Both have had 'offers' on them, and I just smile and say 'not for sale.' There is no way I would pay $40,000+ for a new car! These car manufacturers are nuts to expect people whose income does not grow at the same rate as inflation to spend that on a vehicle! Hope they are happy with their inventory!

It was the second year of production and most of the bugs in the first production year had been discovered and corrected. I'm fairly certain the real sized spare is the original spare! Thank goodness, never used! My RSX was the last year made in 2006 until Acura came out this year with a 4-door.

I bought a 2017 Ford Fusion 2.5 years ago from a Ford Dealership with a full Ford Warranty. It had ~50k miles on it. It is now in the shop for the 4th time for transmission issues (~64k miles). I contacted an attorney that specializes in "lemon laws". I gave them copies of the repairs orders for the last 3 times my car was in the shop. They think there is a case. Once the 4th repair (transmission overhaul) is done and they can review that work order, they will make a case against Ford. They charge $4,500, but if we win, Ford pays that and then will make a settlement with me. What that settlement will be is yet to be revealed.

My gas engine's ignition system, both in the distributor and combustion chamber, probably?

There are plenty of people making good money and can afford these prices. And the ones that can’t buy them anyway. I know a guy that spent 20 years digging himself out of the financial hole he was in. As soon as he was debt free he bought a brand new 4Runner with a 7 year loan and 700$ a month payments. Doesn’t haul anything, has grown children and only bought it because he had one when he was younger when his debt first started. He’s still working 7 days a week just to keep his head above water.

If that’s true Scotty then why are Tesla’s forums and messages sites full of people who ordered a Tesla some back in May, desperate to find out when they’ll get their car.
