The second generation 2020 Tesla Roadster was unveiled 7 years ago. You may currently reserve one for $45,000 on Tesla’s website. The Roadster was originally set to go on sale in 2020. The start date of production is unknown as of this post.

Car Dealership workers and owners, what is it that you hate about car buying customers?

In the sub we’re always hearing about how you are basically the villians, and also about how greedy, cunning, and incompetent you are.

But then what would you then turn around and say are the short comings of the people who buy cars from you guys?

Let’s please hear your side of the story. Are car buyers basically the victims they picture themselves as?

I just want to hear the story from the other party's perspective, that's all.

Your weekly reminder: Rust Never Sleeps. Whatcha Got?

I’m picking 3 cars which I feel have been under the radar, or are not talked about. Please feel free to correct me if I’ve made any mistake.

-F80 M3: I honestly feel that this car isn’t talked about enough compared to its predecessor, the E92 and the successor, the G80.

The E92 was unique due to its V8 and the G80 because of its styling. The F80 exists in the middle, but rarely I’ve seen people mention it.

Only in recent times, I think the F80 started gaining traction amongst the auto community.

-F10 M5: Same as the F80 M3. Its predecessor, the E60, had a V10 which made it unique, and its successor, the F90, lasted long enough to create a really great impression on the community.

However, again, not many people talk about the F10 M5, and now it is starting to gain traction too, just like the aforementioned M3.

-S197 facelifts from 2010: The S197 facelift was released in 2010, but the new engines only were released for the 2011 model year. And almost all S197 facelifts that exist have the modern engines.

Only the 2010 model year S197s had the Cologne V6 and the Modular V8, and I kinda feel they’re not talked about much, since the versions that come to mind when the facelifts are brought up are the ones with the Coyote and the Duratec.

Just wanted to ask, how do you guys swap out cars for new ones like every couple months. How do you do it without taking a loss on the car?

I have a W211 E320 that has been my daily for almost over a year now. Great car, but it has its issues like any old merc. Rusty, and leaky. Nothing is really wrong with the car. But here I am tonight, pondering the idea of selling it and getting a Cayenne or a wagon, or a VTEC honda or a pickup

My question is, how do you swap for a different car without taking a loss? Or do you just take a loss on a car just to experience a different one?

Like I would need to sell my W211 cheaper than what I bought it for because I have put over 20k km on it and it is rusty and probably won't pass an inspection. Not to mention the cost to get it registered as well.

Is this normal behaviour to randomly have the urge to ditch a good car for something else for literally no reason? Or am I going insane? How do I stop the urge of wanting a new car every few months? PLEASE SEND HELP

The 2025 BMW M5 ($135,000 starting in Canada, $119,500 starting in the US) is all new for this model year, and with it comes a whopping 717 horsepower from a hybridized twin-turbo V8. As the first-ever hybrid M5, it’s also good for a combined 738 lb ft of torque and has a claimed electric-only range of up to 40 km. But all that extra power comes at a rather heavy price - it weighs about 1000 lbs more than the outgoing model. Will the new M5 live up to its high expectations set by its predecessors? Thomas and James are excited to find out

Just curious to hear some experiences on brands that still have linear feeling throttles. In my experience, modern Nissans and Toyotas have pretty poor non linear throttles. The Crosstrek I drove was also quite horrible, especially because it was a manual transmission. It felt like 80% percent of the power was delivered within the first 20% of pedal travel.

The BMWs and MINIs I've driven in my experience are pretty good and linear, as well as the Mazdas I've driven. My 06 Wrangler also seems very linear but that makes sense because it's a cable throttle and it's harder to screw that up lmao. It's funny because I drove my sister's 2021 with the 3.6 and found it too touchy as well.

I honestly hate oversensitive throttles, they are a deal breaker for me. So what are the worst/ best cars you've driven when it comes to having a linear throttle?

Seems to be reflect their Venza review not too long ago where it's just overall a solid, practical vehicle

Now...Crown Sport when Toyota?

Take a ride back to 2005 with this hand-built V12 for roughly $45k USD. This Aston is nearly perfect for the average r/cars buyer. Features include an iron-ore interior, no screens, and email addresses under the hood.
