Gotta watch Pingu

The greener you like it, the more monkey you are.

I think you might be better off going with older Honda or Toyota (maybe hybrid) sedan with higher mileage and just expect to change the engine (and battery for hybrid). Hopefully they have records of transmission maintenance.

They don’t have replacement engines with the problems fixed?

Yeah it’s a crazy world out there. Good luck! Love keeping my old car running, but like you I’m getting worried about the mpg. In my case I want something more modern, but can’t afford anything modern enough to fit my criteria and price range.

I can imagine hybrid cars going up for a while. Not gonna be able to get one of those under $10k with the other criteria. I think you gotta give somewhere, and yeah that sucks. Used market is the prime market right now, and lots of people don’t own their cars.

If ur cool with the dodge caravan I’m surprised you’re not into the Hyundai. Will have a lot to work on, but cheap to repair. There is the problem of people stealing them though.

Try auto tempest if you’re not already.

And the used car market will never be what it was before COVID unless nobody can afford to put gas in their ICE cars

What in the world? I never seen so many tags

That’s the spirit!

I’ll how long you’ve been on Lemmy, but lots of folks around here are very black and white about things.

Yeah you’re not gonna find a reliable, cheap, low mileage car for your price range. You’re gonna have to settle on something you’ll need to maintain. Presume you don’t want hybrid or you’re okay with replacing battery?

But you bite their throats out? Like, on sight?

Engine replacement is a big job to be okay with. Where in Midwest?

I’m seeing lots of Kia’s and Hyundai’s available: https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/gasoline/cars-under-7000/cleveland-oh?mileage=70000&mpgRange=30-MPG&zip=44101

This is a big deal if it becomes a trend.

Agreed. So many fickle opinions on the internet. Hate AI, oh but they’re making Lego memes to troll Trump. Hate Catholic Church, oh but the pope is criticizing Trump.

Thanks! I’m more in the $100’s kind of budget.

What’s a “cheap battery” gonna cost me?

Is that what you do to conservatives?

I’ll bet AI did that calculation. Either that or a really stoned person.

Christian Americans should watch videos of Israeli children and adults spitting on and attacking Christian women just walking through the street.

How the tides have turned. What about the creators and owners of the Lego franchise and the creators of the Lego movies? What about AI being so dumb and can’t make anything good?
