yeah I wonder how the battery survives sitting idle for that long. with a parasitic electrical load, they should only last about 4 weeks. even without any current draw, they last about 5 months.

i've been in the market to replace my daily driver, and i see the prices for new and used cars are good but there's a limit to how low they'll go.
i think the best time to buy was nov 2008 through jan 2009. during that time there was glut of inventory because manufacturers had not cut production enough last fall. as you recall, they didn't forecast things would get this bad. but right now they know things are awful so their production has been trimmed to better match demand.

Quote from gnome:
CTS-V and Corvette are about the only two desirable cars GM sells... High end, wealthier buyers... perhaps dealers figuring to make "all the money" on those to keep their business afloat.
forgot one- the new Camaro is a car that will not be sitting waiting to be sold. if they don't kill the rag top (it's rumoured to be a potential victim of cost cutting), i'll buy one when it comes out late this year/early next. Camaro is a piss in the ocean though, of course, in terms of GM.
Quote from fortunatti:
I recently moved out of New York City and need a car. I'd get something new in the smaller or compact class, Civic, Corolla, Mazda 3, etc.
NONE of the dealers i've visited are willing to negotiate on price. They all have a "best price first" policy. The lots are full - no customers, and these guys aren't willing to move inventory...
I haven't bought a new car in several years but before they were always willing to negotiate, bargain, etc.
What's up with these guys??

They sell many cars at invoice.
Quote from dealmaker:
Only if you find a kinky dealer ( new cars). Used cars you can ship them however, I do not believe it will be worth your while at the moment ( markets being so depressed). As for what happened in the 90s, those days are long gone.
It would be for personal use. My sis bought a car for $1100 while she lived in Orange County. That is an absurd price compared to where I live, and I heard some are cheaper than that. I mean I dont think I can anything that still turns on for less than $4000 in brazil

there is must be a reason for that..my guess -it's because of high customs fees on imports-
