Look, I get it. You’re two years into a pandemic with no end in sight, you’ve come to the realization that , and you want to make some changes. Call it cabin fever, call it an early mid-life crisis, but please don’t call the seller of this . You’re better than that.

You read that right. There is currently a listing on eBay for a 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 that’s asking $48,900. It’s a First Edition Challenger, with the black-and-orange paint of the original concept car, a 6.1-liter Hemi and a five-speed automatic transmission. It also has this interior:

Mmm, that’s the stuff. Acres of flat, black plastic, a gauge cluster that looks like it was pulled from a Wrangler, and the finest infotainment 2008 had to offer. Truly, things must not get better than this, especially at a mere nearly fifty thousand United States dollars. Or do they? For the $48,900 this ad asks, you could get:

Nine , with $3,900 left over for gas.A , with room for options.A , with a bit of shrewd negotiation. at your local Wegmans, or 56,206 (or the currently-in-season ). in the U.S., but only .One . Just the one.

Any of the above would be a better way to spend your money than a fourteen-year-old Chrysler product. I would even take the pen first, even if that decision would be motivated entirely by spite for this seller. The past two years may have been rough, but not so rough that you need this particular Challenger.

The (and Tacoma) have a death grip on used values. It’s been this way for years. Go ahead, go try and buy any TRD trim that’s a couple of years old; it’ll cost you as much as a new one — not that you could buy a new one...

The seller of today’s Caddy claims they should be selling it at auction but says who’s got time for that? Let’s see if we have the time for this custom convertible at its non-auction price. Many of you agreed that the $950 asked for yesterday’s was “chump change.” Even...

According to its seller, today’s Nissan 4X4 shows “pride of ownership.” Let’s see if it would take swallowing one’s pride to pay its asking price. Opinions were split on how well the design of yesterday’s has held up over the years. Some of you commented that the design still...
