And Because We Like Cars

I can’t see paying over sticker price for a car. Local dealer had one in the spring for $104k. Sticker was $93k and it was sold in three days.

 

So?

I bet it’s less than the sales tax and that doesn’t stop anyone from buying the car of their dreams .

 

Doesn’t stop anyone that wants it .

anyone who can pay for a hellcat can afford the extra $2k for the gas guzzler tax .

what’s really funny to me is everyone worries about the mpg of a vehicle when the depreciation costs far more than the gasoline it consumes .

I buy used gas guzzlers that are near the bottom of their depreciation cycle , so I don’t lose much , if any on that,
That way the 11.5 MPG from a full size V8 4wd vehicle doesn’t hurt so much

 

And who worries about the MPG of anything you drop a Hellcat engine in anyway?

You're trying to twist the driveshaft and axles off, not doing a swap to drive it miserly??
I wouldn't care if it got 10 MPG, as long as that mile was under 35 seconds.

I saw a guy once do a hole shot from around 7,000 RPM, real impressive - for like 2 feet,
and the driveshaft came apart at the rear, bit in the ground, and threw the back
up in the air like a pole vault, sparks and flames ensued. Fun times.

 

Here’s a couple I sold last year
1 a 65 chevelle ss all original with 40k miles, guy like Gas Monkey pulled up with a bag of cash when he seen it in my yard and I happened to be outside
Gave the cash. Said take it to the bank. If legit bring the car and title, he had no clue who I was or if I was going to skip town
Owns a few companies in town

The other was a 69 with all modern update, Caltrac suspension, LS3 modded vette engine with a guess of 600++HP, could break the tires at 50mph like it would at a light
