3500 before labor.

As a very seasoned mechanic, and shop owner, I’m calling bullshit. Well, mostly, because I don’t know what the other smaller items consist of, and how many of them there are.

I can tell you this - if I had a customer pull into my shop with a ‘96 Suburban and I gave them a 3500 estimate BEFORE LABOR…

10K is barely existent, 20k is average, 30k is getting there, 40k is lolwtf?

$10k is barely affordable. 20K is “inexpensive.” 30K is “reasonable.” 40K is “entry level base luxury”. Everything above that is luxury at different levels.

1k for that? I’m down.

I’ve said it before, this is what vehicles look like when function is first and then design. I really like them just because of how goofy they are.

To be fair, I’ve only heard of like four Oklahoma cities: OK City, Tulsa, Norman and Stillwater. The last two are because of college football.

I hope they make it, if for no other reason than these would be cool to see rolling around.

There is the slight problem of Mitch McConnell...

Ugh - just seeing that smug, orange, exceptionally punchable, face on my computer screen is giving me a disquieting sense of nausea and disgust. Sort of like when you vomit, and the mere taste of the residual bile in your mouth makes you run for the toilet again. Stomach heaving and churning.

Binding orders do give you a baseline of income and one or more launch customers you can point to, hopefully as use-case success stories.

Just push the flush lever already, and have the plunger ready in case it won’t stay gone.

My BMW 850 went that way. Still married but she warned me to tell her about the next one

totally type in saab and get 150 F-150 listings.

You’re allowed to get some of this stuff wrong in a private party listing. If you work in the car business and your job is to sell cars, you should get the fundamentals right.

My favorite is cars that are clearly automatics listed as manuals.
