When I worked for somebody with a dealer’s license I went to the auction and picked out a Blazer I wanted and had him bid on it for me and he sold it to me for $100 over cost (just to show profit in records). > [@Suggestions for my "expired teen pop" mix](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/suggestions-for-my-expired-teen-pop-mix/29004/25): > > yo shady buy a big body, its cheap RWD and they run forever. > > u can even hop it up niiiiice > > ![http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm288/larryo340/Grand%20Marquis/100_5546-1-1.jpg](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex034/uploads/speedlife/original/3X/6/9/699966b516a3047ed0e5103cc9bac7e9d2fb6ab4.jpeg) Resale is shitty on those so you can usually get a nice one cheap. Since 99% of the people that buy them are 60+ theyre usually not beat. Take a look at what most cop cars and taxi’s are and see how many miles are on them- these cars do run quite a long time. Theyve made these things forever too- the main part of them dates back to '92 with just a face lift in '98 and other minor changes. My parents had a Grand Marquis as a rental car a few years ago when my mom’s car got hit and I drove it and it was like a living room on wheels. Really comfortable to drive and you almost forget how big it is. 5 adults fit in it comfortably too. ---

yea, whats even funnier is that if you “live” at those autions you would no theres no such things as “red lanes” at the auction, theres 8 or 10 lanes at manheim IIRC and theres different dealers assigned to each lane each week…theres no lanes for nice cars or not as nice cars… ---
