Sup /o/
Got a small inheritance and I've always wanted to run a used car lot. I have access to a good spot.
Aside from the fun of being able to go to auctions and whip the shit out of cars (and I live very close to a large used car auction hub- so there's used car lots every half mile around me), I think I could make it into a fun attraction. One of those spots where there's what look like a half dozen businesses and things going on, operated by one company.
Hear me out- people go to Vegas, they know, deep down they KNOW they're going to have their money taken, but they go for the experience.
What if you made shopping for a used car more like that? Kind of an amusement park, vegas, tourist trap kinda experience. I could go all out, get an oldschool retired salesman who does the four squares thing, and have him ham it up with people. I know there's gotta be guys like that who want to get out of the house but don't want to be a walmart greeter, and I saw one of them, perfectly coiffed white hair, plaid sportcoat and all, at my local Chevy dealer a few years ago, so I KNOW they still exist.
Also I read the backstory to Rent A Wreck, so I'd play off that for a while. Ugly beat up cars with reliable drive trains and nothing dangerous going on.
A food truck, cracker barrel style merchandise, etc. Hold an auction for a car every week.
Anyway, it's just a thought I have in my head.

Got one. And I'm shopping for a Miata kart shell to stuff a 1UZFE into. I'm here to talk about making the used car experience fucking awesome and worth bringing out the whole family for, not my regular /o/shit

Benz if you want to look classy. BMW or the Audi if you want to look like a brand whore douchebag.
>>
Mercedes > Lexus > BMW > Audi >>>>>>Cadillac
Also Audi shouldn't be in "the big 3".

>>17692542
Which classes are you looking at I can give you an opinion on Audis since I'm a tech at a stealership but research all three and if possible test drive them all.

Easy as piss.

The only benefit of a manual is you can push start the car. Other than that, modern automatics are better in every way possible. Anyone who tells you otherwise is just poor or stupid

Don't give them bright ideas. And fingerprints aren't that secure.

Friday night I got fired from a shitty retail job at American Eagle. Customers and coworkers alike were fucking assholes and I was fired over bullshit reasons. I got so mad I keyed almost every single car in the mall parking lot cuz fuck everyone there.
I thought I was being discrete enough cause I was walking between cars just doing one long line each on one side. Apparently mall security received a cell phone video from someone inside one of the cars I keyed that I didn't notice and they turned it in. I was identified and they want to question me tomorrow.
I only keyed about 30-40 cars and it's literally just a line down one side, couldn't possibly be that much damage. How fucked am I? How do I get out of this?

Not alone, but my friend just got back from being away all summer and we went out and drove around in the rain and I drifted a little and we just kind of caught up. It was really nice.

It being hybrid makes it awful.
The 660 on the other hand...

its based on the insight chassis and is loaded with useless hybrid tech when it could've just been a smaller fit with a shitbox engine.

Great car, safer and faster than original CRX while still looking good. Has some decent aftermarket and used prices have dropped significantly, what's not to like?

You knew what you were getting yourself into.
If you had made a thread here before you went to the dealership everyone would have told you to buy from craiglist but you didn't want to listen to us and now you've come back crying for help.

It's a miata with a hardtop. More expensive and heavier, but still has the miata magic. Apparently the top down experience is worse than the soft top though with the fancier bodywork behind the driver.

If I had one I'd probably never have the top down anyway, all I've ever wanted is a Miata coupe and this is the closest we can have in the US market.

Newbie here, how is it in comparison with a BMW 1 Series of this year?
