I hate dealerships... But I'm going to one after work to check out a vehicle I'm interested in.
The family of dealerships has a split personality, it seems, with thousands of positive reviews from their new car side, but... Pretty poor reviews on the used car side. Needless to say, I'm going in skeptical.

Tesla. They are surprisingly affordable*
*After considering how unaffordable all other new cars are.
Nope. Never gonna get a car with GPS/tracking. Besides, I only buy cars with a manual transmission. 😁
Solid point #1.
The transmission *could* be considered manual in that there is only one gear. But yes you lose the fun of shifting, but you gain the fun of instant always there torque. It's about an even trade off.
It's not so much about the fun of shifting, just the fact that engineers are either bad at transmission tuning or are hogtied by emissions BS. With a manual transmission, I can drive it as I please.
what car are you looking at?
stick shift is so hard to find these days
A Honda Element. I am looking for something a bit bigger and still very reliable. This fits the bill even if it's older. I'm older. I don't mind. 😅

Yeah... I don't need a project. Lol
Not everything is a 1960 toyota pickup from the columbian cartel 😅
Particularly if you dont want a gulag tech car the second hand sellers have great descriptions and records of the state of vehicles they are selling. In the US you are looking at no later than 2014.
That is a fair point, but I'm already in the process of setting how bad my credit is. 😅
Until you have a major component repair.
Welp, I'm buying an Element. Terms aren't too horrific. Needs a few things and some help from a friend who is good with paint for some peeling clearcoat, but... It's sound mechanically and I love the color. 😁
