Combined with this from a different article:

This is a pretty gate-keepery bad take. I thought you were all about letting the people enjoy their cars they way they want to.

“If dealers aren’t willing to give them more than $40,000, where exactly does Ramsey think a buyer will come from that will give them $10,000 over what’s presumably the market value”

Haha I love reading these comments. Everyone posting the negative comments are absolutely unhinged.

This car is a diamond in the rough. Take into account the location where it lived, the purpose behind it. 382k of those miles happened in the first 11 years of its life from 1993-2003 so the owner could run their very…

“You can get a used sedan from a luxury brand for the price of a new non-luxury sedan.”

yup. The new Accord Hybrid is probably in the top 5 of the best cars you can buy right now.

Polestar cars are great and all but versus an Honda Accord....

It was #1 on my list, but a lightly used Volvo S60 Recharge swooped in at the last minute.

I agree, 20% margins are solid for a small business providing a service like this.

1 - Title is bait - discredits authenticity of the reporting here.

She is getting way more attention out of this now that it’s posted on national websites than they ever would in a carpool lane. Maybe she agreed to split the proceeds with the school if they made a big fuss over it?

The Polestar ‘branch’ of Volvo never made sense to me. Especially when Volvo started selling EV’s of their own.

Exactly! Cost of ownership and environmental benefits are long term things, smoking the neighbor’s Porsche in a stoplight race is instant gratification.

Man, all I needed was “I don’t have to go to costco every week to get gas anymore” and “I can charge my car for free at my workplace”

I think it’s partially because most people are looking for some form of instant gratification. EV manufacturers needed “something” to make their products immediately appealing to consumers. Saving money over 10-15 years of ownership is nice (assuming people even keep the car that long), but that’s not going to scratch…

This is silly. You could make an argument that everything on the planet is killing the environment. The idea is to harm it less and over time as little as possible. Basically what you are saying is, “All Cars Are Bad”. We know that Trains are much better for the environment.

or knocked the suspension out of alignment.

I just checked the wear bars on my Model 3 yesterday. I am about due... after 51000 miles.

It’s sort of funny that we couldn’t help ourselves with the performance possibilities of EVs so we just HAD to make every one of them accelerate like a Lambo.

The EQS starts in the low $100k range so my sympathy is lean for Mr. Semel.

ROFL - are you both bad at math and flunked Econ 101? 2040 is 16 years from now. The AVERAGE car in the US today is 12.5 years old, and that is climbing fast. Newer cars simply last a LOT longer, and more and more people can’t afford new cars. There are 280M+ cars registered in the US currently, but only 12-16M new…
