What the HELL is up with the price of cars?

I have a 2011 Nissan titan 4x4 I got a real good deal on used 3 years back because it was scratched up . it had 101,000 on the odometer and I've driven it another 60g without so much as a taillight burning out.the other dya when i ws getting ti inspected another man with a 06 titan was getting his inspected nd it hd 380g on the odometer and purred like a kitten. He said he's hd to replace the exhaust and the alternator and had no major problems , brakes tires, batteries, the usual

Nissans are under rated and though not as stylish as toyotas, just as solid mechanically.

down here in Texas you see Nissan hardbody 4cylinders from the 80's all over the place and you can only guess how many miles are on them because they have the old style odometers.

NEVER buy a new car, it depreciates the instant you drive it off the lot, you're paying for the new car smell.


it might break down five miles later, being new is no guarantee it is mechanically sound

Its funny you mentioned that because I almost had my wife convinced to get one.. I mean, I was working on her for fucking 7 months building up the jeeps as godly vehicles..

Then one day she goes for lunch with her co-worker and they were walking up to her vehicle and my wife says, oh my husband has a hardon for these jeeps... Then the co-worker fucked it all up from there on out. Tells my wife it was her childhood dream vehicle etc but she regrets buying it.. then they get going down the road and you have to understand the street roads up here are like fucked up beyond anything you can imagine.. I am talking downtown Baghdad after shock and awe fucked..
So the jeeps bouncing all over the god damn road and my wife hated the ride lol.. She didn't like the interior etc..
She didn't realize I wanted the damn thing because of the beefy suspension for these awful street roads that are akin to offroading..

Anyways, she found that used colorado truck and it was like 10k cheaper than the brand new ones cause it was slightly used up to 20k km's..
Then just recently her other co-worker purchased one of those new jeep wrangler trucks.. Dukes of hazzard orange lol.. It looked decent but I was more impressed with how well built the under carriage and suspension was.. Dude paid something like 90k CDN.. unreal..

The Colorodo is a known piece of shit, bad engine, bad chassis ,and bad transmission

good luck, you're going to need it

NEVER buy any GM truck unless it predates 1995

oh, and you're head gasket is blown, coolant leaking into the combustion chambers. they often blow in a few miles on that particular v6 block due to a fundamental engine defect

I remember living in Pennsylvania years ago and it sucked having to get your vehicle inspected every year and of course if you took it to a tire shop they always said you needed new tires/muffler shop, new muffler etc. Talk about a rat race

The car companies have an overstock of thousands of cars parked out in the middle of nowhere that never sold. Consumers are paying for that BS. Look up youtubes of it.

Most old cars they wouldn't even pass

I read that online as well.. It must be hit or miss cause my buddy has one and it doesn't seem to do it. His was 2016 model.

Gas mileage is a joke. Nikola Tesla ran his vehicle with a free energy device. He never used gas or oil.

in rural Texas they don't even care if you have a real exhaust, lot of people running straight pipes to headers and if the tires ain't completely bald they're good to go

I bought a nissan rogue brand new with zero miles for 27,000. Its probably worth in 1999 prices about 21. Why do you retards buy trucks the size of small houses if you cant afford them. Their are endless used lots and literally millions of cars on the secondary market. My god.

I just "built" me a Range Rover on their website and get this, total price with everything I selected is $252,656.

Over a quarter of a Million Dollars for a fuckin POS Range Rover! One of the biggest rolling pieces of crap on the road.

as i understand it there are two different gaskets , the newer ones used a different gasket because the old ones were blowing due to thermal expansion differential issues where the heads get hotter than the block due to a restricted coolant flow. The newer ones were even worst for some reason, and replacement will run you close to 2700. The solution is to remove the radiator cap and drive a different brand truck underneath it

I had a 1998 Corolla held together with Crazy Glue, bungee cords, magnets and junkyard parts that got over 250,000 miles. I got 20 good years out of that car before it finally died. I bought a 2 year old car with 10 years or 100,000 miles warranty and the dealer offered 20 years on the powertrain or 200,000 miles. I hate to owe anything on a car, but I plan to ride this one until one of us dies.

LOL, when the commercial comes on and the guy is surprising his wife with a big ass new truck and a big new suburban type - and they are standing outside the house with the 10K payment a month - all I can think is " are you people stupid?" Or, does the auto manufacturer think we're all stupid?

i like to look down on the little people...
and get 10 miles to the Iraqi baby


but seriously, i drive a large truck because i need the towing capacity...when i want good mileage i ride the hog

I have a Toyota RAV4 and I am considering trading in for a Subaru Forester..The RAV4 has a crummy heater and I freeze driving to work here in northern Idaho. Also, the visibility is lacking and I hit my head getting in and out of the driver's side because the angle of the door frame. I am not a guy so I am looking for something in the SUV style.

Any advice? Thanks.

Local dealer has 2020 chevy sparks for $10,500.
Myself, I buy a $1000 car as needed, repair myself. Got a 1999 ford contour in 2005 for $1000. Drove it 200k miles till the second trans blew in 2015. Now in a prius stuck at 299k,getting 55mpg.

He's not the only ass-clown that's put a million miles on a Toyota. The reason is they are highway miles, which is roughly equivalent to 1/10 city (stop & go) miles.

Toyota engines are massive oil burners. The 4 cylinders have shitty oil pump gaskets. The metal toyota makes nuts and bolts out of disintegrates in areas where the roads are salted.

i knew a girl back in the day who had an old 70's vintage corolla rust bucket, she just turned the radio up louder when it made a new noise.

we don't know how many miles it had on it because the speedometer cable broke at about 200,000, but when the body finally rotted completely away and broke in half crossing railroad track, it was knocking, creaking, groaning, ticking, hissing, screeching and some other noise i don't' know quite how to describe...toyotas earned their reputation for reliability

Lies lies lies

👍

Trucks are big, ugly and stupid just like the alcoholic retards who drive them.

Women don’t like you or your lifesized tonka.

The exception of course is people that have a business like an s-corporation and lease them and deduct every cent from their taxes. e.g. farmers who get government checks every year for not growing food to control market prices buying 150,000 dollar duallys that they can deduct from their business expenses

Dirty commies.

That's what.

Everything in this world is overpriced. Especially rent, where you been OP in yo mama's basement?

the most reliable care ever built- early 2000's mercury marquis with 4.6 liter . Once you replace the fucked up plastic intake manifold [which costs $250 aftermrket and is easy to replace yourself] just goes and goes and goes, even the exhaust was perfect when i traded it at 470k. never replaced an alternator, water pump , fuel pump or any of the other shit that always seems to go out, it was bulletproof and always ran like a top

sour grapes, suck my carbon footprint

LOL - what world are you living in? I drive a Toyota Takoma and I am a woman. You can get by with a car in the city if you are just your typical suburbanite, but in the country you need a truck.
