I like to sell at Carmax but I will NEVER buy there again ... -- vt90 05/03/2022 11:04AM
But that's not on Carmax. That's on the previous owners who wrecked them. ** -- great2bahokie 05/03/2022 11:12AM
Agree somewhat ... and some of it is on me frankly because I could have ... -- vt90 05/03/2022 11:19AM
What you hope is their inspections catch most of the cars with issues -- EDGEMAN 05/03/2022 1:54PM
Having worked at Enterprise for many years, yes most of those cars are -- VT Pez4Life 05/03/2022 12:05PM
After seeing some of my friends drive rental cars... -- EDGEMAN 05/03/2022 1:55PM
Amen. ** -- VT Pez4Life 05/03/2022 1:56PM
That's where most car dealers get their inventory, from auctions. Except -- Brown Water 05/03/2022 11:29AM
Exactly. They keep the best for their used car lot and sell the rest... -- EDGEMAN 05/03/2022 1:56PM

Good luck. Nobody has them ** -- fordham 05/03/2022 10:34AM
Look around online for volume-based dealers (there's still a few left) -- D Hokie 05/03/2022 10:17AM
Isn't there a Corvette dealer in NJ that has similar great deals? ** -- EDGEMAN 05/03/2022 1:49PM
Dodge and jeep have much higher inventories -- GreenvilleVT 05/03/2022 11:06AM

Interesting...i like the way you think. -- kingofcassell 05/03/2022 10:22AM
That may or may not turn anything up. I ended up on a RAM forum -- D Hokie 05/03/2022 10:27AM

Like is the van just being held together by duct tape? why are you hoping -- VT Pez4Life 05/03/2022 10:22AM
I've got a 2007 Honda Odyssey. Get on my level!!!!!!! ** -- BG Hokie 05/03/2022 11:12AM
No, the van is fine, but I don't like dumping money into something as it -- reestuart 05/03/2022 10:28AM
Out of curiosity, are repair prices inflated too -- Tafkam Hokie 05/03/2022 10:07AM
I’ve noticed parts at the box stores are higher -- Brewing_Hokie 05/03/2022 12:32PM
I honestly don't know. It seemed like a bunch, but at the same time, -- reestuart 05/03/2022 10:22AM

We have had 3 suburbans in a row- and prob not another one- they are -- bigbadbird 05/03/2022 09:41AM
Yep, it'll cost $50k to replace my F150. And a used one is almost as bad. ** -- HokieNoVA 05/03/2022 10:50AM
Miss the room of the Tahoe we owned...don't miss the 12-15 mpg ** -- Tuckahokie 05/03/2022 10:04AM

Pardon my ignorance here -- kingofcassell 05/03/2022 09:34AM
To add to the "good" news You also need to factor in the rising interest -> -- HOKIERIT 05/03/2022 10:27AM
I've never payed sticker price for used or new. Never will. ** -- HokieJay 05/03/2022 10:24AM
I certainly hope I can say the same. Thankfully, not thinking about a new -- BG Hokie 05/03/2022 10:27AM
Yeah, I'm going to have to be patient this time. ** -- HokieJay 05/03/2022 10:28AM
You'll probably need to wait 2 more years to find that, unless... -- EDGEMAN 05/03/2022 1:40PM
I typically buy 3 year old, low mileage used. That will be a very tough... -- HokieJay 05/03/2022 2:30PM
It is a bad time to buy a vehicle, but as you mention the next few years -- HortHokie 05/03/2022 09:47AM
This is my concern no guarantee waiting a few years will be better -- kingofcassell 05/03/2022 10:04AM
General inflation concerns, I get, but won't chip manufacturing catch up? ** -- BG Hokie 05/03/2022 10:29AM
I've read that ~90% of computer chips come from Taiwan -- kingofcassell 05/03/2022 10:38AM
I think the CHICOMs are twisting free China's arms to keep chip... -- EDGEMAN 05/03/2022 1:43PM
I wouldn't try to tie personal finance choices to geopolitical possibility -- Synaesthesia 05/03/2022 12:12PM
There is a fair amount of chip manufacturing being re-sourced to the US -- Tafkam Hokie 05/03/2022 11:05AM
Would love to see China be taken completely out of the equation. -- EDGEMAN 05/03/2022 1:44PM

MSRP used to be not even the real starting point, they'd advertise it for -- ME Hokie 07 05/03/2022 09:43AM
Pre-2019 there was plenty of room to negotiate price on new cars -- Tafkam Hokie 05/03/2022 09:40AM
Would leasing a new car be a better option today...? -- kingofcassell 05/03/2022 09:47AM
The new mileage rules coming might make it worse- alot worse ** -- bigbadbird 05/03/2022 09:51AM
