I find you can trust very few. That said, a lazy car salesman is an honest car salesman. It's not worth the effort to hide the flaws. I'll just chop a few hundred off and move on to the next issue. I tell people, "Look, I can fix that for like $1000. You could probably fix it over a beer for $500, and save $500. People always take cheap over functioning.

Good to know there might be an honest salesperson out there. This is a subaru, should be good, but apparently I got a lemon even for the mileage. I was in a tight spot when I bought it but honestly I am in an even tighter spot now. I've put in $2300 in repairs since May. Bought it for $6500 on a loan. Could only sell for MAYBE $4000 right now. Still have $5900 on the loan. I don't trust it, which is frustrating as I drive about 400 miles a week and like to regularly travel about 4 hours one way to visit. Just took to my ex-fiance's tonight for him to install a new driveshaft, as the u joint was going out and subarus don't have servicable u joints. Sigh.

Ugh. Sorry. I have 2 Subarus. They both need under $500. Snow tires, etc. But, I sell them for $2500-$2k.

Snow tires..where do you live? Lol. I just put regular on mine, luckily not the most expensive thing. Just did transmission fluid, many inspections of noises (finding out U joint was going out). It's needed a lot of TLC. I want my next vehicle to be certified with a warranty because this is bull...

Maine's coast can get pretty slick with '"lake effect snow" and salt spray. I drive pretty regular from here to MA and back.

We do smoke show the studs off them when winter is over.

Sometimes auctions. Mostly, I run an ad. A lot of times, I buy things that the cost of labor is the reason for considering a vehicle "totaled'. I can mitigate that labor cost. I have a guy who just fixes cars for me. He's saving up to go to Florida so, I'm helping a bit with that. But, I let him work on other people's cars in my driveway. He also stays in his truck some nights. But, he owes me from 10 years of bad decisions, lol. I always hired him when I was flush. Now he's kicking back while I'm skint.
