Gah, I just bought the stuff to change the oil myself. I really should take it to the dealer so there's better documentation. I record everything I do to all the cars, but I know it needs to be on the fax. We're not going to off the Volt anytime soon, but I know it's going to happen within 5 years.
I still enjoy commuting in it. It's been my primary car for months now, zero interest in getting rid of it.

At first I thought... wow with the hemi... you just undo that hideous front end and throw those wheels into the scrap yard and you're good. But it is just a bunch of fake news inside that thing. Holy fuckballs.KYGTIGuy wrote: ↑Wed Oct 24, 2018 2:22 pm 87k invested....

You got 3 vehicles to keep you entertained. Why get rid of it? If you get tired switch to the when tired of that the plastic fantastic, when tired of that back to the civic lookalike for derping.

People are absolute turd buckets. Most can't afford new cars but do it anyways. But you know what... it makes it easy to shine. If you have 1/2 a brain you can be better than 99% of talking wallets.Johnny_P wrote: ↑Wed Oct 24, 2018 2:35 pm https://jalopnik.com/more-than-half-of- ... 1829964502

They're not even nice cars.
My guess is that taxes and real estate are too high for real car ownership

Why? plenty of them are at ~3xx a month. The question is why is someone trying to get out of a 3xx monthly payment. How poor can you be? That's cheaper than most buyhere pay here lots.

I rarely drive the truck anymore, drives it mostly. I thought about leasing another , but meh. I'll just keep the Volt because I prefer commuting in it.

How do I find out the rules? Don't see it in the listing
I see offers for cheap leases but they include high due at signing amounts.
Or are you referring to that site specifically?

I just looked through that site. If the vehicle is coming from a private party, you can negotiate as the "money down" is to them not to the vehicle manufacturer. For example Peter Poon paid me $2600 to take over the M3 lease.
You got paid to take over the lease. Trying to wrap my head around this
