Lol OK man.

Whoop de doo for my 2012 RAV4 Limited 3.5L V6 AWD! Getting ready to turn the odometer over for the first time and head for the second rollover.

y’all this is gud parsh I don’t care what you say this is the guddest parsh to ever el parshamino it up with a parsh

Oh yeah, those fascist automotive blog journalists are the ones we really need to be fighting.

“Oh Cock” and “No Cock”, obviously.

I agree with this in principle, but as a father of two almost 16-year-old girls, I believe if I told them to drive a Rondo it would be the last time they spoke to me. They might prefer to walk.

Do these guys play rock paper scissors to see who gets stuck having to make the sensible suggestion? 

You need to get over it with VW reliability, it’s far from that bad besides a tendency for false positive CEL.

Please give us a poll to vote on writer submissions so we can figure out how many people have kids that are about to start driving but also need to dig a trench and are also hopefully immune to tetanus.

If they couldn’t afford it at $57k, they can’t afford it at $50k either. When you are dropping that much for a vehicle, $7k is a rounding error. 

It's easier to get a new truck loan with bad credit than it is a used truck with bad credit. The people buying the used trucks are typically the "it's always stupid to buy new" crowd that think they know it all. Look, my job in sales is to help you, the better I do my job, the more likely you are to come back to me…

if they’re getting turned away for credit, then they’re leaving with the used truck at 10-15%, not 6.

The trick is find the leftover NEW last year’s model collecting dust on the lot for a huge discount. I have down that a few times now. Buy new for less than used, and have all the advantages of new.

I think part of the issue is many people have no idea how much of a fantasy MSRP is. They compare the used price to MSRP and think it’s a great deal, not realizing that with a little negotiation the prices end up a only a few grand apart. My dumbass brother did this with his and his wife’s trucks, plus he was…

I’ve been surprised by this over the years with Toyota Tacoma and 4Runners. Even if 4 or 5-year-old used one with 50 to 60,000 mi on it will go for 5 to $7,000 less than a new one. It's hard for me to justify not just buying the new one. Which is what I've done for the last two. The resale value on my current 2015…

It’s not that he needs to pay cash for his cars; he needs to see his loans through instead of tacking them onto new loans. He has to pay out the ass for the Gladiator because he rolled an old loan into the lease. The situation isn’t dire, however. He can sell the Miata for a little under what he owes on it and ride…

I’m not saying that people would not benefit from Ramsey’s advice...my problem with Ramsey is that he makes blanket statements that are not helpful and/or he uses examples and “facts” that are just not true.  You can give people reasonable financial advice that is both helpful and factually correct. 

I like the Honda suggestions on this. Not terribly shocking.

“Maybe these RAV4 buyers didn’t know that they could get an interesting car instead.”
