Imagine the look on the dealers face if someone actually qualified.

Looks like they combined the worst of the Wrangler with the worst of the Compass.

Through the 80s, into early 90s it would be believable. They were fairly common and depreciated quickly. The idea that a daily driven beater 280 would survive Buffalo winters into the 2000s is laughable, they rusted really badly. California sure, Buffalo no way. 

Too many other variables, especially the warranty. Some have little, others are basically a very good extended warranty. I’ve. Some some CPO inspections, the inspection itself isn’t much different, but the standards are usually much higher. 2 examples tires and brakes. Most used car lots are fine with 4/32 on both,…

Good to see you have recovered from that “I live in a junk yard” funk you were in. Back to "I have my own junkyard!" 👍

I'm guessing some odds and ends he found in David Tracys yard. 

Road legal? Does it have a VIN, pay your tax and tags and away you go.

Maybe for some high end euro cars, most cars the camera is fairly cheap. Lidar and radar sensors are the expensive stuff. A lot of it so far I'm not too find of, especially lane keep. Far too intrusive and wonky on many models. Blind spot monitor seems to be universally good and useful. 

Popular in countries where parking is much, much tighter. Seriously, you wouldn't believe how tight spots can be in 500+ year old cities designed for ox carts. 

First, people don’t throw away cars for this, insurance companies make that decision. Second, there are probably 10 times as many 200k cars on the road today compared to the 70s. Modern cars out last old cars by far, not even close. People used to throw away cars when they hit 100k.

Honestly stopped paying attention to CR reliability reports a long time ago. Working on cars for a living and seeing a lot of nearly every make the list doesn't correspond with what I see breaking all the time. Too many brands way up that are constantly having the same problems, too many way down that hardly ever have…

Was a great game, hackers, modders, and Rockstars greed have ruined it. I played a lot, got fed up and stopped playing 3 years ago, even sold my playstation. I was going to get a PS4, but now it's jailbroke so why bother. 

Lebland and Reid were meh, but tolerable. Harris annoys me, always looks like an angrier grumpier Uncle Fester. Passed over Sabine again, unforgivable, most likely will not watch.

While this may someday happen, experiments with cargo carrying small autonomous vehicles look far more likely. Load all the extra crap onto those and have it follow the squad around. 

No recall, customer had a popping noise. Tech had to remove powertrain so welder could reach firewall. IIRC it was somewhere around where the rear mount attached. 

Right, not like nearly the entire Japanese auto industry just got caught doing improper safety inspections for the last 20 years

Last time I saw a manufacturer send a welding contractor to the dealership it was for a Tribeca.

Not so much a myth, more like those old school owners who did take offence when you purchased elsewhere are dying off. Corporations taking over more and more of those, and they don't care. The things you may lose out on are things that are at the dealers discretion, like goodwill warranty. They may only get so much of…

Nope, how many outstanding recalls in a dealers area is one of the metrics they get graded on by Chrysler. Weasel out of profitable service makes absolutely no sense
