Totaled Cybertruck And A Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet With A Working Top In This Week's Car Buying Roundup

When the Tesla Cybertruck first launched, its earliest Foundation Series models cost $120,000. This didn’t stop Tesla loyalists from spending up to nearly double that to get their hands on one, and resale values have shown the folly of that approach: Cybertruck values are dropping far and dropping fast. - Amber DaSilva Read More

When Tesla talks about the Cybertruck, it frequently pumps up the massive slab-sided $80,000 monstrosity as the pinnacle of masculinity, toughness and strength. It’s often compared to big overwrought machinery from the annals of science fiction, compared to something from “Blade Runner,” “Aliens,” or “Robocop.” Company CEO Elon Musk likes to mention the Cybertruck in reference to his absurdist desire to colonize Mars. The fact is, this hulking behemoth can barely handle surviving the real-world streets of a highly developed nation. This one couldn’t even handle a year in Seattle. - Bradley Brownell Read More

It’s better for the planet and people who breathe air if more people who drive gas-powered cars switch to driving electric vehicles, so it makes sense that the federal government would want to incentivize making the switch. The fact that the incentive is a tax credit can make it difficult to understand, though, and the ever-changing list of cars that qualify for the full $7,500 tax credit doesn’t make it any easier. - Collin Woodard Read More

Sadly, Dodge doesn’t make the Viper anymore. Up until it ended production in 2017, America’s brash supercar was one of the few places you could find a naturally aspirated V10 engine. Now, amazingly, one of those V10 engines is up for sale and its never been used. - Lawrence Hodge Read More

These days, it’s rare to see an automaker try something truly new and different. Sometimes it’s a success like the Tesla Model S, and other times it’s a flop like the Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet. Did the world really need a two-door Murano convertible? Not at all. Was it a great car? Not really. Should Nissan be commended for giving it a shot? Absolutely. And if you happen to have the right strain of The Sickness, you could soon be the new owner of the 2014 Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet that’s currently for sale on Cars & Bids. - Collin Woodard Read More

Mitch is from New York (the state, not the city) and daily drives a Hyundai Veloster with 130,000 miles. Now that he is about to finish graduate school he wants to treat himself to a fun secondary car, but it needs to be comfortable enough for his 6-foot 2-inch frame. With a budget of up to $15,000, what car should he buy? - Tom McParland Read More

Pretty much everything manufactured in the Soviet Union was stouter but cruder than their Western counterparts. Today’s Nice Price or No Dice GAZ-69 allows us to experience that firsthand. We’ll have to see just how much of a capitalist one would need to be to buy it. - Rob Emslie Read More

Today’s Nice Price or No Dice F150 4X4 features the Nite tape and badge package, which was only offered in 1991 and 1992. Let’s see if that makes a difference in what it might be worth. - Rob Emslie Read More
