Damn, you can get used cars for $3500? Damn, the floor is like $10k cad (7500usd?) here for something that runs and drives. Registerable can be an extra bit more. Everyone here "knows what they have" and is gouging way above value.

The car market in NA was already bad and got super fucked by COVID supply chain issues that never really got fixed

Also made worse by our protectionist car import regulations. Can’t get any of those sweet $5k Asian made cars

Was the floor lacking and you had to pedal it by running your bare feet on the road underneath?

My 2003 Honda CR-V is probably worth ~£1000 if I were to sell it today, and other than a dead AC, it runs perfectly fine.

None of the vehicles i've owned were ever over 5 grand, but i also have an absurd amount of luck when it comes to deals.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
