5 months, 4 payments. I haven’t missed a payment or anything but the car has some damage that I’d like to avoid putting money out to fix so turn in isn’t great there. But even without the body damage I doubt I’m getting more than $500 in equity on trading it in as its a base model Civic from 2016, and I was able to…

I’m trying to shop now for a car for the first time in a while and those baked in rebates and incentives have been killing me. This whole process is exhausting and I’m thinking I might just buy out my current lease (as boring as the car is) at least for now just to be done with it as conveniently as possible.

How the hell do people talk $7k off a car? I seriously don’t get it

Get one to match the lovely Volkswagen plaid seats

I love the look of 50's cars, but this thing just felt like a plastic knockoff of them for me. And, not to be mean to realtors, but I always just saw it and thought “That is a realtor’s car right there”

I definitely agree this current team is stellar. Every one of them has a really distinct personality and style that comes through in their writing and their subject matter. Personally I’m especially fond of David’s crazy wrenching to save his rust heaps, and Torch’s desire to seek out the most strange and interesting…

I enjoy the occasional Florida Man type post and the stuff like bad HOAs. They’re generally sporadic enough to still be fun

That is a piece of art

At least in concept Torch is on target. But the price difference for a car that is basically a sportscar turned into a crossover isn’t worth it.

Seems interesting. Also seems like something we’ll never get stateside, especially with how Fiat is handling their line here.

Final because it seriously may kill you?

A David Tracy vehicle without rust sounds like an oxymoron

I love the weird innovations companies come up with that get replaced shortly after by the new industry norm

158k is definitely getting up there, but I love the design on these, and everything else seems in pretty great condition for that price. If I had a spare $6500 I’d go on a road trip to pick it up

Because petrol stations are a plenty in off road environments too....

Eyes are a little more aggressive than I’d prefer. But overall that’s an attractive crossover

I mean, Volvo has always put comfort and safety first in their cars, and I have no problems with this. Its not like many people are out their hooning their Volvos

They’re replacing Matthew Lilard as Shaggy?

The risks of either is a little bit like the joke in the Good Place of why no one gets in: There are a ton of factors you need to consider that aren’t readily apparent

I can buy a brand new Kia Rio and quite honestly it could meet my needs as a daily driver and be a perfect utilitarian tool, but have little to no…

As much as the electrical gremlins are a fear, I’d say some of the features the new cars offer over older ones is a boon too. I’ve been waist deep in car buying research the last 3 months since I have a lease ending soon and honestly there are some features that are just unavailable on even 2 to 3 year old models,…
