Um, okay. From my perspective:

There’s no doubt that they are trolls.

Obviously, this was a CP from the get-go, but I DO appreciate you bringing these unique cars to light as it’s fun to see what idiots do.

I mean, I guess if you could get it in a non-lowered, stock condition @ $2,100 might be decent for hauling random stuff. It’s no pickup, but might be usable enough. I certainly have no interest in a manual trans for this guy: go simple and reliable and get use out of it. You ARE talking about 225k here.

For those who haven’t figured out that it’s a scam yet, check out this listing to compare:

I’m sure I’ll find out when I read the comments, but I’d imagine that if the $100k MSRP loses 87.6% of it’s value after 87,000 miles that you don’t want to own this vehicle.

I agree. There is a sweet spot when going from the days of crappy 13" steelies to where 21" wheels are options from the factory. There’s no doubt that the 17s on my Civic looked awesome and better than the 16s on my Corolla, but I’d take the 16s any day of the week. In fact, I have a set of 17s (from an EX-L) that…

Even beyond the wheels, I’d expect higher depreciation on a 9 year old luxury car, especially one that will cost $$$ being out of warranty. I mean, CD player? I hate the leather seats that have a giant seam down the middle. Reminds me of the ultra-cheap Big Lots “leather” (bonded, cheaply) seats.

With the timing belt being 16 freaking years old, the average person would immediately spend $1k getting that done to be safe. Then you have a tired interior, 90s automatic and a heavy car with a maybe slightly-less-than-7-second 0-60 time. Fun? Eh, I guess if you consider a modern non-Type-R Civic or base Accord fun.

This one is kinda a toughie. For those who say “who cares, drive it for a year and part it out and it’s like $400/month”, all I have to say is... really? You’re saying this car would be worth $400 per month? It’s a 22 year old Boxster!

You would think I’d be an ideal buyer as I enjoyed my 2 years with my 2012 Leaf that I bought for $5400 (bad battery degradation). But what the heck are you supposed to do with this? How in the world did it get so many miles on it? If you were going to make a $38,000 electric car as a small maker, why would you have…

$19k off for an American SUV that STARTS at $74k means very little. This isn’t a Model X and obviously will depreciate more heavily as the new model comes out. Right now 2018s are selling for around $45k, so I guess depending on the residual, it could be a decent lease deal.

I’ll give you guys credit. You certainly find a way to find a nice mix of various vehicles from all years and types. I’m not sure who the buyer is who wants a Pacer, but they are welcome to it.

I don’t like to stereotype, but this sounds like typical German engineering. Amazing technology used in a smack-your-forehead WHY-did-you-do-that idea. Was this some joke suggestion that someone took too car?

Haha, additional taxes on ICE cars. Good luck with that. Instead, it’s the opposite. Georgia implemented a tax for EVs to compensate for lack of Gas taxes - you pay $250 per year now as a reward for “doing the right thing” and lots of other states are following. 

I just wanted to put in a semi-side note. People blame people getting new cars and 100 year loans as the reason why they get underwater, but don’t for a second think that buying the stereotypical “recent used low mileage vehicle” means that you are making a good financial decision.

No... idiots don’t get killed off physically (only financially) and in fact procreate in more abundance.

Eh, it’s ALWAYS the buyers fault in any sort of scam, but that doesn’t make it right. Sure, it’s Grandma’s fault when she gets fleeced and when a recipient to a ADT Door-to-door salesperson doesn’t realize they are signing a 5 year contract @ $50/month.

Wow, that’s an awful practice. To make matters worse, I’m sure that if you could’ve gotten $10k from trading in your vehicle, it’ll probably sell at auction for $8k or less. Then, I’M SURE there are fees and fees and more fees that get tacked on related to the price making the deal even worse for you. You’d be floored…

Something like this isn’t about a pure financial decision. This thing isn’t going to appreciate and still has a LONG way to go and you aren’t going to like what Mercedes will charge you for service. This isn’t a Porsche or a Tesla where you’d expect to get 100k miles out of it.
