There Are Few Horrors Worse Than a Highly-Depreciated German Luxury Car: COTD
Dear readers, I have an affliction. I make bad car buying decisions. I own six Smart cars, and I keep buying Volkswagens that burn me. Yet, I never learn my lesson! Today, I showed you this by writing about very cheap Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDIs for sale. Look, there’s a reason people joke that cheap German cars are some of the most expensive cars you can buy.
I’m not surprised to see few people interested, but the responses were fantastic.
Aaronaut kicks it off:
Volkswagen’s Craziest Modern SUV Has A V10 Twin Turbo Diesel And You Can Buy One For Dirt Cheap BUT FUCKING DON’T
And Nsane In The MembraNe chimed in:
I admire the absurdity that was the Piëch era, but I know to do so from afar.
And StillNotATony:
I’m on to you Mercedes! You’ve been talking about thinning your fleet, and this is a CLASSIC pump-and-dump! You’re telling us how great this car is riiiiight before you try to unload it. You gotta get up pretty early in the morning to put one over on me!
Don’t worry, I’m not selling mine anytime soon! But, I guess I’m trying to get one of you to join me in the madness?
Today, Jason wrote about how Ford has patented a midgate for the Maverick, which is pretty cool! But it’s also sort of half-baked, as BolognaBurrito notes:
Nice. Would be nicer if you could get the glass out of the way too like GM’s mid-gate.
Rad Barchetta makes a good point here:
Getting the glass out of the way is easy. Getting it back in is the hard part.
This morning, the Morning Dump covered how yep, cars are still pretty darn expensive. Gubbin’s comment is fitting:
Finance department be all: Is it worth it? Let me work it I put my thing down, flip it and reverse it ti esrever dna ti pilf ,nwod gniht ym tuP ti esrever dna ti pilf ,nwod gniht ym tuP If you got a big [kaching!] let me search ya And find out how hard I gotta work ya
Have a great evening, everyone! Comment of the day, COTD!
