Oh man, I would totally do this. I have so many other things I want to spend $1500 on.
(Not saying the average car buyer would do this or trying to dispute your point. Just sayin' I would.)
- legitster 4y agoSame. But then again I have yet to actually buy a new car in my life. If I'm willing to buy a cheap car, I'd just as soon buy used.
- brnt 4y agoI do not understand people who buy new cars.
- karaterobot 4y agoIf I knew I could get a (late model, U.S. market) compact pickup with 2 doors, where the vestigial passenger space most trucks have was converted into an extra foot of bed length instead, I think I would stop typing this comment and go buy one right now.
- SOLAR_FIELDS 4y agoI came here looking to comment similarly - one of the other effects of the regulations not discussed in the article is the near complete disappearance of two door pickups from the American market. I have a two door, two seat 2008 Ford Ranger with manual transmission. It has a 6 foot bed which conveniently fits so many things, and it’s also compact enough to parallel park easily. I would love to upgrade to a newer model but I fear there will never be another truck that fits those requirements released again. Mine currently has ~150k miles on it and I’ve owned it for a decade and I fully intend to own it for another decade and another 150k miles.
