 2008 (Fit), 2012 (VW TDI, sold the Fit because wife needed an auto for knee issues), 2016 (GTI, because VW was giving them away thanks to Dieselgate), and 2018 (GLC300...TDI buyback).

Alpine A110

These kind of cars fit probably 75-80% of all use cases for the average urban/suburban/exurban commuter but people act like we’re ripping the farm trucks out of their hands because they’re the one guy who tows horses for 2000 miles a week. 

Car : All Teslas

Tesla Model 3. I like the size, the price, the exterior styling, and could, I guess, live with the interior. I can afford it, and in 2 or 3 years will likely be looking for something electric. But the company owner is a deal breaking flaw for me (and especially my wife).
