minus-squaredazzlingclitgamelinkfedilinkarrow-up4·8 hours agoHave you seen the prices of used cars these days? Who has that kind of money in cash and isn’t in the financial position to buy new?
minus-squareover_cloxlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down2·8 hours agoI’m literally trying to hock off a 1995 GMC Sonoma for $400 right now. Nobody seems to want it. New battery and new keys and it should run just fine.
minus-squaredazzlingclitgamelinkfedilinkarrow-up3·8 hours agoYeah…it’s a 1995 and who knows how long it will last on the road before falling apart. Just because you have a single used car you’re trying to sell for cheap doesn’t make the entirety of used cars suddenly more affordable.
minus-squareover_cloxlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down2·8 hours agoBitch bitch, $400, take it or leave it. I really don’t understand why people complain, either fix it up or sell it for scrap metal, why is it so difficult to sell a truck for $400?
minus-squaredazzlingclitgamelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·8 hours agoIt’s not just $400 - you listed out like $1,000 worth of repairs it needs before it can be driven.
minus-squareover_cloxlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down1·8 hours agoI can crank it with tweezers if I needed to. $1000? Where the fuck do you get your parts from? $200 worth of parts would totally fix this thing right up properly.
minus-squaredazzlingclitgamelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·8 hours agoA battery, ignition lock, and new key is not just $200
minus-squareover_cloxlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·8 hours agoWhere do you live, and why are they stealing your money like that to even say such things to me? Car battery ≈ $120 Ignition lock+Key ≈ $60 Are you shitting me, or are you really telling me that everyone has accepted getting ripped the fuck off?
minus-squaredazzlingclitgamelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·8 hours agoThose estimate signs are doing a lot of heavy lifting for you and you’re underestimating those costs. Maybe in bumfuck Mississippi those are regular prices, but I doubt it.
