“. . . the largest wagon that Ford has ever produced for the consumer market. At 227 inches long . . .”

The asking is well above KBB’s average for a private party sale and I’m not seeing any reason to offer over its book value—as a buyer I’d be looking to buy a car, not bail out an underwater debtor. Then there’s the mileage and Volvos aren’t noted for their low operating costs. This one is probably approaching the…

Open but more like the door is ajar in many places. Some of the population centers with higher case loads instituted their own restrictions after the state restrictions were lifted. Capacity limits, distancing practices, etc., and many businesses employing sanitation measures and strongly recommending masks is likely…

“. . . it has been developing with Microsoft Corp.”

I spent a career with a major retail drug chain and you learned early on when execs paid a visit all they wanted to hear from you was how great everything was and how amazing their new strategies were.

I had mice get into my ND Miata because the dealer hadn’t properly prepped it. Tie-down points to secure the cars during shipping were supposed to be covered with rubber plugs prior to delivery to customers but as mine was the first ND the dealer delivered the service department either didn’t know about that step or…

But ask yourself, “Am I going to be satisfied driving it just 250 miles a year?”

“The tax credits impact the brand . . .”
