I saw a Tesla without a vanity plate making a pun about electricity.

I don’t know, I saw a BMW with working turn signals the other day.

The US dollar is worth dick compared to what it used to be worth too. My dad bought a car for $4000 in the early 70's. That’s effectively $26K in 2018 money so, the cars really haven’t gotten that much more expensive. The dollar value has simply shrunk.

Sometime you should drive a 50+ year old ‘basic transportation’ car, then you will know why they cost 10x as much now.

Wouldn’t they want it to at least be like, a little aerodynamic? WTF, man. Lots of postal carriers are on rural routes where they hit new hwy speeds between stops. Shoving an ugly brick like this through the air seems pretty dumb.

It gets my stamp of approval.

Please letter be this!

I can negotiate “like a man.” Or woman (some of the toughest, if not THE toughest opposing counsel against whom I have negotiated are women). I get paid somewhat fairly to do it, and am good at it. Also, I negotiate 7 figure settlements entirely by email. They can take weeks to hammer the nittiest of details.

Spoken like a true shady salesman.

This. If I can refinance my goddamn house (worth an order of magnitude more than my cars) over the internet and via email (I’m currently doing that right now and have yet to meet my loan officer in person OR walk into an office), I sure as shit don’t have to walk in to a damn dealer to “negotiate like a man”. What an…

Nobody gives a shit if it “benefits” you or not. This is simply the reality of shopping in the 21st century, and you can either adapt to that reality or become obsolete. Virtually every type of high-value bidding is done electronically now, from real estate to government contracting. We’re talking eight-to-nine figure…

Fuck off. I hate being in car dealerships. I hate negotiating; not because I’m a pussy but because I hate the lies and “I gotta talk to my manager” garbage. I don’t have the patience for it. I generally hate the bullshit car sales people spew. I guarantee I know more about the car I want to buy than the sales guy…

And your arrogant attitude is EXACTLY why people hate dealers.

“Negotiate like a man”? A real man’s got actual responsibilities and precious little time to shoot the shit with the likes of you.

Dealerships should just die altogether. They might have mattered in 1960, but at this point, it just seems that they are artificial middle men that offer no value.

Coming into the dealership is why people go online. No one has all damn day to “negotiate like a man” at 7 dealerships to get the price they are looking for. A test drive plus dealing with a sales manager and getting a 4square sheet made is 1 to 1.5 hours minimum. If i can send an email and get a good price without…

So weird. I’ve done entire deals over email. Negotiate price, negotiate trade in (subject to inspection), PDF of the paperwork over email so I can make sure it’s legit, drive in, inspect car, inspect trade in, sign, pay and done.

Why would you want to persistently work with a dealer who won’t answer a simple request? Your time is better spent finding a dealer who actually wants to work with you, because a dealer who won’t give a simple quote by email clearly doesn’t want to go out of its way for you.

Oh, fuck off. As if fucking 5-foot, 9-inch, 150 lbs (wet) Lewis Hamilton is pounding the weights at the gym every day. Seriously, no one is debating the biological limits of female strength here. The simple truth of the matter is that if a dude the size of Hamilton can pilot an F1 car to a championship win, then a…
