Bet that VIN was gone before the ad even went out

It’s a scam. the car is probably sold already. I had a similar situation with a Ioniq 5 Limited. Advertised lease for $99/mo, $0 down, 36 months. I called the dealer (was about 1 hour away) and kept asking if the car was on the lot and available and I kept getting the runaround. eventually they admitted the car was…

Maybe they will finally realize that the greatest fool turned out to be inside of them all along.

Or.... more likely, they will just cling tenaciously to the buttocks of Cognitive Dissonance.

I can understand private sellers being that delusional..., I mean they bought the stupid thing after all, but dealers?

It costs a lot of money to be poor.

According to the U.S. Department of Education, 54% of U.S. adults 16-74 years old - about 130 million people - lack proficiency in literacy, reading below the equivalent of a sixth-grade level.

You are forgetting another major issue - the person purchased a car they could not afford. It is not that difficult to buy a certified pre-owned car with a factory-extended from a manufacturer with a good track record of reliability. Hell, they even could have purchased a new Civic for half of what they spent on the…

Y’know it’s almost like cars are depreciating assets, and the idea of blaming poor financial decisions’ consequences on depreciation is absurd, especially in the case of the guy who could’ve literally googled his way into learning what lemon law is after a couple months of owning that Volvo.

Yet another content-less Ja…

Someone should really offer some kind of insurance to cover the gap between what your car is worth and what you owe on it. They might even call it gap insurance.

I have almost no sympathy for people who knowingly make bad financial decisions and wind up in a bad situation, mostly because of their own poor decisions. It is so easy to look up current interest rates at banks and credit unions online to know that anything in the two-digit range is terrible, even for people with…

An 8 year old Mazda for $11k PLUS 27.9APR on a 68 month loan? HOLY SHIT...

While he is somewhat of a Tesla Fanboy, really he is an EV fanboy and also has a few other EV’s that does long term tests. He has an Rivian R1T as well so he isn’t just a Tesla nut hugger. He gets them and puts them through a lot of tests and he test all EV’s and covers the EV industry like charging tech and charging…

“Youtuber” = zero sympathy.

I have a real hard time caring for someone who can afford a $140K vehicle that’s depreciated that much 🤷‍♂️🤣

They sold like hotcakes because people were desperate to get rid of their gas guzzlers after the first fuel crisis of the 70s, not because they thought the M][ was a great car.  People bought Vegas for the same reason.

They had modern suspensions, rack and pinion steering, front wheel disc brakes and better fuel economy. They just don’t look as good as most of the older models, and were slow, even compared with other compact cars of the era. But later mustang II models had a (admittedly still underpowered) V8 option and looked a…

Don’t tell my grandma, she loved her Citation.  But it was mostly a carport ornament because she never drove anywhere. They took grandpa’s van everywhere.

Of course Pinto is going to pop up on this list because people have been groomed for decades into having that opinion about it. But it’s only flaw was a misplaced gas tank early in its run. It was still an attractive runabout that still sold pretty well.

The Nissan Altima. Not because of anything that’s the car’s fault as it’s a perfectly serviceable car, but the fact that they made a zillion of them, they don’t hold their value, and have become a mainstay of the BHPH crowd and thus a scourge of the roads of any city of appreciable size.
