Do You Feel Bad For People Who Spend Way Too Much On A Car?
Do You Feel Bad For People Who Spend Way Too Much On A Car?-June 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:09:55

Now before you get all riled up, the video below is a parody. The couple had a Tesla Model X for a 24-hour test drive. They thought it was cool, but couldn’t get over the price and ultimately gave it back. But it’s made me wonder something else: do you ever feel bad when people buy something they shouldn’t have?

This video comes from Eric B. Shanks, a well-known editor and producer, which explains how slick it is. And you might feel bad for their imagined situation here—or not.

Purchases like this happen more often than you’d think. Hell, take the Tesla Model 3 for example. Hundreds of thousands of people have put down cold, hard cash on a car that isn’t even completely designed yet. And despite the Model X’s and problematic, , Tesla is not being overwhelmed with cancelations on those orders. Same with other automakers. Go to any luxury car dealer and you will find nice, expensive cars that were returned with only a few thousand miles on them.

It doesn’t matter if you’re spending $15,000 or $150,000 on a car—don’t be like the characters in this video. Do some research as to whether or not the car you like is going to work for you.

At $5,900, Is This 1984 Nissan 720 4X4 A Solid Deal?
According to its seller, today’s Nissan 4X4 shows “pride of ownership.” Let’s see if it would take swallowing one’s pride to pay its asking price. Opinions were split on how well the design of yesterday’s has held up over the years. Some of you commented that the design still...

At $950, Would You Go All-In On This 1984 Plymouth Colt GTS Turbo Project?
One of the calling cards of today’s Plymouth Colt is its “Twin Stick” overdrive gear change, which gives the car eight speeds going forward and two in reverse. Let’s see if this project car has anything else to offer. Just as Goldilocks discovered when appropriating Papa Bear’s lifestyle and...

The seller of today’s Caddy claims they should be selling it at auction but says who’s got time for that? Let’s see if we have the time for this custom convertible at its non-auction price. Many of you agreed that the $950 asked for yesterday’s was “chump change.” Even...

The (and Tacoma) have a death grip on used values. It’s been this way for years. Go ahead, go try and buy any TRD trim that’s a couple of years old; it’ll cost you as much as a new one — not that you could buy a new one...

At $18,500, Would You Lean Toward Buying This 2022 Ford Mustang?
Today’s Mustang is being sold by a towing yard, which means it’s probably a lien sale. Let’s see if this clean title convertible is priced to put a new buyer on the hook. The general consensus on last Friday’s was that it would be the perfect car for someone...
