Exactly. He should consider trading in the kid towards his down payment on one...

Based on every YouTuber that has ever purchased a used Bentley, this is a definite ND. These purchases never end well. The deferred maintenance and random repairs to needlessly over-engineered systems will quickly turn this into a $40k car that's barely worth $20k.

With modern checks, they’re able to scan the magnetic thread inside to ping your bank and check if the funds are there. Most stores do this regularly (or at least a regularly as they have to accept a check these days).

Normally this would be a definite ND, but I think many of you aren't taking the current market into account here. It's basically mint, has the maintenance fine, low miles, and it's the version of this car that you'd want. I don't like this crazy used car market any more than you guys, but it's NP.

But if they catch him doing it again without a license, they can throw the book at him. That’s the point.

That’s really not inspiring much confidence in Tesla's abilities...

This is the built-in excuse to automate the industry. “See? Nobody wants these jobs (that we refuse to provide training for).

$25k is the average USED car sale price? We have two cars purchased new during the pandemic (‘20 Tiguan 4motion, ‘21 Soul) and both were way less than $25k with extended warranties added on. I just can’t see spending that much on a used car.

Or it could be that healthcare “customers” have no demand elasticity when it comes to serious procedures. Setting prices across the board would stabilize things for patients, but that positive externality doesn’t provide a profit motive for hospitals, so good luck. It's almost like healthcare would work better as a…

If you live in a red state they’ll just tell you that his liver should have just lifted itself up by its bootstraps...

I wonder how their “approval” rate for treatment compares to most insurers...

It’s all centered on making healthcare a commodity rather than a public good. If it wasn’t treated as such, it wouldn’t make sense to treat it as part of compensation for employment. 

‘83 is the Xennial sub generation. I refuse to be grouped in with all the millennial baggage, lol.

You’re going to want to tack on a couple grand for an extended warranty on that Passat. I love VWs, but I’m not foolish enough to have a loan on one that’s longer than the bumper to bumper warranty. Point taken though.

Here come the 120 month GMAC loans...

Is that the Compass model that was basically a reskinned Dodge Caliber? Or was that after the redesign?

A 90hp bike is the furthest thing from slow. Lol

1997 Hyundai Accent L (base model), 92HP. It was actually faster than my first car, ‘91 Ford Tempo (98HP), since it was a manual and so much lighter (2k lbs). The only power option was the brakes, but it was actually pretty fun.

I feel attacked... Lol

80% of the US has no practical public transport, unfortunately.
