There are always folks with 400-500,000 miles on one after a couple timing chains. Generally a base 5 sp cobalt is more reliable than its boxy twin the HHR, I’m no fan of higher trims or the automatic xmsn on these cars as there is just more to break. Same for sport and SS models, rarer more...

Maybe in 2015, rusted out ss’s sell for the same 50 cents of scrap as base. Only thing that may be better are seats. Sort of like the guy who discovers his $1500 k car has a turbo ,thus is now $25000

If I could find an HHR like that but with a manual transmission I would definitely buy, I’ve been running my rusted out 2010 Cobalt into the ground and would replace with another Looks like dealers are still smoking crack, trying to get the price it sold for new

Many stores no longer sell Sony products, box stores are all LG/Samsung and Chinese phantom brands.

16% reduction in f-series sales but a 50% reduction in profit

He vehicle prices outside the us are very high for wrecks which means many repros still just get branded and sent to foreign markets, that market is starting to slow as well. If they are bailed to just pack farm fields full of new trucks we won’t see prices move much

I was having problems getting a motel Roku to display OTA TV (the only tv they had) It didn’t want to go to the tuner Agreed, new Walmart TVs are getting where they don’t want to do a thing without internet. I watch tv where there is no internet or cable, feels like I will need to buy a...

EPA, crash, vehicle platform/vehicle footprint pollution laws are very lax the bigger you go. A double bang of a perceived higher sales price but lower cost of production means they don’t want to make what the majority of Americans would actually want/afford.

Long ago Nearing the last financial crisis when fuel was also $4+ , housing wasn’t selling and Ford was dumping production into fields . I bought a 40,000 mile ~5 year old Dodge Ram 1500 club cab v8 (not a base) for $5000

Gotta dream

Whether they have a UL stamp or not past experience says it may not actually be.

Your thinking AWD J-code with oversized tires that someone turned up the pump and retarded timing (these do require a simple timing occasionally or you loose 2-3 mpg) C-code 2wds were difficult not to get 20mpg if you kept stock tire size and gear ratios. First my father than I was required to...

Not really It was a 2wd half ton Got 21mpg pulling a little enclosed trailer Got 21mpg in town in the winter Got 21mpg on the highway Had a slow c-code motor and stock 15” rims. The other 2wd suburbans I had were different The 93 gas was 20mpg highway but 13-15 city. The 89 6.2 with a 5 speed...

When you were required to change transmission fluid every 30,000 miles you also had to change oil every 500-1000 miles. Sounds like a garbage design if you have burned fluid every 30,000 miles my 1982 Diesel suburban had 438,000 miles turbo 400 and had the transmission fluid changed every...

My fathers 60’s era car required Xmsn fluid changes every 60,000 miles. My 2013 era says first change at 150,000 miles What is the deal with changing transmission fluid as often as you change oil? These modern transmissions are so unreliable they burn fluid in 10,000 miles?

Very good chance fleet managers and local GM dealership bulk oils are very familiar with those oils you never heard of. Those producers are likely local across the street from Regional dealer networks and motor pools with deals they can’t refuse

People are hording water, shelf stable foods and apparently motor oil. (Aka oil isn’t the only thing I’ve seen out of stock weeks at a time the last 3 months) There is a legitimate shortage of “fresh produce “ spreading that is assumed to be heading to acute in 2-3 months. Due to the record...

It’s funny that they continue to use the wine cask measurements when oil has been shipped in 55 gallon barrels far longer than it was shipped in 42 gallon wine casks. Steel has been the standard since early 1900’s and pretty much universally is 55 gallons. I get that a barrel is a unit of...

Most private party cars that aren’t a scammer look as pictured. The rest are either priced above the dealer or are a flipper hiding behind a private party posting
