:fullretard: sellers strike again... just like the Desert dealings. I don’t understand people who are “selling” their cars only to disappear 1/2 way through the transaction due to excuses that make absolutely no sense.
It's odd. He responded to my initial e-mail within 30 minutes. I responded to his 15 minutes after that with a few more simple questions...basically how much of the AC and cruise was removed and is there any rust?

That was 36 hours ago. Silence.

I'm not going to e-mail him again because that's a sign that I want it and puts me at a disadvantage with negotiating. If he wants to sell it, he'll respond. If not, whatever. CL claims it's been listed for over a month.

Seems like you made the better choice, than showing up at her workplace and demanding the keys after throwing the money at her face.

It isn't a Yuge vehicle and not that great to look at. But it is a far better value than most things on the market. They are decent off road also. More than most of us are willing to put the vehicles through.

The only "better" value is a bare bonez Crosstranny for 23k. Which is never going to depreciate beyond 16-18k over the next 5 years.

Crosstrans is in contention if the hybrid adds any performance to it. I mean it should, but who really knows. The last crosstrek hybrid suuuuucked.

Cherokee.... I very strongly preferred the lizard front end it used to have, not this #metoo corporate face slap on nose job.

Even at $10K off, those Cherokees are on a bullet train straight to depreciation hell.

Doesn't matter if you hold forever. Not like a Rav 4 will fare any better. All these cars are boring ass depreciation machines that no one can afford who is buying them.
The second the market hits the shit all those people are going to be underwater and crying like they were with their retarded ass home purchases waiting for handouts.

Yep, which is why you damn well better love the thing if you're gonna sign up for it. And why I'm hesitant, especially considering that doomed 9AT which I hear has received incremental improvements but still behaves similar to the 2014 I test drove which was :gag: plus the fact that I really don't like what they did to the design of the thing with the refresh.

The way most people should look at their vehicles is as completely sunk cost. Worth $0 the second you drive it off the lot, unless you paid in cash.
That'll make quite a few retarded decisions such as being "upside down" on a vehicle disappear. But :whocares: because I CAN AFFORD THE MONTHLY.

Come drive the Renegade sometime.

It's not great, but it's nowhere near as awful as the 2014-15's.
