I'm sure some people would consider me a troll, while I think I'm just writing honestly when I see things I don't agree with. Yet reading what you just wrote makes me want to quit this site forever. On most sites we…
A 20 year old pickup is fuel injected, has a catalytic converter, and is checked by it's OBD2 controls constantly. Unless the pickup is failing its smog tests, and driving around with expired registration, it's…
They are definitely compensated via a gross profit commission split just like others at the dealership. They do have volume bonuses to make up for the fact that most of their deals will be low or no profit, but if you…
4. You said final paperwork previously. I'm not going to bother responding to the rest as it's clear there's some misremembering or exaggeration going on here. In my experience, the things you are describing are very…
1. I wouldn't call a miscommunication between a handshake deal with multiple people and departments involved and the next day the exact same as a "term sheet ruse" which implies there are games being played on the…
1. Weird fraud I've never seen done, if the actual original interest rate was "agreed upon", and not just a "potentially if you qualify at our source bank". 2. I assume the car was looked at and maybe test driven. I…
Take it from a car salesman, this is often a tactic to slow down the negotiation and make you feel like your offer was a good deal for you. I have said those words many times when I could have gone lower than their…
Every person? Obviously not. Statistically more likely? Absolutely. And your comments about SF people are absolutely true, and I live here.
Obviously there are great low income earners. I'm just speaking statistically.
Jesus. Go more extreme then. Do you want to live next to the barely employed, social services using, bike stealing crowd? Are we really pretending nicer safer areas aren't more desirable than areas of low income housing?
This wasn't about me, I wasn't the one I described. And I totally understand why people in Atherton wouldn't want people like me as their neighbor. I'm not goofy enough to think we'd be best buds if only given the…
Jesus. I can't even be bothered to keep going with this.
Yes, obviously the danger of getting passed by a much faster silent vehicle is much less in an area with low traffic density, low intersection density, yada yada. I'm glad we finally got to the bottom of your confusion.
Is there anyone that genuinely wants people a few steps down financially from them living near by them? If you make $150k being an decent but not fantastic engineer and you get into a nice enough neighborhood, are you…
Heck, even the safety aspect. And the mining of materials. The recycling aspect (or lack there of), or the disposability of the vehicles if the battery/charging system bricks itself. The Chevy Volt forums are full of…
Either dodge chargers in your area don't have the loud exhausts that they do here in California, or you have a problem of some sort. Loud noises bounce off the road, off buildings. Basically the reason you can hear…
It can be a response to people taking a handful of incidents and ignoring the millions of safe and courteous police interactions a year. So while it may have been a response to cries about police violence, it doesn't…
And here I was thinking it was used by people that appreciate their local police force and understand the stresses they are under.
Atleast when a Dodge Charger is charging up from behind, I can hear the thing. Pedestrians can hear the thing. When the demographic that currently commits most reckless driving eventually adopts electric cars, it's…
I'm sitting in a car with 150k miles on it, with the original windshield. It has one chip from when I followed a gravel truck too closely once. Sometimes I even take it to a carwash in the summer with a baking hot…
Why do you think that is? It works great here for companies (Nordstrom, Costco, even Walmart)
Car dealerships do favors constantly for repeat customers that don't haggle to death during the purchase process.
A vehicle needing a repair that costs 50% of its new MSRP is extremely rare, outside of a few electric vehicle battery packs. In addition, when a vehicle reaches the point where any common repair costs more than it's…
I was in Northern Vietnam in 2019, happily riding my rental scooter around. I ride right past a dog on a rotisserie. I stopped to talk to the guy and he showed me his sign that said Dog Meat. After learning the words…
