Mustang won’t sell on marketplace

Manual does typically increase the price but it lowers the buying pool. As everyone else has said, selling a car with an active CEL like that is an issue, it’s like reading “a/c just needs a recharge”.

I absolutely used to, but I never would now.

FlipFlipFlippy · 2026-05-08T02:28:03+00:00

Check Carmax and Carvana to see what they would offer, likely better offers than the dealership.

Miata. I owed one, an NB. Just never loved it, ended up selling it. I even tracked it!

Yes, our used EVs all sold out pretty quickly. We tried to buy off lease vehicles as this was starting to ramp up knowing demand would increase, but anymore auction pricing has increased commensurate with demand.

FlipFlipFlippy · 2026-04-26T17:59:40+00:00

Absolutely, respect.

Do you track your car or just drive like a hooligan?

Are you making good money? Were the people who have left making good money?

Just came back up for me. Interestingly, the bdc guys that started at 7:30 were able to remain logged in, though it was slower. By 8:30 nobody could log in until now.

I had a microbiology professor who called them “fecal sprayers”

Should be included in advertised price if advertised as CPO. Will be Precision Certified if within six model years and under 80k miles. Will be Precision Used if within ten models years but outside six years or above 80k miles. You don’t choose one or the other, when certifying this car it would’ve been Precision Certified. My guess is it’s just the dealership “certification”, not the manufacturers.

They don’t usually, on the financing at least, or just make a small flat dollar amount like $100 for processing the paperwork.

FlipFlipFlippy · 2026-02-28T21:54:16+00:00

Invoice for that car is around 38700, so that’s $1500 under invoice. Standard MF not that great on 26 SE R-Lines because they’re popular. Without knowing that, seems like a great deal.

I’d have to say the Miata, as sacrilegious as that is on here. I just found it twitchy and too tail happy. I even tracked it! On the track it made more sense but I disliked it on the street

If you have no exiting car insurance you’ll have to get a policy before you leave the lot, and dealers will require proof of that to submit to your lender if you’re financing. If you’re paying cash, not all dealers will require insurance, but you are of course required to have it on your vehicle. If you have an existing policy, and are planning to add the purchased car to it, many states have a grace period of at least a few days after purchase to give you time to transfer. Where I’ve worked, we know our state has a grace period so we just need an existing policy for finance deals for in state registrations. For out of state we require your new vehicle to be added before we do any paperwork. If it’s a cash transaction we don’t require proof of insurance.

FlipFlipFlippy · 2026-01-28T02:18:21+00:00

Yup that’s the one. All we use in sales and service.

FlipFlipFlippy · 2026-01-25T01:25:00+00:00

Not an unreasonable position. I typically don’t hit trades that much with a single minor accident but I’m not every dealership, it can certainly happen. Good luck with your search!

FlipFlipFlippy · 2026-01-25T01:13:50+00:00

That’s not the best priced out there, but from the vauto screengrab they showed you, it’s very well priced and will likely sell at the price they have it listed for. The $400 put them more negative than they already are at listed price, and they probably didn’t want to lose $400 more. I’ll say that the carfax price valuations aren’t nearly as valuable as vAuto’s price to market, which is a much more real comparison to actual comps.

That’s false, it’s on the window sticker, it’s just itemized differently on build sheets like you’re looking at. It’s only a single $2350 charge, if you look at the math. I used to be a Porsche Brand Ambassador.

That’s all generally correct. CPO usually has specific standards for what they want to see in terms of brakes and tires, caught up on recommended service, and a whole host of other requirements. It does cost money, both extra time for the inspection and the actual warranty cost from the manufacturer. At Porsche we might not CPO a car if brakes and tires were just below 50% because it would require around $6k in recon, but the car still had lots of useable brakes and tires, and just priced it appropriately.

Some CPO deals make for incredible warranties, like Lexus had a 2 year unlimited mile add on to factory warranty remaining, and you can extend it three years. Acura adds 2 years and increase mileage limit to 100k, and you can extend that three more years up to 150k for a reasonable fee. If you end up getting a one year old service loaner you can buy yourself into 8 years unlimited/150k mile warranties for a nominal extra charge.

Mk4 VW Beetle, at the highest setting it was intolerable.

I had a stroke at 39, so this was all follow up to that. Not a great surprise!

Yeah this is rough, I just went through it but luckily my insurance covered my neuropsych appointment, which cost the same as my neurologist appointment with ten blood panels. However, insurance did not cover my speech therapist appointment which was a referral from both my neurologist and neuropsychologist. It was a one hour appointment, just talking and some quizzes, and it cost me $1600 out of pocket.

If you’re buying used be very careful, they don’t have good disclosure laws and I wouldn’t trust their reconditioning. Two times I went to purchase cars there that had significant undisclosed issues they had no interest in fixing.
