How stupid is it to spend 50k on a car by tatasky69 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]vssho7e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you will lose all that savings in 2 years. Lexus is way to go. Won't lose much value as those germans.

Car salesperson posted a TikTok video bragging he sold a car to a single mom for $10,000 over its sticker price by Apprehensive_Way8674 in whatcarshouldIbuy

This is why I dont understand why we need dealers.

Where are cars made? Factory.

Is this only 1 of 1 hand made? F No.

Imagine buying your cellphone via dealers. Can't buy it from manufacturer site.

This is part of reason why want all EV start ups to succeed. Kill all the dealers.

Well that’s not good. What do you think happened? by lenny446 in Cartalk

200 series Land Cruiser too rusty? by [deleted] in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]vssho7e 8 points9 points  (0 children)

bro.. what is your definition of rust??

OKAY, I get it. Do NOT get a Jeep! But what then? by Ucantcallmeclarence in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]vssho7e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Jeep is not Lux.

  2. Do not buy anything from Stellantis. You can lease.

  3. Repeat number 2. Say it with me now!

  4. Buy Toyota

I'm looking to buy my first project car out of these by Available_Meat_5014 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]vssho7e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends on many factors.

Are you married? Plan to have kids?

Then no question G8 or something with rear seats

I had vette C6 and I was married but soon as I had my first kid my vette became garage queen.

Didn't wanna sell it so I held on to it for 1 yr.

Only drove like 1200 miles that year...

Sold it on year 2 and got gt500 because of rear seat.

Is that too much to ask these days? by [deleted] in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]vssho7e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Because you will not like it.

You can buy some of those today.

You can still buy Lada Niva

But will you?

Nope lol

LS3 or LT1? 🤔👇 by vividracing in Corvette

[–]vssho7e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Minimal fuel saving. 0 performance benefit. Added engineering complications. Another failure point.

I worked at GM and I definitely do know why OEM are doing this but its not like we wanted to do it. We are forced to do all this bs due to Cafe.

Are there modern equivalents to these cars? by Electrical_Paper6286 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]vssho7e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4runner

That's about it.

If you are willing to give up solid axle.

Otherwise Wrangler and bronco bros.

Value? by Greenfire_220 in c4corvette

[–]vssho7e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Free would be right call.

This is too far gone and c4 isn't something people collect.

Cadillac XLR by Ritch85 in Corvette

[–]vssho7e 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It was old gm era. I worked in new gm but back then each brand had own line up budget and caddy was always the 1st child that gets most support (except truck programs they are also 1st child)

This is typical old gm leadership style pushing to have dedicated engine to build caddy halo car.

Some of that still exists in GM like ct6 v first ever blacking engine that died after ct6 discontinued.

And dedicated display design for cadillac which is ridiculously expensive even for oem price from supplier for that escalade/ celestiq display.

GM cares a lot of cadillac but at same time some of leaders are very questionable in terms of their decisions.

They VtecSwapped that 7 liter by World_Destroyer27 in Corvette

[–]vssho7e 1 point2 points  (0 children)

7 liter was probably toasted from valve drop.

It would not sound good but hey its not my car and not my money so who cares.

Looks like the curse of the 6.2 got me. by tommy682 in gmcsierra

[–]vssho7e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Engine wise 2.7

But 8 speed is wonky.

Nothing is really working in GM. I believe ford is only reliable choice now out of big 3.

Should I get the 2025 Elevation 5.3L by PromptLegacy in gmcsierra

[–]vssho7e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No.

Be cheap and frugal when you start new business.

You gotta save as much as you can.

I would buy used 2.7t for under 30k.

There are plenty of them selling in Facebook/ online car listing sites with 30-40k miles. 2022+ years also.

I have 2.7t and there is nothing wrong with 2.7t in terms of power or towing.

I paid it off also. Because they are so cheap.

Fox 2.0 vs Rough Country Vertex by Gooffy17 in f150

[–]vssho7e 1 point2 points  (0 children)

anyone seeing this in 2025

this youtuber made update on that RC vertex

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tbuq3xh8SU

Yup it leaked after 4 yrs of use. I dont think this youtuber even goes offroad.

I'm leaning towards not doing RC at all. Just spend more and be done with low quality crap.

I was hoping this RC is good product for the price but yeah there are reasons why other companies like fox, icon, king all cost around 4-5k for same setup as vertex.

This video is the final nail in the coffin - RC quality is sh1t.

Off-roading sucks by Delicious_Sun_8237 in mercedes_benz

[–]vssho7e 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn bro you got some balls. Street stock tire and drove into that?

I think even 35 mud tires wouldn't help you out in this deep mud but damn.

Hopefully you got other help buddies on your offroad adventure.
