What's Everybody Driving These Days? Vehicles are so Overpriced it's Sickening! | |

Right now the "average" car price paid in November 2022 was $47,820 It's forecasted to get to $58K in 2023, and $72K in 2024. That's how they'll get the results of "You'll own nothing and be happy". It's way past time for people to start exacting street justice. |

In his poem Human Pride, Marx admits that his aim is not to improve the world, reform or revolutionize it, but simply to ruin it and enjoy it being ruined: With disdain I will throw my gauntlet full in the face of the world, And see the collapse of this pygmy giant whose fall will not stifle my ardor. Then will I wander godlike and victorious through the ruins of the world And, giving my words an active force, I will feel equal to the Creator. “Looking for consciousness in the brain is like looking in the radio for the announcer.” – Nasseim Haramein, Director of Research for the Resonance Project |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 84803112 United States 12/30/2022 11:37 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I look for deals. I found a 2009 Cadillac CTS4 with 44k miles for $13,500. I fixed a bushing on the rear shock and it drives like a new car. It's the 305hp direct injection model. It has a perfect interior and no dents. Other than not having navigation it's pimped out with leather seats. I dive with comfort and power at a fraction of the price of a new one. A new CTS is around $50k and the CTSV is $100k. Always look for the deals and you can avoid extreme car payments. Also a lot of people have no insurance. When they plow into your 100k car, you will never be the same. If the car is fixed it will depreciate big time and you will have drive train issues later on. |
