During the height of the Great Recession, you could get your hands on used stretch limousines for fairly cheap. There was even a time when homeless people were buying them to live in, and it wasn’t uncommon to see them parked on the side of the road.
- zoklet-enjoyer 3y agoI see one in a trailer park I drive by sometimes
- User23 3y agoI saw one that the new owner lifted.

- jeffbee 3y agoShoot, that was true long before any given recession. A stretch limo is a rapidly depleted asset that nobody wants after its a few years old. When I lived in Oklahoma City many years ago, I bought a limo off Doc Severinsen, who owned a nightclub there. It was built from a 1983 Grand Marquis, basically an extra-long police car. Didn't cost me a dollar, I just had to get it off their lot (it didn't run, until I fixed it).

- ComputerGuru 3y agoFuel economy won’t be as bad some might think. Length (as if something were extruded longer) doesn’t really impact aerodynamics much - it’s just the additional weight (body and furnishings) that screws things up.
