Hopefully get at least another $2k without much trouble. Haven't negotiated yet. They'll get it back in premiums for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does it take to make it driveable and modestly cosmetically acceptable? Anyway to end up with money in your pocket and still drive that car for 6 months, a year, 2 years? then go buy a different one? I'm just thinking of how to leverage for YOUR upside $$ . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drroogh Posted November 23, 2022 Report Share Posted November 23, 2022 (edited) Not just physical damage, I had a really good mechanic in rural Georgia. Found him on recommendation from some high end people two counties away. He knew I worked for a company making commercial Ice machines. He asked about what refrigerants we were using. As we talked about the direction the regulations were heading, he confessed he couldn’t afford to keep up with upgrades to his AC equipment. I noticed my son’s new bar refrigerator ran on Pentane. New regulations, much higher cost!! Edited November 23, 2022 by Drroogh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrflynn03 Posted December 2, 2022 Report Share Posted December 2, 2022 Has anyone used Carvana? I like the idea of clicking a few buttons and have a car delivered.

They handled the financing directly with his bank and everything else. He highly recommended! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used car lots are pretty bare right now and I don't know if I could even find what I want. Just like any used car take it to your local mechanic and have them do a pre-purchase inspection. It’s usually $80-$100. Any mechanic worthwhile will know what to look for and have the ability to put it on a lift to find the things you might not see. Getting someone else’s problem is always my concern when it comes to used cars. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since cars are now considered just disposable, impersonal commodities, why not get something plug and play. gone are the days of having a sense of pride in your ride for us urban honkies. But down here in Bama, the brothers still got some killer old school hoopty lead sleds! I kinda envy them while crusin my 07’ ford ranger….

If you haven't looked at their stock price you may want to before you buy something from them. Looks like they are on the verge of going out of business...quickly. In the last year the stock price was $245+. Today it's $4.97 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrflynn03 Posted December 29, 2022 Report Share Posted December 29, 2022 Used car prices are down 8% from last November. Think I'll manage for a while longer and see if they drop more before I buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say late 2023 would be a good time. Of course there are always deals if you are willing to scour the market and travel. My son just bought a 2020 Ram 1500 for $6k under the market price. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not familiar with their terms, but I would suspect there is a sizable down payment before delivery. You could easily lose that with their financial troubles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
