Buying a car from a dealership.
I’m just hopping from one shuttered instance to another.
Buying a car from a dealership.
I guess the meme creator had problems estimating the cost of a local protest attendee waking up, grabbing a cardboard protest sign they made from an old Amazon shipping box, heading downtown for a couple hours then going home to eat dinner.
I can’t speak to the minutia but when I use Lemmy it just feels like a less popular Reddit to me. For me, that’s not a bad thing, just the vibe I get.
I can’t find anything at all regarding discussion, study or opinions on the question but I can tell you that it depends on the person and most likely, they’re experience in working at leveling/setting plumb.
Having used levels(spirit, laser, etc.) for decades, I can set an object like a stud, header or a picture for my wife and often don’t need to move it after checking with a level but my wife will often notice that a group of items aren’t leveled the same on a wall but she won’t be sure which one is off. There will usually be a few adjustments to all of them before she’s happy.
I’ve only bought two new cars but don’t consider the depreciation a scam, it’s something everyone knows is going to happen going into it so although I feel I made a bad choice doing it, I don’t blame the dealership. The high-pressure bullshit is also to be expected, sadly.
Used, OTOH, is an absolute scam. On trade-in, they make number adjustments to get the used car basically free and on the sale-end, they dress it up, tell the buyer that it’s been through a 5,000 point quality check and sell you whatever got bought at auction or traded in. They get even scammier if you finance through them. I’ve seen 16% interest rate for a buyer with an 800+ credit score.
The whole thing is predatory in nature.
