Right? My friends it would just be “I’ll buy your food while we’re traveling” kind of thing.
Yup, coffee, lunch, and if it’s a long day, a drink after. But. We also all let each other borrow our cars whenever.

Brahma Brahma That's money well spent. Yeah, I've got buddies who would do it for nothing, but I wouldn't let them. If I have a buddy who is a Volvo expert and I'm looking to buy a Volvo I'm going to pay him for his time. Expecting him to do his job for free because he's a buddy is unreasonable. Yeah, I'll spend a day traveling for a buddy if they buy me lunch, but I don't work much, and I'm not working on Volvos for a living, and all I would be is a ride, not a mechanical expert. Couple hundred bucks is an awesome price. If you got it home and brought it to a garage for them to have a look to make sure it was all good what do you think they'd charge? And what if it comes back and is not all good? Very reasonable.

I dunno man. In our circle, bros will take the whole day off and share their 2500/3500 diesel with trailer to help a bro get a car. But, we’re all lunatics so maybe that’s the difference, lol.
At least with my friends, this is definitely akin to the "come help me move" thing. We all did it when younger, but as we're older and more established, that type of thing drops off. I'm definitely way too old to go help someone move, movers ain't that expensive, and taking a full day off would cost me a lot.

That said there are definitely friends that I'd go see a car with, especially if it's a fun car. Depends on the friend.

I think the key term is buddy. Like not a close friend but a guy you know and are friendly with.

Man. I used Craigslist and found like the perfect car I was looking for. It's a coupe hours drive, but might be worth it. My buddy works on Volvo's and said he'd take the trip for a couple hundred.

Volvo = expensive to repair trash. Repair often.

Done a lot of checking out cars but I now only do them for people I know have realistic expectations. Many just want a good-as-new car with no outstanding maintenance for cheap. And they want this or that specific popular model and it can't be older than 5 years. Sorry, so does everyone else which is why prices are the way they are.

Several million used cars get exported from EU/US markets per year too. You're not just bidding against local buyers, you're also bidding against exporters. Your friends at the WEF can tell you more.

If this helps reduce the shittiness of dealing with dealerships, I'm all for it.

It sounds like Amazon is just acting as a middleman between the customer and the dealership.


Well that's no different than a bunch of buying services. The idea being they bring X customers and get to split profits for the volume.

I don't understand who would buy a car without test driving it though.

That same buddy grabbed me a car off the auction. 2014 S60 110K miles. 4400 bucks. Should have it by tomorrow or Friday after he does the run thru.

Some faggot did a hit and run while parked on my 7 month old truck. Dent in metal bumper front bumper. Looking like it’s gonna be $5000 out the door as bumper needs to be replaced, sensors recalibrated by dealer and rental car etc…

What’s the best dashcam system with parking support that I can buy? Thinkware u3000?

What kind of faggot needs bumpers so full of sensors (since they can't drive normally) that they need to run a dash-cam system while parked in order to "protect" them?

5 grand would buy a used Ranger not long ago, now we're paying that on women parking marks.

Someone who gets hit in a parking lot. Dashcams are practically a requirement these days, what with shothead drivers and stupid cops.

What sensor needs to be recalibrated? I'm not aware of any OEM that requires a calibration for the SONAR sensors. The RADAR does need a calibration, but depending on the vehicle, doesn't always sit low enough for a bumper strike to impact anything.
