yeah, I’ve been there. Sell as soon as you can :)

WTF? Those are some great tattoos! The artist is really skilled and great detail. But, as you have noted, one thing seems to be off...

crazy hard to reach spark plugs are most easily solved during the purchase of the vehicle.

I suppose it’s ok to have beer sponsors (drunk driving kills, alcohol kills, etc) and cigarette companies, and tobacco companies (all deadly) and how many other HORRIBLE sponsors that advertise DEADLY things. But HOLY FUCKING SHIT IT’S A WOMAN IN A BIKINI!

Doc - the fear of luxury brands is often a solid, life saving fear to listen to. A used 3 series will tend to drain the wallet significantly faster than a used S class. The studies show that the smaller, lower initial entry price luxury cars are 4.33 times more expensive to DD after the warranty period as compared

The large luxury sedan (aka S class, 7 series) are the best value in the used market. A 10 year old S class has the same tech as a brand new Malibu / Camry / Accord. But, it is still beautiful (in most cases - I’m looking at you e38!) still an amazing cruiser, still incredibly comfortable, still has enough power and

Less than 1/2 the miles, better condition, zero snow storms, same price.

Sure. All good and well, except the cursing. I just don’t see how wanting to earn some ROI makes me greedy. My whole plan in life is to amass some sort of fortune that I can use to help those that need it. So yeah, I’m the asshole. I can’t believe what a jerk I am. Thank you for being able to read in to my

I love my house! I never said “pick a house you hate” and live in it. Money isn’t everything, but chosing a bad investment on purpose is pretty stupid. Hey, this house is a terrible investment that will only drain my bank account and make me house poor and never amount to any sort of profits, but I really really

This is really far from the truth for me. Each of the houses I have purchased were purchased SPECIFICALLY because of their potential investment returns. Yes, I lived there, but the house was chosen based on the potential ROI. 90% of the decision was based on that, 10% was based on living there.

Ivan256 - not exactly. A different buyer buys the house with the HOA. It doesn’t mean the value is lower, it means the buyer is different. Let’s say you and I own a house in lower falls Iowa. Nice neighborhood. House valued at $150K. We want to sell our house (because you got a raise and a promotion! Whooo!

can you elaborate? This is a hot take that I’ve not heard before.

THIS!!!!! SO MUCH THIS!!!! I tested one for a large fleet EV purchase. The seat was awful. Miserable. Uncomfortable. borderline Painful.

Sorry, not that simple. Venus entered the intersection under green conditions, then, as a result of the nondescript dark vehicle turning in front of her, Venus got caught in the middle of the intersection as the light cycle changed and the Hyundai got a green light. The Hyundai was not stopped at the light, but

Please tell me more on how I get this deal for $350/month. As soon as I figure that out, I am going down to Volvo and getting 12 and hiring 12 friends to drive for Uber.

I have some issues with your use of the word “should” in the first sentence. No, they shouldn’t! They do. The likely will. But they should not.

are you me?

Really? Wow. I completely missed that one. My apologies. That joke flew over my head like Delta

Wrong. Got married almost 1 year ago this week. Total wedding cost: $142.50. Tack on another $20 or so for post nuptial breakfast. Not everyone needs the extravagant wedding. The clerks office in town does a mighty fine job. And 5% down is plenty achievable for those with good credit and financial stability.

I simply do not understand any of your logic. If you don’t like their offer, DON’T SELL THEM YOUR CAR. It is not a scam in any way, shape or form. You’re off on this one TS.
