General Car Conversation 2024 - part 2
I ended up buying out our last three leases so I could sell the cars privately and I wouldn’t have been happy if I had to get it inspected. There is a tag/title place I go to that is close to my house and it takes 10 minutes to get tags vs going to the MVA. Way better experience since it is so much quicker and the fee isn’t much. I don’t even go to the MVA to turn my tags in, I just drop it off at the place and pay them $10 for them to do it.
Yeah I have a tag and title place here locally too and I love it, way better than dealing with the MVA
There's no excuse for that.
The comments aren't disappointing either, lmao....
One nice thing about NJ is that inspections are free if you go to the DMV to do them. The one nearest me is relatively low volume so I can go 15 minutes before they open and I'll be out in 30 minutes for the Ody
Just clicked on it now, wow that's insane. I would say it's staged but damn....
"If I had a Subaru Outback I'd want to return it too..." LMAO.
They roast the guy, too.
And even the employees. I need to lose about 25-30 lbs (and am working on it), but every person in that picture has a huge gut. It's bad even by American standards.

I wondered about it being staged. The driver of the car seemed to be overdoing it a bit - But you never know these days. I'm skeptical of everything these days. Drives my wife nuts lol. The comments were great.
He's of that entitled generation, look how he throws his jacket......
Yeah, apparently, from reading the comments dude bought a used 2008 Subaru Outback and had a bunch of issues with it, dealership refused to fix the issues cause of course it’s old and the warranty probably expired over a decade ago, and he did this! Lol
The dude is dumber than a box of rocks…
I work at a new car dealership, and we rarely put anything on the lot that’s over about eight years old. And this is the reason why.

Uncle Sam realllllllllly messed things up...
We will lease something if we get the new car itch but I just don't see cars made today lasting 20 plus years like ones made in the "golden era". I honestly don't want a car made in 2024 to keep forever. Like I said we could lease something new and that would be fine. Stuff just isn't built for the long haul anymore. We just replaced a 4 year old Water Heater and had to pay for all the labor to the tune of 4 figures. My mother has the most expensive fridge you can buy and it's junk that actually rots food, etc. Our modern washer and dryer are just okay at best. Our dishwasher sucks.
This extends to cars, too. I just imagine a 2024 S-class 20 years from now would be a mess. The tradition of "classic Mercedes" will continue and these cars will be so complex with all these electric motors and other fancy tech and need lots and lots of attention. It's going to be a challenge in the future I think.
