    And I grew up on a junkyard. Nobody ever signed up for a payment plan, they just paid straight cash.

        I’m literally trying to hock off a 1995 GMC Sonoma for $400 right now. Nobody seems to want it.

        New battery and new keys and it should run just fine.

            Bitch bitch, $400, take it or leave it.

            I really don’t understand why people complain, either fix it up or sell it for scrap metal, why is it so difficult to sell a truck for $400?

                I can crank it with tweezers if I needed to.

                $1000? Where the fuck do you get your parts from? $200 worth of parts would totally fix this thing right up properly.

                    Where do you live, and why are they stealing your money like that to even say such things to me?

                    • Car battery ≈ $120
                    • Ignition lock+Key ≈ $60

                    Are you shitting me, or are you really telling me that everyone has accepted getting ripped the fuck off?
