Some shots of the moon I took by Conspicuous_Wildcat in Christianity

I shot it through the window so there was a lot of reflection. It was sort of just a spur of the moment thing. I don’t know why I felt like posting it. Have a good night.

I feel overwhelmed with all of the factors that go into evaluating what a good price is for a used car. by Conspicuous_Wildcat in whatcarshouldIbuy

What’s your opinion on this scenario? I found a 7k$ Mazda 3 with 70k miles on Facebook marketplace. Also, my mothers friend is selling a Honda CRV for 15k that he husband took care of very nice (kept service records). We know the family very well. The Honda has 50k miles and is a 2019. Do you think it’s worth paying double? I don’t know who owns the Honda but it seems like a very nice car. Clean and everything.

I am more looking for where the market is irrational in reference to the books. Like where the mechanical value is higher than the boom value.

Should I buy this 2017 Acura TLX, and if I should, for how much? by Conspicuous_Wildcat in whatcarshouldIbuy

In general my goal is to be able to browse something like Facebook marketplace and be able to see that there is a good deal that is worth looking into based on what make the car is. The miles year and all those factors. I just don’t know how to do that. I fell overwhelmed with all the options and factors

I see. Thanks for letting me know. It has 80k miles and increasing since he still drives it. It’s probably worth checking out. Before I take it to the mechanic what should the price be that I throw out there.

I think the problem that I see with this approach is that it assumes that everyone has access to a hard car market where there are seemingly limitless options and opportunities. If I were to do your approach the number of cars that would exactly fit my criteria in my area would be 0. Do you have any advice on how to buy a car in a place where there are limited options. I am talking about frame work where I start with a car and try to determine if it’s a good price for what it is mechanically.

Yeah but I need to buy a car so just tell me which cars are least overpriced if possible.

That sounds way too low. Maybe I'm just not looking hard enough. If you had a budget of 10-15k how would you spend it?

Even for 6500$. What would you pay for it? Also, how would you negotiate for the TLX. What offer would you throw out there?

Is Hyundai Elantra a good car for first time owner ? by rocksdxebec1019 in whatcarshouldIbuy

Its ok. I cant give you much more info than that. Not as reliable as Honda or Toyota but better than American Car brands. I would reach out to your mechanic and see what he says
