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. 😂

    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
