Meaning you don’t like a robust economy, lowest unemployment in over 40 years, highest labor participation rate, naturally growing wages, more businesses expanding and new businesses opening, better trade deals, and a stronger military than before, just to name a few. Oh, and while on autos and climate, the fact that…

Go to New Jersey, and many of their larger cities have street sweepers at least once a week.

Apparently you haven’t ever been to Manhattan or any of the boroughs. Those streets get pretty freakin’ nasty. Worse than Bourbon Street some times.

This reminds me of how my friends would act when they couldn’t find a parking spot in NYC. They would find a car parked with a ticket on the windshield, park in front or behind the car and place the ticket on their own car. If the meter maid saw the ticket, they would pass them up. That's why I always use the PATH.

I actually was a repo man a few years ago, and there is a heck of a lot of CYA paperwork from the banks.  This sounds fishy on the banks side.

Plus the cost of the plane ticket or round trip tickets, food while on the trip and of course, the rental.

Many are harping on fuel efficiency, but are not mentioning the other regulations that the car manufacturers are forced to adhere to, like safety, which adds more cost as well as weight to the vehicle. So by a manufacturer making their vehicles more efficient, but then having to add more weight to the vehicle, it…

As it should be.

California is already doing that.

Aabsolutely, because it is a simple economics problem.

I people want more money, they need to get a higher skilled, higher paying job, instead of meanial task jobs that are necessarily designed to be low paying.

Well, at least for now, and the foreseeable future of about twenty years, the truck driver jobs are still safe. However, the problem is that this younger generation doesn't want to do manual labor, like truck driving, construction, welding, auto repair, electrician, plumber, roofer etc.

Just like the absurdly over priced Beetle, this car is also way, way over priced.  But the owner can alsway ask whatever they want to ask for it.  But if they really don't want to sell it, then they shouldn't be listing it just to draw attention to themselves.

Also, after doing some more searching, I found insurance pictures showing a lot more damage to the front of this car. This car hit another vehicle and the nose of this car submarined, causing damage to the nose and hood.  Same picture also shows the bottom of the front bumper has extensive damage in the center, where…

This smells like a scam. This car was listed for sale in 2014, for $28k when it had rear end damage.

That was from 2014, and there was rear damage.

That is a significant crack in the fiberglass. It takes a lot more than a parking lot doing to make that happen.  What you are missing is the underlying damage. I would not be surprised if the headlight was replaced due to damage, and the seller hasn’t disclosed it.

I work in a high volume body shop, and I repair Toyota etc., bumper covers all day long. So unless there is a huge hole and there is a bunch of the pieces missing, we usually repair the covers instead of replacing them. Reason is, it is less expensive in the long run. I can remove and detrim/overhaul the bumper, sand,…

I happen to work in a high volume body shop, so I see this happen on a regular basis. If an insurance company totals the amount of repairs to be 75% of the actual cash value of the vehicle, then they will determine the car a total loss. Then it is up to the insurer to accept a check, or give the check back to the…

So you want them to bring Mercury back?
