I feel like a pickup truck that runs on oxygen, dispenses milkshakes and costs $5 would sell well.

The only, and I mean ONLY, upside to all this for me is that we were gigantically over-mileage in our lease. It has 12 months to run but we’re only 300 miles from our allotted amount. However, we might not put 300 miles on that car the next 12 months, as my wife works from home and I’m gainfully unemployed.

I can’t speak for others but yeah, I’d never cross shop a Genesis. There’s just such a small price difference why wouldn’t you get the one that you want? I also just don’t feel the Genesis is a very compelling package and despite what the article states is not good looking. I’m not opposed to the brand in general but…

This is pretty much the only site I interact with the comments section simply because the commenters are the best I’ve ever encountered. Yeah, there’s a small percentage of unreasonable blowhards that get mouthy, but I find them to be the minority. The vast majority of the people that comment here are reasonable,…

“Who’s the arbiter of what something should be priced at? The manufacturer.”

I’m well aware of how out of touch people are when it comes to them valuing their own stuff. Just look at the idiots on craigslist.

I see your point, but it’s really not how many I was going to send - the conversation is more like this: Colleague: I’m considering getting a [brand of car]. Me: Don’t go to [dealership], they’re dirtbags. Go to any of other 3 or 4 dealerships for [brand of car] in the area instead. I realize I can just say whatever I…

I love how probably 2/3 of the questions in this column boil down to “why won’t the dealer cave into my perfectly reasonable demands” when the writer has no clue whether their demands are actually reasonable or not. Sure, selling more cars is preferable to selling fewer cars (generally speaking). But we have no way of…

I’m with you on all of that except for this line:

I’d say the 8C is also a work of art. It never went that fast, but man it is beautiful and sounds amazing doing it.

Which is also what ends up making them good deals. Resale prices on other trucks are horrible because Chevy/Ford love to run their 20% off year end sales, immediately tanking the value of any in the market by at least that much. With Tacomas never going on sale, their resale values are great.

I am also hampered in my pursuit of a 250 GTO by the fact I am not stupidly wealthy.

I thought the same thing. This person shouldn’t be buying a car like that if they don’t understand why the value is so high.

“I’m shopping for an Alfa 8C but the values are still inflated in my opinion.”

We are not selling these below our invoice cost.

oof that’s a deal breaker!

As someone who works for dealer that only does used, and mainly specialty vehicles, negotiating online or over text/email is always welcome. A few things to keep in mind though. Whatever price you see, don’t expect the dealer to knock thousands off for you. Also, try to either have the car inspected by a shop or third…

If the last three cars I bought, two of them I’ve bought sight unseen. Unless you’re buying a very specialized car, they basically work all the same.

Most people want to test drive the car in person...but a lot of car buyers want to avoid the whole negotiation process.  And that first bit was more reffering to the fact that right now, with social distancing people want to avoid uncessercery person to person interactions.

Having grown up in California and lived here my entire life I always find it totally crazy when I see a car from the fly over states with some huge plastic badge on the trunk from whatever dealer they bought it at.
