Are the C8s impossible to get ? I seem to see them online listed from people at 100k ... whereas the MSRPs around 60-98k...

Looks like yes... it's not even listed on their site :wtf: https://www.chevrolet.com/locate-inventory

Also, they still make the Spark and the Express? :impressive:

I think everything "hot" is impossible to get. The 392 Wrangler is fake news.........none on ebay, none on AT, even for insane markups. There are also plenty of 85K Rubicons with bro parts and Pentastars.
New GC looks like a ship. Is that thing going to have any offroad capability, it looks like a Tahoe. Can't buy any decent guns. People just sitting around in their homes hoarding shit. God damn we need to get rid of this pandemic so people can start pissing money away at DisneyWorld and I can scoop up all their hoarded shit at fire sale prices after uncontrolled travel spending and $6 gas runs everyone out of money.

I wouldn’t expect fire sales. This is how’s it’s gonna be. Once there are fire sales .. guess who won’t have money... everyone

Welcome to the club, amigo. I never understand who the hell is buying all of this.

I am a car guy through and through, no kids, pretty decent income and it's just a hard :nope:

I think I really would go out and buy a Lotus if they were still $30-40K... but nah.

I mean 70K for a Dodge TRX is a fair price, seems like a lot on offer for that money. Hellcat, fancy suspension, no longer a cuck, etc. But 125K? For a pickup? :ayfkm:

Most of us do not have the ability or space or time or some combination of those things. I wish I was skilled and had the drive to accomplish such a thing.

1/2 price. Far more desirable IMHO.

I think these are about bottomed out if you don't put 50k miles on one. They've been 65K used for nearly a decade.
