Not every BMW is an e36.

He doesn’t seem to care much about his own

Erik doesn’t give a shit about cars anyways, unless it’s a Honda Fit.

What on earth makes you think it is reliable?

It’s almost like their entire profits are based on the margins. Which they are.

BTW - the whole “depreciating asset” thing is silly - you are simply using up the life of the car by getting transportation out of it, and that is reflected through the declining value of the car. And the first few years are more expensive, because they are the BEST years. There is a LOT to be said for spreading the…

Keep the stupid Impala for a couple more years or as long as you need it. It’s not like it’s going to be any less valuable with 150K than it is now with 125K. And the routine maintenance stuff you’ve done has only increased its value by a couple hundred anyway. You’re not going to get that money back. IMO, when you spe…

Nope, fuck your slideshow. Did not read.

This isn’t entirely correct. Nice click bait headline.

You are right that a dollar today is worth more than tomorrows, so why give up today’s dollar when you can give the lender a dollar tomorrow that is worth less.

Cars are a depreciating asset. I don’t get how it is BETTER to have more cash tied up in your car for a longer period of time. The time of value of money always says that payments in the future are less expensive than payments now.

I’m sorry but this is so backwards.

Their judgment was already questionable by buying a Mitsubishi

Maybe I’m missing something, if I put down 10k so I’m not underwater, that 10k is effectively lost. If I finance a zero percent loan and put down zero dollars, I can take that same 10k and earn interest with it. At any point during the life of the loan, if I have to pay back said loan, I can use the 10k that has been…

Spending 6.5 years paying for a Kia is the most depressing thing I can think of. 

I had a guy tell me today that “It won’t be long before you guys are giving these away!". Uhh, not really. Sales in my area haven't slumped much at all. The deals have actually brought in a lot of people and our area is doing great. Funny how some people are convinced that dealerships are days away from going under.…

Looking for more clunkers without having his existing vehicles in decent driving condition (does he have a decent vehicle for a daily?) makes me think he’s legitimately got a mental illness and could use some help, not enablers making jokes. I’ve met people with what would be nice yards full of dead cars “they’re…

You’re spending more time obtaining than fixing and selling, so you might as well just become that guy where the government has to step in and force you to get rid of them.

Maybe I’m a piece of shit, but I think the HOA is being reasonable here. They have a policy regarding RVs in their community. The nurse and her husband chose to violate that policy without reaching out to the HOA in advance. HOA enforced their policy. Nurse and husband reached out to the HOA, which told them that they…

That’s the free market.
