That automatic is really bad. Fiesta forums and places like carcomplaints.com frequently show the transmission needing to be completely replaced after 60K miles.

That’s why I’m not a day trader or stock broker of any kind

The larger cars tend to look good. I like the body lines on the new maxima, and the Chevy impala looks good too.

But if that happens, you can write off the losses in your/your company’s taxes.

They suffer from their own success. The cars are so popular that any styling change they make becomes instantly common. Making all their cars share a “face” doesn’t help things.

If ford succeeds, then its stock prices will change less (percentage wise) than if Uber were to succeed. A small company that has a big product release will make the stock prices rise more than if a large company does it. Investors do not care about what the company actually does.

Just had a rental escape by my insurance agency. Not sure what I was expecting but it did confirm that I didn’t want one.

It is unfortunate we don’t see crazy vans like that anymore but the core competencies a van/people mover MUST have are price, interior volume, and, perhaps most importantly, safety. Those vans were more expensive than everything else they competed with.

The hardest parts to find are commuter cars that no one bothered to save. If you wanted to rebuild a plymouth horizon and needed a new floor pan, odds are pretty great that if yours rotted out, so did every other one in existence. You would need to hope and pray that some wrecker out in California has one you can go…

FancyKristen’s hot take: Why bother fixing the roads when my helicopter takes me wherever I want to go anyway?

This thing is so offensive, I dig it. Plus the price is a bargain compared to the fuel economy you’ll see.

I completely agree. The de-valuation was specifically why I used a hypothetical $10,000 car to show how someone would feel really cheesed at VW now that they have to give up their new (to them) car and are stuck with a loan balance of more than the car’s value.

MOOR!

3.6 sounds better and turbo’s put added strain on the power train which may compromise its longevity. Plus, I want my engines heavier! And 3.6 is more than 2.0! MORE!

I guess that’s why they say every rose has its thorn

Maybe a VW owner would argue that their car was/is worth more than the buyback amount? If I had just bought a used TDI for, making up a number, $10,000, I would be super pissed if I then had to sell / get rid of it for $6,500.

People age at different rates. One 70 year old man might be mentally and physically fit enough to win jeopardy through a marathon while another one may be suffering from a form of dementia or other thing that affects their driving.

I’m surprised the article didn’t mention him lol. Knowing his luck, his cosmic oscillators would stop defrangulating and as we know these aren’t warrantied parts.

B-b-but it’s only meant to go in a straight line! How hard can that be?

But the cars came with limited slip diff’s so they are perfect rear ends to put in a resto-mod muscle car or drag car!
