  1. I brought a 2006 Scion xB to them they offered me $7K and I sold it. Car had about 32K miles it was around 2014 so it was older but in great shape. Those cars are very desirable anyway a lot of uses for them I see medical transport and pop a lock likes them too? Ca they like to trick them out. I got rid of it because of GROUND clearance and rough ride compared to my Prius. Oh and MPG. But I warn people if you don't drive enough hybrids are not your thing that or if you lived out your Prius then miles matters not you will get your use out of the battery when the car acts as your generator. I took my 2007 Prius took the passenger seat and center console out and I added a crib frame and mattress in the car on some milk crates and some other structural additions. All added components required little effort and work great. All you need is the gym and you are set.

  3. You put just in front of $30K it shows a disrespectful attitude for common sense economical application of fund's. Yes my 2000 grand Marquis is not as good as bolt on fuel. But I took $2K and PAID for a car with working ac heat and stereo. Leather too. Like a majic carpet ride. I take care of it could be the last car I drive. 52 this car could live beyond my life span. For $30,000 I could restart my life twice. My house cost 12000 my car $2k so far so good the car starts every time I need. The house keeps me warm and dry. To live in the house it only cost $80 a month taxes, utilities. The car only runs me $75 a month total= insurance and a tank of fuel.

  4. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eAQa4MOGkE My take on it all. Love my 2007 Prius with front passenger seat removed . I have a crib mattress and frame instead of a passenger seat. I have a Dometic CF 40 38 quart freezer I can make ice with to put into my 30 quart chest that I use as a fridge yes I have fridge freezer in my car. I have a 12 volt oven to heat cook or warm food I also have a single burner stove to boil water in 2.3 minutes. I have a whistle kettle for my tea . The car is a natural born generator I can go to bed with the AC on or the heat or just fans. Blend in? Man you blend in almost anywhere with over a million Prius on the road? While the car you featured is nice the one I have can be had for under $6 K a copy in great shape around $2K if you don't mind it being less than perfect. The car is a champ at saving money. I drive it for weeks before I have to get fuel . When on long trips sure you got to fuel up but when your pumps are 420 miles apart at 80 mph or 550 at 62 mph it is up to you how far apart those pumps will be and when you will get there. If you are trying to save fuel or just want to drive to see the sights the car is plenty comfortable for me to drive as it is. I have a regular whistle kettle I think it is 64 oz I bring to a boil and let it cool over night next day I add sugar sub and lemon pour it in a bottle that I froze and drank the water from around the ice block. I usually want to mix my tea half water and tea and the ice does this pretty well. Can't go wrong with this system I have gone out 2 weeks in this setup and came home only becasue family was begging for me to return.

  10. Pontiac fierro was a car that was really hot first came out. Then the deaths began to stack up. Locally we had a pharmacist that was in maybe a 30 mph crash and he was dead he landed under the bumper of a Lincoln Continental he didn't have a chance.

  11. I used to put a heater in my car and I would plug it in if there was ice outside. By the time I got in my car it was nice and warm the ice was gone. Solve that problem with a yard sale heater and a good extension cord.

  13. In 7/ 2019 I purchased my Grand Marquis one owner and the man service the car every twelve hundred miles. The transmission fluid was bright red I have documentation right down to the car washes. Yeah I had to drive around and find this deal but it can be done. Ishop real hard for two weeks. I had to drive a lot of miles to look at a lot of things. But when I finally found this one it all came together. I get about 25 miles per gallon on the interstate. Truth is I might burn a tank of gas a month usually $25 covers it. Frankly I just don't get out enough to warrant owning a hybrid or something like that.
