    One reason wholesale prices are down is because auctions are saturated with repossessions. Which are the dregs of the used car market. The new car market has died and nice used trade-in's are not being absorbed into the used car market.

      Had it been a *ICE vehicle* in the same accident, you get it repaired.

    I had a '66 Dodge Coronet whose headlights would suddenly go out. I would pull to the side of the road, and in the time it took to open the hood and look for loose wires and get back in and turn the lights on they would work again. This was before the internet so it took me a while to find out what was wrong. The rheostat for the lights was mounted on the firewall near the exhaust manifold and pipe. The rheostat would heat up and contacts would be lost. I got a new, improved rheostat and moved it away from the exhaust. Never had the problem again. But let me tell you, there are few things as exciting as loosing your headlights at night when you are cruising down a highway in rural Idaho on a Moonless night.

It was very distressing, to say the least! This was long before cellphones and everyone having a device in their pockets, that doubles as a flashlight! I was a young teenager at the time, and hadn’t ever experienced that, before that night. Wouldn’t have been so scary, if it had happened under a full moon 🌝, 😂, or in town, lol!

    Hey Scottie, please don’t lump Canadian citizens from Alberta (especially rural, we want nothing to do with WOKE IDEOLOGY) with citizens from Montreal, Quebec. They have the most hypocritical laws and politicians in that Province. They have wanted to separate from Canada for years, but at the same time, they still want to use the Canadian Currency and still get Transfer payments from the Western Provinces.

      Mercedes had (until recently) a little known cool program, you could order parts for Mercedes cars back to the inception of the company! Once a year they fire up the plant to produce parts for orders received for parts for these vehicles. Mercedes dropped the program, since they are going to be an “electric car company”. And this one less reason to own a Mercedes too! 😢

    I'm seeing local used car lots full with mostly high mileage SUV's, trucks that the loan guys won't finance. I used to see lots thin out when the income checks came in but not so this year. Evidently the dealers aren't financing like they used to and folks aren't getting back enough tax money to buy their cars outright.

      Yeah, rates are up! Mine went up too and we have 5 older cars. Reason was we filed for glass coverage and a fender repair? Hmmmm all those years of not filing anything down the drain!
      Plus - weird - they told us that dropping from full coverage to liability only on two of our cars would RAISE rates?? This is with Geico. Problem was we could never nail down Geico on exactly what the payout would be for each vehicle if they “totaled it” due to an accident. Why carry full coverage on an 20 year old car or truck, if they total it and DO NOT REPAIR? Glad to pay for full coverage if they pay me the cost to buy a used vehicle of similar age and make, but they won’t guarantee that. See the issue is a new car is 30-50k$, so that’s the value proposition. Think about it.
