Horrible Time To Car Shop

Not a lie. 2005 Chevy Silverado, good shape, $3,500.

No drivetrain.

Wow. Clown show. A decently running '05 Silverado with typical mileage should only go for $5k-ish in a typical market.

Hell, I got offered $15k cash in a parking lot a couple months ago for my '95 Land Cruiser with 384k miles but those are kind of turning into unicorns now and the whole "overlander" craze has made them highly sought after.

I prefer to buy new vs used --- but primarily because we tend to keep our vehicles as long as humanly possible.  

Whether you go new or used, -- while it needs to be adjusted slightly for today's world, the goal is to keep the car long enough that it averages out to have cost just $0.10/mile.

My VW salesman called me today, he said 2/3 of his cars are sold before they even get delivered off the truck, i.d.4 has a months long waiting list.

My buddy waited 8 months for a tesla.  Drove it 1500 miles in 2 months and sold it for a 14000 dollar profit

I saw someone selling 14 year old BMW 3 series with over 120k miles for $15k.  Mind blowing.  Also 9 year old KIA soul with 170k miles for $9k.

People are actually buying new cars, mark them up and trying to resell them for $10-$15k more.  Crazy stuff.  Market is not normal at all.

Any German luxury vehicle that's over 5 years old and/or has over 75k miles on it... don't walk away, fuging RUN.

A college buddy of mine's dad managed a DC area BMW dealership. His old saying was "if you can't afford a BMW with a factory warranty on it then you sure as hell can't afford one out of warranty."

A former neighbor had an Audi that lived in the shop. It was probably only 5-6 years old and had under 100k miles. He said it couldn't enter the shop without at least a $1500 bill. He traded it for a brand new loaded Chevy Duramax diesel. He swore the payments on that truck totaled less per year than the maintenance on that Audi. 😂

    • I can't help but think that you are equating physical attributes alone with wins. I don't subscribe to that thought. No one will argue that Young has a strong arm, but he makes up for it in other ways. The real limitation for him is he needs good route runners with great hands. That's why Young was so good at the end of the 24 season. Thielen and Coker were perfect receivers for him and he had his best games with them. Not having them to start the 25 season hurt. Look at the first 10 games in 25 with a rookie receiver and no Coker and then look at the final 7 games with a more experienced rookie and Coker back and there is a telling difference in Young's performance. Prior to week 10, Young had 1 game with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and 6 games with a rating below 90. In the last 7 games with Coker back, Young had 3 games with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and only 2 games with a rating below 90. The tools a QB has to work with matter more than their arm strength.  To go back to Darnold and Stafford, yes they both have great arm strength but neither had much success with that alone. As I already pointed out, Stafford, even with a canon for an arm, only had 4 winning seasons in his first 12 years. It was only when he went to the right environment that he had true success.
    • I don't love this role for him if I'm being totally honest The pregame show is much more flash than substance and doesn't seem like the right fit for what Luke would bring to the table, and that's his vision of the game. I'd like to see him do something where it more involves him breaking down film and explaining what he's seeing out there, as he sees the game in a way very few ever have.
