Most autos and maybe hookers built in the last 30 years are reliable if you keep dumping money into them.Quote:

Interesting. I wonder over say, a 20 year span, what would have higher running cost, a hooker with a coke habit or a Testarossa?
Interesting.Quote:

You don't keep the same hooker for 20 years. That's not how that works. The Lambo is going to be a lot more presentable and fun to be around than a hooker with an additional 20 years on the clock.
Edit:. My bad. Ferrari.
I aim to find out. I choose a 250TR. Accepting applications for the other slot, er, spot.Quote:

Just come to Upper Michigan…
This isn’t even really that abnormal:

We’ll find you a proper piece of shit car, shit I bet most of the others posted here have intact floorboards…hah!
Yabba Dabba Dooo!
Mud bringing it. Nice.
In the south it took about five minutes of searching, dilapidated takes on a whole new meaning down here.
only one accident, Rodchester NY bred; bonus points for sweet color!
DO IT!

Hahaha. Even I have my limits as to how much I'll lower my standards. I'd have more dignity pulling night shift as a lot lizard than buy a PT Cruiser, and that's being generous.Quote:

For a fleeting moment, I had the bright idea (along with everybody else apparently) to buy a wrecked or broken Tesla to learn more about EVs, thinking I'd switch career gears and go into EV repair. Been perusing auctions and salvage site and your post is EXACTLY what I've been coming across. Saw a Model X that was totally crushed, completely burnt to a crisp, and didn't even resemble a vehicle at all, and THAT was going for over $20K. Damn. Tesla parts must be REALLY hard to come by if people are parting out these examples that have nothing usable left and they're going for such exorbitant prices. Eff this car market!Quote:

It's not just that. There are $2000+ repairs that, of course, a Toyota owner will go for, because even at well over 100K, the car's still worth a fair bit more than that (and it's going to be a reliable car after the repair, right?); whereas the same problem on a Chevy Cruze will be "eh, junk it." Thus, a rep for quality and reliability is somewhat self-perpetuating.Quote:

As for Consumer Reports, they're pretty good in their most familiar domains. Recreational gear or something, forget it; I've seen bike reviews that are a joke. And with cars, you need to read between the lines, to make sure the factors counting towards a higher or lower score are things that you even care about.
lol @ the Tesla. That's got to be troll, no? Is there really 10k worth of battery/controllers there?
