Here ya go. Luxurious, safe, reliable, and it might still be worth $18,000 when you sell it in a year. 2013 Lexus GX.

I’m not hating, I’m just saying sometimes you need to protect teens from their own impulses.

Anything with seats that fold down into a bed, unless you want to become a grandparent way ahead of schedule. 

I mean, maybe not having these dingleberries for parents would have been in the kid’s best interests? It sounds like you could have passed him off to the next adult walking by and immediately made his odds of growing up safe and healthy a lot better. 

It’s like a giant ant lion trap for dipshits. 

Fuel is difficult to obtain in the early model, and getting it will involve baddies.

It would make an interesting show piece for someone who wants to have the only one at the car show. $21,900 is way too much to ask for it though. That on top of the hassle involved in getting parts and dealing with legal shit makes it a clear ND in my opinion. 

I’m a sucker for oddball cars like these. NP. 

The exception to the rule of car depreciation is when your uncle runs his hand along the roofline and says, “This is gonna be worth something some day!”

No dice because of the leak. I would want to get a scope down that pillar to see how much damage has been done, and I doubt the seller would be willing to yank the spotlight off. The spotlight would need to go regardless because I have no interest in cop cosplay.

That stinks. I’ve had good experiences with their tires, but only on passenger vehicles. 

I’ll say NP then. Not replacing the tires or fixing the switches raised all kinds of red flags for me, since they usually mean the seller is fed up with the car and hoping to hand its problems off to someone else. Damn, these things are sexy.

Completely irrational NP. I love it. It should probably sell for half of the asking, but if you really want one of these old wagons at an affordable price you have to take what you can get.

Unfortunately they are probably getting a lot of claims for vehicles broken into that didn’t have the easy to bypass ignition. If some dumbass kid smashes a window and rips the shroud off the steering column of a car with push button ignition, that will still be expensive to fix.

We have the EX, and it came pretty well equipped. I would definitely pass on the Touring unless not having cooled seats is a deal breaker. 

Damn, that’s a big MPG penalty for the Touring. It’s worth noting though that the Accord Hybrid gets better gas mileage than what the display tells you. We took my wife’s 2018 Accord on a long interstate drive last summer. The display said we got 44mpg on the trip, but when I calculated miles driven versus fuel used I…

Working around aircraft of any type is a high risk job that requires focus, even when it isn’t at military operational tempo.

These are neat trucks and they probably hold their value well among Ford enthusiasts, but $17k is a lot to ask for a 33 year old vehicle that is more of a curiosity than anything else. The bargain bin tires don’t inspire much confidence in me either. ND. 

I’m leaning towards NP because it is an uncommon and interesting car that moves under its own power, but I have no idea what it will be worth after you’ve poured thousands of dollars into completing it. I’d love to see what someone with the time and money to bring it up to snuff could do with it though!

The obvious risk is that Sinema will stay in the race as an Independent, splitting the vote with Gallegos and putting whatever MAGA psycho that wins the Republican nomination into the Senate. That outcome still works for her because then she can change her dollar store John McCain “Maverick” grift into a career of…
