You're probably right :lol

tbh a fun thing to build could be a scraper that...

1) scrapes leasehacker for various broker deals, reading spreadsheets
2) replies to every reddit "what car should I buy/lease" post with the better deal if their deal is shit

OR

1) scrape the dashboard light website or even better, alldata's failure tool that tells you how often a repair is
2) reply to ppl and tell them how shit the car they're looking at is

Many dealerships have a tool that does exactly that - used primarily to help sales managers evaluate trade-ins and price used cars for the retail market according to retail and wholesale market data. It takes into account several factors, such as mileage, number of units on the market, average days on market, location of the vehicle, vehicle condition etc. to help managers determine an appropriate asking price.

I imagine there's enough data in there to model a depreciation curve for most vehicles, but from personal experience, it does nothing for niche vehicles based on how much I've been lowballed in the past.

In your mind, who are the main users for the site?

Us! How much time are we all spending on our spreadsheets that we could've been using doing more valuable things with our lives?!

Somebody could've automated all that. I'd even be willing to pay something for that time back, and maybe other people would too.

I see a business opportunity brewing.

West Coast Toyota did a sheet with that info for the original owner of our old Matrix when the lady bought it. The service intervals are all available so you just need the pricing of those services and then you'll know what it costs per km/year of ownership.

Change the fluids, check the plugs yourself, leave the rest alone.

So I went to fill up the gas on my ratrolla (I don’t remember when’s the last time I filled her up, it’s been that long). I went to this shell station on garden city.

I told the young East Indian lady attendant that I don’t need help, I’ll do it myself. I go inside to use the tap function (stupid shell doesn’t have tap on the pump, not sure why)

and when I come out, I see this Asian lady posing next to the car , leaning her ass against it, and taking selfies. I don’t even know where the fuck she came from.

I go up to her and was like, can I help you? She looked shocked. Then she said went utterly insane and said HEY DONT TOUCH MY CAR. I was like what the fuck!? She’s then said shit in mandarin like, this is my car walk away please. Then she tried to get in the passenger side, but since the door handles were retracted she didn’t know how to open them. So I stand there looking shocked like what the fuck is happening, and she tells me to go away or else her husband will be mad!

She then turns her phone on me and start filming me. I guess in case I fucking attack her or something. And she says shit in mandarin like this guy is trying to steal my car!

Just for background, I was wearing my usual Kirkland flip flops, some bench sweat pants, and a very ugly t shirt that value village probably won’t even sell. So I guess I do look like a fucking hobo….

So now I’m just confused, slightly aroused (actually more than slightly), and utterly not sure of what to do next. So I take out the key and press the unlock button and of course the door handles pop out. This bitch then stops filming and of course runs the hell away.

I kinda wanna chase her down and fuck her in the ass…. That kind of crazy is hot as hell. Worst part about it, I didn’t even fucking get a photo of her or a video!! Arrrghh

This story went in a direction I didn’t expect

:worthless:

Dashcam video of this please.

Useless, I got nothing cuz the car was off. I just checked it. I thought this fucking this was wired in, but now I’m worried cuz it doesn’t seem to record when the car is off. This ghetto thinkware dashcam is probably dead.

Didn't know there was a mint local 97 ITR. Sold for 67,000 USD on BAT.

Then there is this yellow ITR. Sold for 204,000 USD.

^ that's racist ... but true.

Just specced out the new beetle Turbo S for $340K... and I didnt even go heavy on the options. (Why isn't the top spec beetle fully optioned?)

At this price I don't see the value proposition compared to ferrari/lambo/mclaren anymore. If you wanted to stunt, most girls cant tell the difference between a base cayman and the turbo S.

Do girls even care about these cars anymore? :confused:

value? what fucking value. Most overrated piece of shit car in the last 10 years. I dont know why everyone's got their dicks up supporting this catastrophe of a company.

Like i keep saying time and time again, a 911 was and always had been (pre 997 days) only 7-10k more than a m3. For that amount of money extra, you get a weird ass backwards sports car. Fine.. its at least Interesting.... I agree with this money proposition and marketing placement. It drives quite well with the hydraulic steering and the manual trans on the 997 was a fun little sports car.

nowadays its almost 100k more than a relative m3 and what the fuck do you get? a stripper base interior that looks the same as my hilterbox, digital gauges, even the left turn key has turned into a shitty start button. 220k easily for a trash ass base model carrera that has a subawuuuu engine, trash interior, and not even properly spec'd options. All the while the exterior has grown so large its basically a full size 7 series sedan and yet it still has that goofy fucking beetle face. Why is a beetle in the same price category as a base model ferrari? why is a beetle more money than an aston vantage? These people are insane. Anyone who buys one needs to be executed for supporting fascism. its a fucking beetle, not a god damn exotic car. You can price it like an exotic car, but you're literally in the same company as when those beetles were selling for sub 20k (996's) 10-15 years ago.

was she hot?

Current M cars are actually cheaper than previous gens when you consider inflation and the weak CAD.

Beetle turbos were a value all in one supercar that offered a manual and reliability. But now no more manual, a model 3 performance offer the same 0-100 speed and modern day ferrari/lambos are not unreliable as the old days (mclaren still bad I heard)

no really... i mean the craziness adds some points but physically she's pretty meh. plain jane looking asian woman... probably late 30's early 40's.

agreed! m3/m4's the best performance buy right now. When a lousy 3 cylinder gr corolla is 60k, the performance you get on a base model m3 with a stick is perfect. i built one out the other day, 1600 a month, zero down. Thats basically what the GR corolla is on a lease.

1600 a month + insurance + gas is mental for a car tho lol

I guess you can live in the car ?

yeah but that's the going rate for anything special. That ionic 5N is 1300 a month too.

but 4000 a month for a lousy beetle is a bridge too far.

Now that I know your limits, I will be able to exploit them in battle

X3M Competition had 0.01% lease rate with loyalty..

Buddy got one for $1200 CAD taxes in - insane.

Downpayment?
