Depends on the car and the deal. I paid cash for a Subaru Impreza new in 2010 from a place trying to get them off the lot for 17500. I kept it 9 years and ‘sold’ it to carvana for 4500. they claim to have listed it for 9500 but that car wasn’t in shape to sell for that if anyone saw it (in my opinion, even if i…

Unfortunately we still live in a world where acknowledging systemic racism still exists is hard to get a lot of people to do. I will give them kudos just for meeting that minuscule but important baseline.

those fluids exist. they’re still heavy and expensive. I’m not talking about the R&D cost. I’m talking about material cost. 

You are aware that NASA’s budget is bigger than the average new car buyer’s though, right?

It gets a 34-inch-wide high-def screen in its interior,

Man. At least there used to be a threshold that if they were going to be potato brained, they better at least have a good head of hair. Now we’ve got this guy asking the questions? Who’s he fooling with that comb-forward?

We’re just skimming over the fact that they’re pretty clearly calling the EV Hummer a truck and not an SUV? Is it safe to assume it’ll have a pickup bed at this point?

The only other Ford vehicles with 3 rows are 70" (Explorer) and 76" (Expedition). Sure, an edge is 68" but its also much shorter in length. You also feel less tall/wobbly when driving one than an Explorer. And it’s based on a car platform, and you don’t have to climb up into it. That’s where the argument comes from.…

2) Checked bags. Way more stuff is allowable in checked bags. 

That’s called the Ford Flex as far as “boring, roomy, simple and cheap.” They just killed it because no one wanted to buy it en-masse.
