minus-squareBakerBagel@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up25arrow-down2·1 year agoI can barely afford the 2015 Subaru Crosstrek i bought back in July. Even 8 year old base model cars cost over $16,000 these days

minus-squareFinal Remix@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 year agoHard to find a decent manual in my area for sub-10, too. Lucked out on a 20-year old f150 with very little wrong with it for 4 grand, then another 4 grand to fix it up. Would’ve spend 7 grand on a Ranger with a machinegun rod knock.
