If they weren't buying brand new cars then the automakers wouldn't be able to sell as many. And if they can't sell as many expensive cars, then they can't justify hiring more people to produce them. Then more people end up without jobs. So you're anti job, you should be ashamed. What happens when the auto manufacturers go full automation? Are the robots going to be buying vehicles? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tesla tried that and it didn’t work. Need eyes to make sure things are running right. I’m sure it will happen at some point, maybe with AI.

Capitalism: *literally runs on consumption* Wages: *stagnant for 40 years* Debt: *$22trillion* Workers:*buys into false optimism, spends everything they have to live plus some on supporting themselves and the economy. Get shamed and lectured when they have trouble* Reactionaries:*blames the inherent contradictions of capitalism on workers just trying to do their part and get by* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angry ginger Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Coworker bought a 2 year old BMW 750 for less than half with 30k miles on it. Stupid to buy new German. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stupid to buy new German. Nobody wanting a used 750 also helps. You only see 80 year olds driving those and being used to move executives around. Towncar Service is never a towncar anymore. A8,BMW 750, and ghetto hooch mama Escalades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought my ML550 with 16,000 miles on it, it’s up to 142,000 now and have been driving it for 6 1/2 years. It’s my second ML, and wife is on her second C class. I’d have to disagree. Some of the older Audi’s or BMWs maybe, not out of warranty, but the newer ones have been pretty solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
