Personally I'm depressed about the situation. I don't care what people say anymore. I no longer trust clunkers. I no longer trust used cars. I no longer trust nor can afford semi-used cars. And I sure don't have the money for a new car!
Didn't you used to have a Beetle? They are still out there. Mine in a carport under a car cover.

I'm having pretty good luck with a 1990 Metro, even if it's like a UFO under the hood. Thousand dollar car with 200 in tires. All it needs is tie rods ends and a cat-back exhaust system. I favor a passenger side pipe so I can smoothen the underbody.

Looking forward, the only company that is cutting prices and preserving margins is Tesla. I heard it said that doubling the production numbers reduces selling price by 15%. ....each time.

Who will be first with a sub$20K bullet-proof paintless hot hatchback out of Mexico?
