all witnesses should keep their eyes above the neck level :)

then look at them above the shoulder.

everyone who shows up gets over it. 

it’s expected to have a towel/personal fabric to sit on. 

I agree with your argument but you are not factoring in the need of “now”. broken things used daily often need to be replaced “now” and if you don’t have 4 months worth of payments squandered away, the options slim down to financing. which just puts you into another hole. However, this goes on all day every day as…

it eventually becomes about value and who owns what is valued. if the people get repossessed and don’t have/own value, then what we use to calculate value (currency) goes down if done on a large enough scale. 

counterarguement: people unable to afford housing/denied housing but can afford a car will begin living in their car, thus upending the demand for housing. no new housing turns into a crisis of far bigger proportions. than last time.
also, if you flood the market with repo cars and people are still on the hook for…

cars will tank, then houses that require cars to get to will tank. stack order and all.

here’s the f’d up kicker, to afford that used honda civic you have to either pay up front or have GREAT credit in order for the banks/lenders to feel like they will lend the money in financing it.
They will literally justify paying 500+ a month for something new and deny paying 100-200 a month for a used piece.
And…

cars depreciate too quickly these days. a 20k used vehicle now loses to 10k in just 2 years. the average person only gets to pay off about 2-3k in that 2 year span.
car dealers will make the money no matter what though. 

the financing people told them that they can’t have a used vehicle because it’s too high in the DTI ratio. however, a new vehicle with incentives will trick the financial system into re-adjusting the DTV level of that vehicle and they suddenly can afford a 40k vehicle new when they were denied a 20k vehicle when used.

people Still haven’t learned and are trying to artificially raise the value of housing until it bursts because no one can afford that rotting mcmansion that has been sitting on the market for now 4 years.

I think it’s also 2 things: trade-in/resell value is plummeting, so you have less to bring to the table than ever before in order to get something different.

i recommend test driving them if you need a smile removed from your face.

I would assume drag strip = trying. But hey, disbelieve until the moon turns to cheese, I care not. 

convince people the modern buick regal is a decent car

buick regal turbo 2016 with 97 octo in the engine. I might not outclass the listed cars in HP or torque, but in the gear shifts and WHP when I am going 40-80MPH leaves a large gap between me and them. At around 100MPH the car does start to flag behind due to the torque. 

They look smashing, they perform like a dumpster fire of no sense.

their best offering is the regal GS or Turbo (not sold anymore). Everything else is meh-terrible.
