  1. Depends on the auction but they only need to make a NET profit on their entire vehicle flow.

  2. Sure thing. Don't buy a new van. Do buy used from a private party who is also old with plenty of money. (I'm old too and experience shows in how one cares for their possessions.) Do exhaustive research and find MECHANICS (only mechanics can have useful technical insights on vehicles, ignore sales droids) to learn which specific makes, models and DRIVETRAINS they approve of. Never buy something for superficial reasons. If you want to live in a wheeled vehicle it's best to pull a trailer so drivetrain repairs don't mean your home disappears into a shop. reddit is a better detailed resource than Youtube and brand/model specific forums with experienced line mechanics are gold. Research is fun and so is saving money. If you buy anything with an extended warranty study the fine print first and not at the dealer, but leisurely over time. Salesdroids can't subtly pressure you when you're at home chilling out. Good hunting!

  3. People buy used luxury cars instead for less money so they can show off. The lot I worked for tried offering practical cars but most buyers are aspirational and want to show off.

  4.  @HelloHello-yb1rl  That's not where the money goes but keep believing sales price and labor have much to do with each other.

  5. It's sad that my poorbros have paid-off cheap vehicles they bought long ago and still drive quite happily while people who make much more money waste that money being foolish. I'm far from wealthy myself but like them I chose to learn to wrench and have never had to sweat choosing, buying, repairing or maintaining a vehicle in my life. Neither did they because they understood ya gotta harden up young and learn to take care of yourself. These gents also own their own humble homes and land because they wisely chose not to live in expensive areas, there being no excuse for wanting to unless one is rich. All I did was learn from wiser men by supplying my own determination. Women can do likewise (my wife was a skilled helicopter and fixed-wing mechanic). It's sad that people tolerate their own ignorance and have no shame about it. They tolerate having useless interests, useless hobbies and tolerate their own substitution of distractions for self improvement. There is plenty (I contend much more!) fun to be had by expanding what one can do to be less dependent on others. My bros are all country lads who even if they didn't have great parents were expected to handle their business, so they did.

  6. I go back many decades and that saying is correct. The British auto industry built beautiful junk, died then the brands were bought by adults but their QC is questionable.

  7. Good. They'll make fine parts donors or mechanics will buy and repair them. If you can ever manage to take a community college auto repair course it pays off for life because knowledge is power.

  8. Repos never stop and there is no "they" as each business is different.

  9. That's a lifetime truck if you prevent it from rusting, and the fuel cost won't matter since you won't need another truck.

  10. Why would anyone sane want a high end care except to impress other drug dealers?

  11. Doesn't matter much. CONDITION is everything so it's wise to have someone with zero ties to the seller inspect it.
