It’s a free country - free to be as stupid as you wish to be. I hope the defaults come....I need a broad selection of 3 year old cars to buy in cash for half it’s new price for my college kid.

in this sector of the market, the key is to buy cars that are cheap to FIX.  They all break.  Crown Vic all the way to the bank

Two words - Crown Victoria - solve this riddle.  Always. Every time.  FAR better than any of the crap piles listed in this article every day and twice on Sunday.  Thank me later.  In the alternative - LeSabre, but only if you pronounce it properly - Lay - Sah - Bray and tickle it softly every morning before you get…

no ‘good’ or even ‘half decent’ reefer is getting anything other than refurb to put on the road.  If it’s scrapped, it’s truly, truly scrap

aluminum - even more recyclable

have worked most of my career loading trailers -  many of them reefers. There is NO F’n WAY this is a good idea - ick. Just....ick. The insulation in those walls is full of mold, mildew, insects, vermin, rotting food chunks, etc. Just buy a mobile home or a travel trailer and save half the money for twice the value.

this should be filed in ‘editorial’ not in ‘news’.  a little biased??  geez.

crackpipe - purpose built for Instagram - utterly useless piece of yard art. I camp a lot in a Travel Trailer - this is roughly equivalent to a very large, heavy, inconvenient popup camper - this is #failbus - furthest thing from vanlife, or camping, or glamping.....maybe it’s only real use would be for a tailgating…

I just did.  Acura is nicer, and not much more $.  The entire concept of the brand from the jump 30 years ago. 

drive one and see if you feel the same afterward..

infinitely better

Ditto - this car was a steaming pile of hot garbage when it was NEW - it’s now a ‘like new’ steaming pile. Suspension is so bad it’s dangerous - unless you LIKE catching air on the mildest of humps, only to land on said horrid suspension and take a ditch.  Slop pile steering, crap brakes, crap tires, crap…

plan on NOT doing that - they ride sublime with air, and like shit on springs.....there’s money in the budget for air ride

came here to say this - a ‘hot rod Lincoln’ is about as ‘Murica as its gonna get, and a MKVIII is the low-buck high fun factor ticket to ride.

cougar XR7 version is way cooler tho

No Dice - it’s a Saab. I can be disappointed and broke much more efficiently than via owning a Saab.....perhaps another Jaguar.....AAAAAAAAAHHHHH RUNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!

the recycled pop bottle fabric on the new Hondas is a good example of this - seat material has definitely gotten worse - fabric or leather - the vinyl on the other hand, markedly improved.   I picked my 19 Acura LARGELY for the NOT LEATHER leather seats - easy to clean, durable, stay looking good for a long time past…

Derek - the ACTUAL expert in this field - would wholly disagree.  Hook your peepers on this https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsfu-jdkX2_v2t3_igVQebg

this is so cool....an actual intelligent conversation on a car forum? conducted with polite, factual arguments and a sense of decorum?
