JohnJ Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Things winding down for me at the place that has been my HQ since before 1970. Kind of got a mild sentimental case of the blues. Well not really, did you know that with prices going up so bad on even used vehicles that for $2k more than I was thinking of having to spend I could get a Mercedes M class? I'm looking at <80k miles. Yea that's without taxes though. then the upkeep, nope won't be happening for me! So taking a break and found this on the tv, sounds like crap but I can hear the potential of the LP. Thanks @Dave1291 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Used cars have taken a huge rise lately. Way more so than what most people need to spend on. I had a neighbor sell out and go to their retirement place recently. Could have bought his car for a sweet price in great shape and flipped it for more, but I am not the flipping type, and I really didn't need another car. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 @oldtimer it was something I read then looked into. Domestic and Oriental SUVs went way up. Apparently the ones that were $$ already did not so the Audis, BMWs the Mercedes GLC class also look to be within reach if only considering the purchase price! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 This was a Mazda. Sweet deal but I really just didn't want another car. If I knew anyone here was in the market I would have done something about it. Low miles, the works. Their small crossover or suv, whatever people label these things. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtimer Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 That one would hold maybe one scala at a time. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on the model BMW But if the seats fold down to make a large boot, then I would say yep no problem 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subway Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 "Sometimes I think it's a sin when I feel like I'm winning when I'm losing again." Song reminds me of bipolar ex-girlfriend. My experience: the hotter-the crazier. Best wishes on move JohnJ ("has been my HQ since before 1970"). Second song below was released in 1970.

JohnJ Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Would you look into (not at) the dark lacquer on that little gem! The book in the glove-box of our old Impala said it was Mirror-Magic Lacquer that chevy used back then. @CWOReilly The pair? At once? @grasshopper pulled a similar feat with a small vehicle that had an alarming amount of square footage inside a couple years ago! For what I have to work with I'll probably rent a van for the haul. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
