    Even used cars cost a fucking fortune right now. I saw a PT cruiser the other day with $9500 on the window. What the fuck

    I have a 1999 Honda Civic with a low mileage of 1.2 million miles for sale @ $15k. No low ballers

    Needs paint, new tires, new clutch, and the tint is peeling off the windows making it hard to see put of. Needs a quart or 2 of oil each week.

    It is worth $15k, so no low ballers.

    For those who don’t understand, this is a joke

    When the random car a family member had and gifted to you dies there is going to be a lot of people walking. The only thing keeping people afloat right now is hand me down cars from parents\family members that get a new car.

      Exactly. People shouldn’t need cars. If they want one, fine but it’s damn near a requirement almost everywhere in the US.

    I love when I buy a new car and its instantly worth thousands less than what i just paid for it.

      That’s true for any product as a percentage of its RRP. Why would anyone buy a used product for the price of new.

    Why the hell would I buy a new car? I have a 2002 Mitsubishi Spyder (think convertible Eclipse) that just needs a new head gasket, and a 2004 F150 that runs like a top.

    Thought about trading both in for something in the middle for fuel economy, towing and hauling, but I’m not seeing anything tempting.

    Fuck 'em. Either prices drop or I stand pat.
