    Can everyone quit giving me shit?

    I got a 1995 GMC Sonoma for sale right now, only asking $400

    Yeah it needs a little work, it needs a new battery and new key+ignition lock.

    Fuck, where the fuck you people getting used vehicles for $10K?

      People will quit giving you shit when you stop floundering around and wondering why people would buy a new car instead of a used car.

      Not THAT many people live in bumfuck Mississippi where things are dirt cheap out of your backyard. Not to mention you’re selling a car for $400 and then saying it needs like $1,000 in repairs before it can be driven. Slimy.

        Live in the Chicago area, have never paid more than $3300 for a used car. You need to stop going to carmax and start looking a private party.

        It only needs about $200 repairs, dunno where the hell you folks keep pulling $1000 out of your collective asses

          You gonna install all that for free?

          Batteries alone start at $200.

          You’re in south Mississippi. Enough said, dude. That’s why everything is cheap and you’re trying to sell a non-running car for $400.

            I didn’t say the truck doesn’t run, it absolutely does.

            It just needs a new battery and such as I said.

            I dunno, I just wanna sell the truck before someone steals it.

              Big picture here - just because you have a single used car for sale at $400 doesn’t make used cars in general affordable.

                No, they are more affordable. The most I have ever put into a used car is about $12000. That was the purchase price, plus repairs, and some paint work. I had it for 11 years before selling it for $3800. Where does your new car get 11 years for $8000 in repairs and maintenance; it doesn’t. Used never makes sense to buy.

                Small picture here is that many people are eyeballing to steal it.

                So fuckit, might as well let the truck get stolen, it’s not even that hard to crank.

                Thanks for the advice…
