> my fucking face when
These are 20+ year old 4 cylinder cars, and people are pricing them more than a car you could buy newer cars. For fucks sake, man.
ITT: post cars that have bad used prices.
>why is an unwanted car worth less than a sought after car
And to top it off... they are massive piles of unreliable shit
On top of that all the maneul ones are riced to fuck with swaps and shit already done. I'll be damned if I buy someone elses handiwork.
Oh and here's a pic of my subaru
>>
>> my fucking face when These are 20+ year old 4 cylinder cars
then why do you want it?
Pic related, even with a shit ton of miles and some rust, people rate shit as expensive as gold.
Any Hyundai
> why do I want it
I want a rwd manual that is easy on gas, that's it.
supply and demand
if people want the same you can ask more
>want early 00s Duramax
>not willing to pay ~$15,000 for a 300k mile, rusty, dirty, 10+ year old truck
Why the fuck do diesels have to be so expensive?
That's a good point, but another point is that you can't charge someone over 5000 for a 1990s car only because it was in a movie or on TV, like 240sx or subaru wrx's
Miata
> muh diesel can last up to 500k miles
> must mean it's worth a lot
There you go
Cus of dat v8. I thought they were cheap but maybe that's Cus I'm in tennessee
If i wanted a miata, I wouldn't of made this thread. Also, I need space behind my seat for tools and stuff
No
>fair condition is $700
Which would be more accurate
>"I want a rwd manual that is easy on gas, that's it."
I'm quoting you here, get a volvo 240 or 740 instead of a meme car.
Nice, I remember your car, I helped you with suspension info a month or two ago.
>implying they can't when they already do
you can charge people as much as you want for whatever reason you want. this is freedom, not some eurocuck country where you aren't even allowed to sell used cars
didn't they also ban rwd in Europe? haha literal cucks
Are you dumb as fuck? Take a damn economics class and learn supply and demand. I can have a piece of Biebers hair, realistically worthless. Yet people want it so they're willing to pay for it.
Other people want a rwd manual coupe and sorry but they have more money than you do.
You know what that means? It means you have to work a little harder if you want to buy what you want. Stop whining and do something about it.
Welcome to capitalism, if you don't like it, then get the fuck out of our country.
But they can, and they do, and it sells.
Good to see you anons.
Kbb factors in the economics
Otherwise it would be useless.
Truth is the 240sx is a massive pile of shit. And kbb knows it.
s2000 in america is the biggest joke ive ever seen desu, at first i couldnt believe when some cuck said he bought his for 30k but then i found out its true. Literally the I KNOW WHAT I GOT american dream LMAO
At least you guys have corvettes or some shit which are pretty good right?
KBB is known for being shit. It doesn't factor in collectibility a lot of the time, which is a HUGE factor.
Anything made by alfa romeo
>collectabillity
>of a dented rusted turd
People want them specifically to trash them.
This does not factor into price.
Sure you (scumbag) can charge whatever and some other scumbag will pay it.
But that doesnt mean its worth that much.
They are super shitty cars. Literally worthless.
>can import a 180 or silvia to my country for less than the cost of some shitbox NA 240.
It literally does mean that it's worth that much if people are paying for it. Stop being so butthurt about simple economics.
> (You)
>It literally does mean that it's worth that much if people are paying for it.
No. It means people are stupid.
>nissanfags really are the scum of the earth
>Otherwise it would be useless.
What a weird coincidence, kbb IS worthless.
Are you not the op? Why would you pine for this worthless piece of shit?
Doesn't matter if they're literal retards or not, still means it's worth that much in today's market.
This. Retarded or not, they've made the car this valuable.
Not op
Youre a full blown retard.
>my toenail clippings are worth 1mil.
Oh wait
If someone buys them, then that's what they're worth.
Worth is determined by market value.
Gold is worthless by your standards. You might as well just throw any gold you have in the trash. I means it's a really shitty metal unless you're working with electronics.
God I hate when people talk about supply and demand at a 101 level...
t. MBA candidate
I'm an engineer and I respect that it's ridiculously more complicated than that. But the basic concept of supply and demand is something everyone should understand and something a surprising amount of people don't understand.
By your definition a Ford Model A is a worthless pile of trash.
They still cost a mint because they have a market. The 240SX has a market. You're paying for a meme. A 35 year old full auto M16 sure as shit isn't worth $20,000 but that's what it fucking costs to get one.
It's a car that a ton of people want to get their hands on that has dried the fuck up. That kind of thing will ALWAYS have a high price.
>ford model a is a worthless pile of trash
Yup
The real problem is the order in which they teach SD then only teach how it's derived in higher level classes when they should be done at the same time.
But wouldn't that take much more time which would mean removing other pertinent material from the class?
>easy on gas
>21 mpg
I get the same gas mileage in my sc
>people who can't comprehend basic economics browse Veeky Forums
>people who pay more money for shitty things are smarter than people that dont.
Is that what youre saying?
>being so fucking retarded that this is somehow what you got out of that
That's exactly what you're saying
Its stupid as fuck.
>muh economics
What a poor excuse for being a tard.
>doubling down on your violent retardation
I honestly can't tell if your b8ing or literally retarded.
>240sx
>shitty item
>paying more money for a shitty item
Muh economics
Stay retarded and waste your money idiots
>assuming you're talking to OP
Nigga what the fuck are you even talking about right now?
Cars are going to be totaled for their outdated and un-upgradeable infotainment systems in the next decade.
Cars are going to be like iPhones. Work just fine, but no support means trash.
But economics bro!!!
If i claim old trash is cool then it's worth a bunch of money!!!
Even a basic level of it could be taught in a single class, two at most, that way the concepts are more concrete.
Brosophine is that you? How are you so fucking retarded?
Fair enough
What would your mother think of you right now user?
>cant explain why its retarded
>can't understand why you're retarded when it's already been explained
>shitposting so fast you refer yourself as "it"
>has no idea what hes talking about
>thinks paying more than a fair price for an item is ok
Enjoy being retarded
>projecting your own cluelessness onto others
>thinking "fair price" is anything more than an elaborate meme
Please explain how over paying for a worthless object is a good idea.
Ill wait
>moving the goalpost because of how BTFO you got
what goalpost?
>still cant explain shit
First you need to explain how people are overpaying in the first place.
I love threads like this
>dub= 240 is 100% shit car
>singles= 240 is an OKAY car
>trips= 240 is the worst car ever and retard econ kid should go to school
>w-what are you talking about senpai??
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA DUMB NIGGA YOU GOT BTFO HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA
How are you over paying if it sells for it's current market value? I don't think a 25 year old shit box is worth 5k, but if others do, and will pay 5k for it, then it's worth 5k.
>buying a rock at the price of gold
ECONOMICS!!!!!!!
Oh, so it IS a shitp/o/st thread.
Gottcha.
Explain why over paying for gold is a good idea
Its not.
Over paying for anything is a bad idea
Ok, how is someone overpaying? How have you alone decided the objective price for a 240?
any subaru literally fucking ever
>2005 SUBARU STI JDM SUPER RARE RALLY CAR JDM FOR SALE WRX

i fucking loathe the subaru community
bunch of stupid faggots just sit around vaping in parking lots admiring the overpriced awd dinosaur tech cuckboxes
any subaru or "affordable drift car"
he could buy an auto one and honda d swap it for cheap
it does factor reliability though. hondas pricing it shows for pretty high even on 200k miles autotragic ones
Mustang GT's are still pretty fucking expensive, even 4-5 year old models. The v6 depreciated a hell of a lot faster.
>demand does not factor into price
Kill yoriaelf
That's a good idea.
Yes it does. That's why an old toyota is worth more than an old Chevy (were talking 80s and 90s)
people do that in nc because 200sx and 240sx are rarer than gold here. ship from cali to nc then swap from junkyards
>calls someone a full blown retard yet in the next line displays a total lack of understanding of the concept of worth
Utility is not the be all end all of value you troglodyte. We all know what you fucking mean but you simply refuse to accept that your definition of worth is wrong.
