This is pretty much SOP at dealerships these days. Whether it’s a whole camera system, or documentation of vehicle condition with an iPad, or video walkarounds by the technician (or in the case of the BMW dealership I worked at until last July, all of the above), they protect themselves these days.

Repeat after the BMW technician: “Old BMWs are ND at any price!”

Ford Mustang Mach III concept from the 1990s. It was functional, with a supercharged 4.6, and was such a radical departure from anything the Mustang had ever been (and other than the engine, and if you squint REALLY hard, a few styling cues) none of it found it’s way to a production Mustang.

The Renegade, and anything else Fiat-powered, for that matter, doesn’t belong on any list of suggestions where the buyer specifically asked for “reliable”.

I work for a dealership group that includes a VW store in my hometown. I formerly worked for another group with a VW dealership 22 miles away (I actually worked at the VW dealership). Both stores thrive because in spite of offering the same products, they serve different kinds of clients. One is minutes from a…

This is the biggest ND vehicle ever.

RWD pickups. No weight over the drive wheels, no traction/drive with the steer wheels.

The BMW Tech in me: ND at any price, it’s an old BMW.

For most people in the 4Runner crowd, this would actually be NP. For me, it’s ND.

I have no idea who’s voting NP on this. Even as a delusional fan of cars from the isle of misfit toys, I can’t get on board at that price.

Doesn’t surprise me. I’ve worked as a tech for a Kia dealership, and tech, sales, and parts for two different Hyundai dealerships. During my brief stint in sales I sold my dad a new 2013 Accent for his long commute. I just changed the oil on that car Tuesday, and the odometer showed 181,429 miles (no, I didn’t…

On my 16th birthday (and my birthday is Christmas Eve), my grandfather officially handed me the keys to his 1975 Chevrolet Scottsdale 10 longbed pickup. We’d spent the summer before giving it a bad paint job in my favorite color (GM Medium Bahama Blue Metallic), installing blue carpet, tuning it up, and working on a…

There is a price at which I, a Mustang II afficianado, would actually want to own this car. $6500 is not that price.

See my reply to King Ginger.

I worked for Carmax for 3 1/2 years. It’s a great company that has the used car game down to a ridiculously accurate science. Buying Carvana for what would have to be way too much money, while taking on a ridiculous amount of debt, for an inventory that isn’t currently to Carmax standards and would have to be…

Carmax wants nothing to do with Carvana.

Rare? Old? Cool? In one of my favorite colors? Not priced through the stratosphere for what it is?

Finding it a new owner.

“They aren’t fast. A modern minivan could probably blow the doors off this.”

With a 351W, in mint condition, I’d consider it at MAYBE $10,000. $15k and I don’t know which engine is in it? Hell no.
