So your answer is to take your interest earning money (at least half of the car’s MSRP probably)and place it in the hands of a car dealer where you are likely to come away with no car and a hassle to get your cash back?

Two in Miami for 34k. Are there some fine print charges they are leaving off?

You’re all wrong. If you win the lottery you buy a bunch of RS6 Avants, let the government crash a few and keep two for yourself (in case you crash one).

I saw this VW Polo in a mall parking lot outside Philly. Obscure for the area I guess.

Completely off topic but I have a car buying question. My wife leased a 2014 Pilot which ends in a couple months. I did a quick check on KBB to see what it’s worth, and it looks like a couple thousand over the end of lease purchase price (probably because she leased at 15k miles per year and it currently has like…

Will this update fix the crash problem many Android users are experiencing? I have been unable to play for weeks now.

I drove a car that was snapping off wheel studs. I was down to 3 (of 5) when I decided to drive it to get it fixed. I was 20 feet from getting on a busy road (Roosevelt Blvd in Philly) when the final one broke. The car dropped, and my wheel kept rolling down the street but thankfully stopping before it got to the the…

Couldn’t renting his car also affect his unemployment (if he is collecting)? Even if he got $100 a day for his car and rented it every day, that’s $3000 a month. Factor in taxes, the possible decrease to his unemployment, and probably needing a car for himself and that doesn’t seem like a viable option.

Valid point. I was thinking more theoretical in my comparison of old vs new where as your view is probably closer to reality.

Mgmt 101, the money already spent has no bearing on future decisions. I didn’t make the rules, just pointing them out.

No. That’s a sunk cost. Those toxins have already been released and you can’t change that. The comparison is what pollutants an old car still releases vs a new car and what it took to make it.

It’s not a certainty if you factor in the new pollutants it took to make the new car.

Because that doesn’t bring in as much money. The chances that a 20 plus year car will still be on the road in another 5 years probably isn’t high. So the poor person that paid the tax and then watched their car die 2 years later will now have to go buy a new 20 year old car and pay the tax again. Probably the same…

I can’t wait to buy DeMuro’s after he gets tired of it after 6 months .

Does this have a third row option?

No self respecting person makes a cheesesteak with peppers. Stop watching Subway commercials. And they use ribeye, not sirloin.

I wasn’t trying to say they can’t move these off the lot. I just meant I don’t understand the reason for sticking to the old way of doing things for something so new and different.

I meant the extended warranties the finance guy tries to sell you. If the manufacturer gave you a longer one then you would probably not buy the add on warranty. It cuts into the dealer’s profit.

I wonder if a major reason is that it would upset the dealers. The dealers probably wouldn’t appreciate the manufacturer cutting into their profit.
