The flat isn’t fixable. A nice gash in the sidewalk from hitting a pothole or road imperfection “just right.” I’ll measure the tread depth, but I’m going to go with the assumption that the tires are at least 2/3rds towards the end of their usable life. With winter approaching and my wife using it more, I’m going to look into replacing all four.

And, while I may not be chronic, I am (finally) a car buyer! Tonight, I became the proud owner of a 2010 Mazda 3s Sport hatchback. Bought from a long standing, family owned Mazda dealer, single owner, very well serviced car.
Will actually be registered in my son's name, he will now have a crash course on real world finance as he'll be paying for insurance, gas and maintenance. Poor soul.
Watch out breld, the pump is primed!

For a nearly 10 yo car, it's in decent shape, especially the interior. Wheels are a bit rashed though, but as I earlier noted, newish Conti Extreme Contact DWS06 tires. And, winter mats! Two sets of keys!
Of course, getting a hold of the boy to finalize the sale (register in his name & insurance) is like trying to wrangle sheep; "Saturday's no good dad, I'm going to U New Hampster to visit a friend..." Dude, we just bought you a car! Friend must be a girl...

Thanks, it looks solid...for now! It won't be garaged going forward.
I just have this bad feeling that he won't be able to maintain his paid internship, which means he can't pay for the car upkeep... But, he worked all summer and did get an internship this semester, so probably just my general paranoia. Which is well founded, as everybody's out to get me!

I had to do a spreadsheet to remember them all. But I didn't bother to add in what happened to them. Majority were private sales. No totals. 1 to Carvana. and I think just 2 traded in. A couple lease returns.
that is out of 40+ cars.

1 to Class Action Lawsuit Buyback (Diesel-Gate).
A unique category! I'd probably lump it to "Lemon buybacks" but I've had none of those (though the Neon should have been!!!).
@qbrozen - what auction number do you put on it?
Inspection tomorrow am
They have agreed to 20k for my GL350

Sounds like a solid car - I looked at those pretty closely when they were new. They got a bad rap for the “smiley” face, but I still think it’s a sharp car.

For reference, I got $46k trade on mine, which was consistent with Q’s estimate. It was also an ‘18 Prestige with the adaptive suspension, but it had significantly more miles at 37k miles.

Yep-it’s an 8 hour drive but I’ll stay south of Nashville TN and hopefully get out early- again assuming inspection goes ok
And, I dropped the Tahoe off this afternoon. The guys at the shop immediately said they suspected a bad battery cable. I told them I could see corrosion on the negative cable, but didn't know whether it was bad enough to cause a problem. I told them to go ahead and change the oil (using the second and final one from the Groupon package I bought), since it will expire in a couple of months anyway.

What I find interesting is the different upcharges vary greatly by manufacturer. Kia charges a couple of hundred bucks for premium paint, GM is a range from $500 to $1100, and brands like BMW and M-B charge $1K or more for certain colors. I am most familiar with GM and note that up until recently they would usually offer solid white, black or Quicksilver as standard no-charge paints. Now silver is $500 and often either solid non-metallic black or white may not even be available on certain models.
