I was looking at used cars the other day. Well, actually, it was this morning… and the day before. And the day before that. Basically, every day. What I’ve found, and I’m sure you…
There is a competition called the 24 hours of lemons, where the car has to cost $500 or less outside of safety equipment. Getting a car for that price is near impossible unless it's totally crashed out but when I was young $500 specials would run for years without much issue. Car costs are nuts these days.
He didn't even take the time to look up the effect of inflation between the good ol' days and today. Didnt specify what time frame in what location he's talking about when he says $500 cars used to run a while.
