Does any "non-collector" car retain as much of its value as a Subaru?

It’s not comfortable, fast or pretty but it works and more importantly it’s paid for.

Edit: Apparently I caught Beulla in one of her moods were she insists on being up side down. She’s a bit cantankerous sometimes.
Amazing traction on that F250 or do you live in Australia


Just got back from driving this for 2 days

Toyota Tacoma,4Runner and Tundra.
My 02 Tacoma with 270K miles in good condition booked for a bit over $5k a year ago when I sold it to my nephew. He has been offered $7.5k with 280k miles.
It still doesn't leak or burn oil in a 5k mile oil change interval. I built several houses while I owned that truck so it was a workhorse. My nephew tows a boat with it.

It’s a nice corner of the internet. But it’s the internet, folks, and anyone can read these pages.

When he creates the "what PIN number do you use on your ATM card and why," then I'm drawing the line.

My current cars are a Lexus and Acura --- both are super reliable. No plans to trade anytime soon.

'Quattroporte' is Italian for 'throw your money out the door'.

I drive a 2013 Mini Cooper S All Wheel drive Paceman. Yes, a Paceman. Not a Pacemaker, not a Pacman. The Paceman was in production from 2013 - 2016.

I bought it used in 2016 (23k miles) with a bumper to bumper 5 year extended warranty. I paid $4k for the warranty alone; so far, repairs have easily hit $20k during my ownership. New transmission, CV joints, axle, new DME computer, new suspension, engine gaskets, etc. etc. I stopped thinking about it; my local Mini dealer knows me well and I get a nice loaner every time I bring it in. The warranty has paid for itself many times over.

As soon as it hits the 5 year mark (warranty will be over at that point) it's outta here.

Other than that, it's a blast to drive ;-).

Yup...I don't participate in these surveys. "How many guitars do you own?" Zero...

2013 F-150 Lariat 5.0 Coyote. My 6th truck and by far the most luxurious. At my age, I enjoy all the bells and whistles. Air conditioned seats are decedent but nice.
