A wankpanzer would suit you perfectlyI hope they keep depreciating, I actually wouldn't mind one for the novelty aspect, but I'm not paying more than like 15k for it.
Isn't this kinda like the pot calling the kettle black........A wankpanzer would suit you perfectly
Are you high?Isn't this kinda like the pot calling the kettle black........
I watch this YT channel it's some dude in Florida who has a dealership for high-end used cars. Someone had bought a CT from him for $125k and 3 months later was calling back wanting to trade it in towards a Porsche 911. The dealer offered him $75k and the dude agreed. I've never seen deprecation like that lol.
$50k in 90 days is not even something I can comprehend.
Couldn't pay me to drive a car now with the Musk Nazi stench on it. Plus, the Cybertruck is butt ugly.I hope they keep depreciating, I actually wouldn't mind one for the novelty aspect, but I'm not paying more than like 15k for it.
You could buy way more than a single Civic at that price point (MSRP starts ~$24k).I know I always whine about the lack of a $39k model, but the upcoming $60k base model is still TWENTY-THOUSAND DOLLARS MORE lol. I could buy a whole Honda Civic for that lol.

Oh, for the price difference.Oh, I meant for the price difference lol
Why are Civics over $20k now?? Even the cheap cars aren't cheap anymore!!
They're bigger and more featured than previous generations.Oh, I meant for the price difference lol

Well, I think the bigger deal isn't that you could get [insert other new car] for price difference. It's that you could literally buy >1 [insert other new car] for the actual price being charged. Americans are so well off, they just have no clue when they are regularly plonking down huge sums of money (or taking the loans) for unnecessarily large or luxury vehicles.
They're bigger and more featured than previous generations.
But you also have to account for inflation. A quick Google says the MSRP of a 1990 civic was 8700. Which is 21700 in today's dollars. So you're paying almost the same, adjusted for inflation, but getting a much safer, cleaner, and comfortable car
The average is a misleading statistic because there is a hard floor but no ceiling. Median would be better, but that number isn't as outrageous to report and is this harder to come by.The average new American car is like $750/mo. My last apartment cost that much lol.

And Americans have been suckered in by their relative financial success and marketing that pushed them into vehicles with much higher profitability margins and/or longer loan finance terms.
This kind of stuff is obscene. Dealerships should be crushed into a tiny cube and purchasing a vehicle should be more akin to buying any other widget. There is a set price and you pay it.My dealership buddy said that 84-month loans are pretty much the norm these days

I'm sure the handful of "good negotiators" would be displeased if that were to pass, but the majority of people would benefit from such a move.
Yup. To keep the monthly payments low. Because the average/median American doesn't understand how loans work.My dealership buddy said that 84-month loans are pretty much the norm these days
I feel like if the cyber truck starts selling at 15k then Tesla would be in such trouble id avoid them entirely given how connected they areI hope they keep depreciating, I actually wouldn't mind one for the novelty aspect, but I'm not paying more than like 15k for it.
remember he told us he's the true car guy in this forum.Are you high?
There is no similarity between myself and that dumb, ignorant, piece of trash squirrel.
Build a shed around it and use it as a massive residential battery!I previously stated I'd pay a max of $5k for one. I'll have to retract that. Due to odds of vandalism, I wouldn't go more than $1k. I still don't know what I'd do with it aside from an oversized grocery getter, but I'd consider it disposable. If anything other than trivial parts broke, I'd take the battery out, and scrap the rest.
That's exactly what I was thinking. I use very little electric, so even with my modest sun exposure, I bet I could keep it charged enough to run my house.Build a shed around it and use it as a massive residential battery!
