The guy is trying to buy a ~$90k car while being $29k underwater and only has $7500 to put down. Assuming a 6.5% car tax (this is a guess) and a 10% interest rate (no way this guy is in single digits), you hit that $2500 with 60 months of payments.

For this kind of money it needs to have gone one of two ways:

Wagons are fine, but this one is way overpriced.

That raggedy edge at the top of the windshield screams hidden rust everywhere, so, nope.

ND. For that price there shouldn’t be any flaws.

I doubt we are going to see $100k Mazdaspeed Miatas. I owned one. They are great cars, and I’d buy one again if I were in the market for another 2-seater, but the Mazdaspeed has been relatively unloved for 20 years now, with prices only marginally above regular NBs. I don’t see a catalyst for it suddenly being…

Guy A gives Guy B $120K worth of drugs. Guy A cannot accept straight cash (cuz his bank and IRS surely wont without a receipt), so he “sells” his car to Guy B for ~$40K and the cost of the drugs to Guy B, and now has a “legit” receipt to show the tax man and banker for all that scratch.

It’s not about being low mileage, although that helps. It’s about it being fully stock. You will be hard pressed to find one stock in this country. Stock Supras can easily fetch $200k+. This Evo has the same cult following now. 

You can’t convince me that BaT is not some elaborate money laundering scheme.

I still see a few of these on the road from time to time, and it makes me sad. Imagine being that far underwater with such a lemon.

Given the number of issues they reported, it sounds like whoever payed $13k for this got screwed.

Is the maintenance on these things as heinous as Jags reputation would suggest? 

So is he selling them because he can’t drive them anymore because he’s too old, because he needs the cash to pay off his 652 million pound tax bill, or is he just selling them off?

This blows my mind! I can’t believe what I’m reading! Florida requires license plates?!

Camp century is a wacky story. I love that they found it.

That was my thought. Google is irrelevant here. Who ever was responsible for that bridge should have barricaded it and posted a detour route.  Even in a third world country, this should be the minimum expected.

And Google directions is not one of those causes here. With no barricades on the road, this could have happened regardless of what directions someone is using.

Agreed.  If the local authorities couldn’t even be bothered to block off the bridge, how exactly is Google supposed to be aware that the road is closed?

headline should be why an Indian town/region/hwy department didnt baricade a closed bridge. or is google responsible for that?
