@evedazzle@mas.to @thevhswizard@retro.pizza Can't have business when goods are too good, innit? That's why the planned obsolescence. Good news: the less you drive, the less the car breaks. I didn't even realise that relationship is basically reverse exponential. I've driven 3 years with the same oil, <10 000 km and all the expense is fuel, a light bulb and my time keeping the car free of rodents. They tend to flock to cars that aren't driven.

@evedazzle@mas.to @thevhswizard@retro.pizza I've had this occur to me quite often after I bought a new car. My favorite thing to do was to let them rant until they were done, ask me if I was interested in the offer they were ranting about, all the while I'm just ignoring every word coming out of their mouths, and telling them no. It pisses them off to no end. Then I just go back to sitting and waiting for the service to get done.

@evedazzle@mas.to @thevhswizard@retro.pizza Financing! That explains it! Kiddo & I bought similar cars, same dealer, two weeks apart. Mine has a loan, hers does not. I have this problem, she does not. They don’t want to actually sell cars. They want to sell loans.
