Funny, back in 2008 when gas was $4.25/gallon you could have picked those up for pennies.Yes. A robust drivetrain all around. Still not a quick vehicle, by any means. But capable and comfortable. Not sure how far I'll take the bidding. These can go for big bucks, relatively.Look, I'm high bidder for probably the next 30 secs.The underside looks great! I don't remember these being built with the 5.3 L V8. That's the good transmission from GM too, correct?

That's a nice spec, too, on that Q5 - good find though and probably saved yourself a world of issues.

The is is enjoyable reading, following along with the quests going on. And makes me really glad I am not in the market for a used car.

Re: Chronic Car Buyers Anonymous
Wow. How did we survive before Google?That’s an interesting turn of events. You seem to assume the dealer got scammed but how can you be sure HE isn’t the scammer? I find it hard to believe a car dealer wouldn’t be able to do the same check you did.
Here is that Q5 I was looking at:
https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/inventorylisting/vdp.action?listingId=407736297#listing=407736297
Got an email this morn from seller. Price dropped to 11,995 this morn. Hey, GREAT deal, which of course makes me suspicious. I start texting with him. Carfax says all is well. But, wait, I run it through Manheim and the autocheck says branded title. So I let him know "I didn't know it was branded. No thanks." He is confused. I tell him to check autocheck. Says he will. Then I google the VIN. Low and behold, this thing comes up as sold through Copart almost 5 years ago with nearly 4 times the current mileage! He is understandably baffled. I sent him the following link and said I hope he can get his money back because they were scammed.

Re: Chronic Car Buyers Anonymous
100% on not being in the used market right now. That Q5 was downright crazy.

Re: Chronic Car Buyers Anonymous
Makes the days of the cheap $225 sign and drive leases for decent cars and $300 for something kind of nice look like nirvana.
