At least my old man doesn’t just go straight to the Toyota dealer for a Prius.

I’m also about to break RootWyrm’s heart with the news that the gearbox in my Jeep went out over the weekend. Although I suspect it’s broken my heart more than it’ll break his.

RIP in pieces.

It’s ok, I can always pull a michael scott and declare bankruptcy. Then all my problems will go away, everyone knows that.

Make sure that you yell loud enough or else your declaration won’t be legal.

Old man should buy a GX, go home happy.

Though I went the old  LR route and it’s been okay.

You should just tell them it’s a 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee with electrical problems. Then you qualify for federal Superfund status too!

Yeah, but then you’d have to deal with a Penske dealership.

Damn that’s a good deal. If it has less than 180k miles, snatch it up. I was looking for them up and down the east coast a few months ago and couldn’t find any newer model under $12k.

125k miles, clean one owner Carfax.

I’m looking at an E550 4matic Saturday but if that doesn’t work out I’m strongly considering the GX.

I pulled it up, other than being dirty it looks great. Not gonna last long. The E550 also sounds interesting though...

Yeah it’s an ‘07 one owner with 84k miles in old man beige-ish silver. I’m planning on getting a PPI done on it at an MB dealer and if it checks out well I’ll probably buy it. Of course, getting an 11 year old Merc to check out well in a PPI is always a big if so we’ll see.
