Did pass the BMW/Mini store a few miles down and they seemed to have plenty of vehicles to sell. But at a much higher price point I'm guessing.
In time though, things should be getting back to normal and so glad I'm not in the market right now for a different vehicle. As usual, timing in life is always a factor!!

And I'm definitely not guaranteeing the accuracy of any dealer's "online inventory".
The closest Honda dealer shows 38 Accords. No idea if they are actually sitting there on the ground, but they all show a VIN number and a stock number.
The Ford dealer shows 23 F150's. But only 4 of them are "in stock". The rest are "dealer ordered" or "in transit" or blank. He also has 8 Explorers in stock. The last time I was there truck shopping (2018), he probably had at least 150 new F150s on the ground.

Still looks and drives great, miles are 104k: This is the car where I'll be the 3rd and 5th owner come Friday
The second owner maintained it by the book, brake fluid flushes, transmission service, Michelins.
My kind of car.. except for the transmission.
I'm still hoping for a VIN and a build date on the Impreza I ordered in early April.
In this crazy market, what's the Fusion worth?
Thanks in advance -mathias

This is part of why.
Those people are few and far between, in my experience. What’s much more common are people who go by the monthly payment. They pay almost no attention to the cost, or the interest rate, or what they’re getting for their trade in.

I’m sorry… what EVO is this? We’re talking the mitsu EVO, right? I just took a quick browse and the most expensive one to cross the block in recent months was a 2014 MR in outstanding condition with 40k miles. Sold for $31.5k.

This was during the late-90s tech boom, though. One can understand
What I'm trying to say is, a lot of folks are delusional in weird ways. They're not stupid, but there is something in their personality that makes them act in stupid ways. The difference is, of course, mostly academic at that point.

In any case, consider selling privately for $12k.

"Oh it gets worse, he bought it over the weekend, said they wouldn't budge on price. While he was negotiating, another salesperson came in and said he had someone also interested in the vehicle. I asked if he fell for that, and said fell for what? Also mentioned it's a 7 year loan, and come to find out when he said he paid off his EVO, he took out 401k money to do so..".
What do you say to this guy when he spews his awful car buying decisions all over you? I'm guessing not much, & what good would it do?--I doubt he'd listen. Is he young-ish? The $4K ext. warranty is the topper, for me.
My last questionable car buying decision was to buy a used '98 Range Rover around year 2000 (for cash). But it only had 36K miles, & 18 months of warranty left. BEAUTIFUL luxury vehicle; Oxford Blue with "light stone leather" interior. I bailed when it had only 6 months of warranty left, & ate around $10K for the year of ownership. In retrospect, I don't regret it, but it made me way more frugal with my car-buying $$.....
On the other hand, my 2016 Town & Country is listed on Carvana for $20,990 (insane) and they show it as purchase pending. I wouldn't have the nerve to look someone in the face and ask for that price.
Which leads me to ask, "What is valid reasonable behavior in the midst of insanity?"

Several of us have told him he was making a mistake. He has complained about $ since he started five years ago. He's single, mid-50s, which I think is why he bought the EVO although it hasn't gotten him anywhere. He's still paying for student loans, moved from Denver to the western plains because it was cheaper, thinks his student loans will be forgiven if he stays with the company for 10 years. He said he did his research, although I showed him what was provided here, no names of course! He tries to convince everyone that he knows what he's talking about but we all know otherwise. I even told him once, you're not gonna convince me, I think you're trying to reassure yourself with this bad decision. We talked vacations in a team meeting yesterday, he said he's taking the week of the 4th off but not going anywhere, can't afford it! So we all just shake our heads, I think he was hoping we'd all agree.

When I bought my mom’s house I borrowed enough on the mortgage to buy an E24 M6. I sold it for $500 less than what I paid for it three years later. Questionable? Yes- I never should have sold it.

And I’m curious how that dealer made out with my truck. @qbrozen, if it isn’t too much trouble, could you check the auction listings and see if you can find that for me?
2018 Ford F150 XLT Supercrew, white gold, just under 9k miles, VIN 1FTEW1CP5JKC43635
This is in Houston, Texas.
I sold that to the dealer on 4/22/2021 for $37.5k, and he told me he planned to flip it at the auction “next week”. When I asked what he expected to get at auction, he said about $39k. Don’t get me wrong, he was a nice polite young man, and I hope he made a good profit. But I am curious!
By the way, how are you doing with those “slipped ribs”? That sounded really uncomfortable when I looked it up and read about it.
Your truck got a pretty poor condition report. The trucks above and below it got near $40k but that one, given the rating, only got $36.5k.
It is feeling much better. No more popping and the pain is down to that of a faded but deep bruise. Thank you for asking.

I wonder if the truck received a "poor condition" report due to the stolen panels?
I feel for that dealer who bought my truck, losing a quick thousand dollars has to hurt. I feel sure he'll make it up somewhere else, but that still has to hurt.
I absolutely cannot understand the "poor" condition report. The only flaw or blemish on that truck was the marring of the cloth cover on the center console / arm rest. The exterior was perfect, there was no curb rash on the wheels. And the interior was 100% perfect with the exception of the center console.
Oh, wait a minute.... The truck had weathertech floor liners, front and rear, in very good condition. What if they (the dealer I sold to) took out the floor liners, and there was no cover on the floors at all? (The original floor mats were long gone.)
Likewise, there was a good heavy duty rubber bed mat in the bed. If that were taken, then there would be some scratches showing on the bottom of the bed. No dings or dents, but scratches from sliding in and out lumber. Would those kinds of things result in a "poor condition report"?
And one other thing -- the head restraint for that center chunk of the front seat would have been missing. I always take that out when I buy a new truck, it gets in the way if you always keep that center chunk folded down for an arm rest. I didn't think about that until I ran across that head restraint the other day in my storage building. I actually found 3 of 'em, from my last 3 new trucks, and the original floor mats for all 3 trucks. Anyone need OEM floor mats or head restraints for an F150?
Those sound like little things. It very well could be the paint meter showing those replaced panels. That sounds more likely the culprit.
Was it just the hood? I forget.

Any chance you can see what this is worth? Drove it today, it's overpriced as is everything these days, but if they want to overpay for my Model3 I wouldn't mind getting back into an SUV until Rivian gets their act together.

$29k is auction estimate. May want to get an inspection because the report states 1 panel has a substandard repair. I’m going to try to paste pics of the report here.

Thanks again for the info.
I really expected Rivian would have their vehicles out by now but they're behind on deliveries and not sharing much on timelines and unfortunately there's nothing else in the EV world that would really do what I want.
