I want to begin by making it very clear: there is no excuse for threatening someone’s life, period. Also if you receive death threats you should contact the authorities immediately.

I had to buy a car in a hurry after losing my company car when I was laid off. A Saturday afternoon was spent online looking at Autotrader and I found a 4 yr. old Sonata with 69,000 miles on it. The Carfax showed scheduled maintenance had been followed and it had no dents, dings or scratches.

If it is a VW or Audi buy a genuine Ross-Tech Vag Com cable.

That’s shit advice. With a little effort, research and legwork you can get 2x the used car for the price of the new car without getting screwed. But sure, go ahead and spend 15 grand on a base model economy car. You’re the smart one here.

Biggest missed tip, buy an ODB bluetooth module and an app on your phone and connect to the car to check for faults.

You’d get screwed by depreciation instead. I’ll pass.

Fear not, for thou can still be screweth.

Not necessarily true, lots of new cars can be lemons...

Last year I saw two M1s sitting next to each other at Road America. There were many starers. I hope Jalopnik doesn’t mind me linking to my own blorg. Sorry I had a weird old CCTV lens on the camera when I came across the M1s. It only made me feel even more like I was hallucinating.
