That explains a lot.

The Q60 (much less the rest of Inifniti’s lineup...) isn’t really a good comparison, and they hold their value about as well as a Hyundai does/did. Plus, the Genesis coupe was actually current while it was on sale. Which is more than I can say for most of Infiniti’s lineup...

Found “That Guy”!

Hyundai unfortunately still has a ways to go, when the commentariat are still hung up on “oh it’s an overstyled, design-cribbed Korean shitbox”

This is from an era of Hyundai styling I don’t really care for, but it’s a solid respectable vehicle worth the price.

Though this is from the generation of Hyundai styling I don’t particularly care for (this doesn’t appeal to me, but the G70 and the current/upcoming G80 do), it’s a solid respectable vehicle.

Purchase price of a BMW/MB, is just the “Cost of Entry”. Buy this Hyundai, and spend very little on maintenance, parts, and modifications.

Benefit of the doubt: Public transportation is generally quite decent in California, and Sacramento may be slightly better than any random town anywhere else. But while parking is still an issue in Sactown, it’s not NEARLY as starved for space as the Bay Area and the cost of living is FAR less. If you’re working from…

Nah. Subsequent owners drops the powertrain warranty to 5 year/60K. So it’s out of warranty (though only by barely a year).

I typically take any opportunity presented, to shit all over Michigan. The state I grew up in, is one I love to poke at any chance given.

I’m sure you looked it over yourself at some point to make doubly sure all components were removed.

FTFY.

That sort of thing is only what “Shit Dealers” do. And/or dealers that specialize in shady financing, and/or are in bad areas.

The facts are never pretty!

California has a thing called “Smog Testing”, Jake would have to put out 2x-3x the cost of a Honda Beat, ON TOP OF a Honda Beat, to get a CARB exemption. So that’s out.

Macabre.

SF Bay Area resident checking in. I have had to venture out a handful of times to get grocery shopping done, and I am on a volunteer list to go on-site (IT) when there’s a critical need. Which basically means we send one single person on-site every few days at MOST. We all have Essential Business papers in case we get…

My first reaction was “What the- .....”

I respect it, but, I don’t aspire to own one.

What i remember of these, is that a departed former friend of mine had a 93 GT. Sunroof, oxford white with blue racing stripes, good condition. Bought it in 98.
