SWMBA is looking at the 2006 R series. Around here they have dropped half retail in only two years. Either they are total crap and really were worth $25k new, or ....
I think that there is no way a car built today will be functional in any shape within a decade of driving off dealer lot. The things are just not built to last the way car were when I grew up. Will there really be a dedicated support system in place for the detroit iron being peddled now? I fail to see how or why anybody would fall in love with the garbage out there today. Can we actually shade tree these cars? I suspect the things will come off lease, get sold to a sucker who will drive them for four year and junk them when it become too expensive to replace the clapped out electronics. The stupid cars and truck do not even look distinctive enough to engender primal feelings. The cars all look the same. Rounded turds made of plastic and tinfoil with styrofoam bumpers. Mercedes cars have lost their DNA and morphed into japo-buggies that meet wind tunnel test needs, but not the lust in the heart of a driver. clay On 30 Jul 2008, at 20:11, Wonko the Sane wrote: > If you can drive it for ten years (not unrealistic for today's > automobiles) > then you end up not underwater. > > That being said, the day I win PowerBall will be the next time I > buy a new > car or motorcycle.
