I just bought a 2011 Suburban 4wd LT for $18750 from a private party. Insurance company says it books out at 34k. It originally had a cracked windshield and bald tires and some a/c issues. I built a relationship with the seller and he eventually replaced he windshield and tires and had the a/c fixed and keep the price the same. I can see how the car business would be fun. I drove around today feeling like I stole this suv.

2006 Tacoma in 2011 for $9000 - SR5 Prerunner, Accesscab with bed cover.

Bluebook is still more than I paid after adding 75,000 miles even.

Related thread that will soon appear:
I just sold a 2011 Suburban 4wd LT to some sucker for $18750. The vehicle is a piece of junk and I was contemplating donating it to VOA before this sucker came along.

Dude, my mechanic throughly checked this thing out. He even threatened to try and buy it himself until I told him I would kick his arse.

Bought a foreclosure for 70k. Put 5k into it, sold for 110k.

Pretty much just needed the HVAC worked on, and the walls re-skimmed and painted.

Sports Authority near Galveston TX decided to quit selling ski/snowboards about 5-6 years ago.

It was all literally 90% off everything I couldn't believe it. So I brought 2 K2 boards, 2 pair of boots, bindings, 2 board bags for around $150...it was like I was dreaming. Still use 1 setup every winter. Gave the other setup to my cousin for his 18th birthday.

We had gone in there to buy my son a soccer ball for a tournament that weekend...pure coincidence turned into pure jackpot.

I'm really good at this one video game and I charge people $85, two at a time, to play with me and I probably have 12-15 people pay me that per weekend.

It's ridiculous that people pay that much, and I catch heat from the game's community for charging people to play with me, but hey, if someon's willing to pay who am I to tell them how to spend their money.

Everytime some girl allowed me to stick my weiner in her was a great deal. Can't believe more women don't charge for that. Considering it's the best thing on the planet

I found a white lobster floating in the ship channel and was able to make off with it unscathed.

I might have been ripped off by the guy I sold it to but... that's okay.

Who sells a car without looking up KBB? Did you rip off some old senile lady?

Not that I believe you, but they are called square groupers, not white lobsters.

You do know that xraying an engine is not a real thing?
