buy a rx8, most reliable vehicle out there, they dont require maintenance


That's because the apex seals shit the bed before you're ready for an oil change. NN maintenance when you are rebuilding the fucking motor twice a year.

Pay down on something new with a good warranty.

Used car market is garbage since pandemic.


This. Just stay away from anything with a dealer markup.

This.. It's a weird time to be in the market for a car.

I sold my Tesla for 5k over what I paid for it after putting 20k miles on it and bought a hunk of shit until things settle down. If I have to look at a window sticker again and see "supply markup", I'm going to run my head through a wall.. Was 10k off of a 2021 c63 literally because of dealer markup... Ended up buying a lightly driven 2019 Atlas that a realtor owned.

15k? Wtf was it?

And yeah, they had a 2017 STI with 105k miles down here for 32k... I couldn't stop laughing.

I already found my tesla listed for 68k... That's nearly 10k more than it was brand new... Fuck that.

Any HD truck with a diesel is 10-20k over sticker depending on trim level. It's ridiculous. The excuse I was given was the manufacture is pushing HD hemi trucks down their throat and without moving X of those, they wont get a diesel delivered... Calling bullshit but w/e....

Halftons are 9-11k off though.

Depends what ya want in a car

I bought a 2001 camaro ss with 97k miles for $8500 about a year ago
Has 114k miles now with no major problems (probably because I got from 70 y/o original owner) it's a stick shift too. I was primarily looking for a v8/manual car :) I daily it to work and everywhere I need to go
