No kidding, it’s ridiculous to think they expect us to fork over $25k for cars that will invade our privacy. I have a 23 year old car I’ll drive till it’s dead before that ever happens.

25k? Lol, I wish. Average new car sale price is 48k.

[–] OberonSwanson@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 years ago

Lol I won’t throw $48k at the turds on the market these days.

My coworker just bought a car and was stoaked he only paid $3000 over sticker price.

Why and how do you have a Twitter check mark next to your name?

I think it's their profile picture.

Edit: I just got Lemmy Premium.

[–] BritishJ@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

Same here. Its a bit shabby and heavy on gas but I can fix most things on it myself.... but at least I dont have this issue

Same, it’s getting up in years and probably needs a paint job and eventually I need to change the window tint.
