Devious and unethical? I can live with that. I don’t expect much from car dealers. It seems like their entire franchise dealership industry is based on a set of double standards and loose ethics.

What I’m curious about are the details and facts here.

I suspect that what’s being proposed as a legally questionable…

You’re making me hungry with all of this food talk. 

Comfort is subjective, but I’d say that there are plenty of those on the market today that fit the comfort objective while not pretending to be a race car. 

I don’t think that this is a nice price because of the unknowns. For me, a wrapped car that shows examples of neglect or outside storage drops the value by 70% to me. That $15k car as it is would be a <$5k car.

I hope that someone doesn’t pay $15k for this. 

When I was a teenager I drove a number of cars that I wouldn’t step into today. My logic was similar to David Tracy where I bought the worst example of the best car. That logic holds up for real estate, not so much for heavily depreciated cars that cost more to bring back to good, than to just buy a good one to begin…

Look, show me the ad and let me know the identity of the dealer. I want to understand the facts.

I’m not of the belief that a dealer group that uses this as a standard practice is doing so without some parameters and disclaimers provided by attorneys who are playing into the law. Maybe I’m wrong. However, I bet this is more an issue of ethics than it is of legality. 

Ok, you’re welcome to disagree, but I’ve not seen the ad, and if this is a multi-location/multi-brand dealership group, I imagine that they’re not going to blatantly flout laws that would end up costing them more than the benefit they’d receive by being “clever” with their advertising and marketing.

I’m suggesting…

Ugh, what an era for American motoring. Don’t miss these cars. 

It’s explicable, read my follow-up comments.

I also want to know which dealer this is. I want to see how they’re promoting/selling these vehicles.

I’m not saying Tom is wrong, but I also believe that if this is part of a dealer network that they’ve done some legal due diligence to ensure that even if they’re skirting…

So, I just responded to Tom. I’m not a troll, and I abhor trolling. I do however make failed attempts at humor, but this is not one of those cases.

I understand the nuance a bit better, and I understand your perspective.

I’d like to see the ad on this or any other car from that dealer to see if there’s fine print that disclaims the CPO title, or defines it on their terms. If they’ve got legal coverage, this is then a matter or ethics. Ethics are not something I…

Not to be a jerk, but I’m not understanding the actual problem here.

It seems that this is a win-win. I’m going to guess that when you add in the cost of CPO warranty that the price is at parity with other CPO cars of similar spec and odometer readings.

So, you have the option to buy the car sans the additional…

At least you didn’t add in a bit about donuts.

Have you been able to get the sauerkraut recently? I’ve been to multiple locations that have all said they do not have sauerkraut. I assumed they jettisoned the kraut everywhere.

Not sure where they live? I think the first sentence of this post has a clue to follow.

“A Utah mother of three who authored a children’s book on grief after her husband’s death has been charged with killing him.”

I’m over here writing a list of the reasons why I would buy a GM product. However, I can’t think of any reasons.

All speeding is not created equal.

Residential/school zones - Treat offenders with the same penalties and severity as DUI.  

On the highway, traffic, road conditions, and weather permitting, up the limits. However, weaving through traffic at a high rate of speed, is a no no. 

I am confident that I have never heard anyone who owns a Rolls-Royce ever call it a Roller.

Are Mitsubishis any good, or did they only sell more of them because you just couldn’t find anything else new on a dealer lot? 

It is kind of like when you show up late to a cookout and you’re hungry, but all that is left are some cold veggie dogs.
