That's so true.The prices of used vehicles are also ridiculous.
A few years ago my dad bought a 2003 Ford Tauras for $10,000.00 I think he did get ripped off on that car and I told him so.
It has been nothing but trouble and he's still is paying on it.
The car dealer said they check everything on every vehicle they sell. But I know that's a load of "Bleep" I went to inspect the brake shoes on the rear one day and those brake drums were rusted on and probably haven't even been off the car since new.
It took me a few hours just to get one of them off.
Then we had to replace the little brake lines in the back because they wouldn't come lose without breaking them when replacing some leaking wheel cylinders.
One side was $40.00 and the other was $50.00 for some little brake lines that were only about 3 inches long a piece.
Now it needs some cv axles and a starter.
The car is sitting in their driveway.
My dad bought the cv axles. But we both gave up on replacing them ourselves. Usually it's an easy process. But not this car.
$10,000.00 for a car that I want to send to the scrap yard and probably where that darn car should be right now.
He still owes around $8,000.00 for it.
Frankly if it were me I'd just stop making payments and let them come repo the darn thing even if it did mess up my credit.
