A Super Dodge Deal, More Terrible Advice From Dave Ramsey And More
A collection of our best posts of the week in car buying
Headlines have lamented the not-so-gradual jump in new car prices over the past several years, but we’re finally starting to see some good, old fashioned new car discounts come back around including Dodge Power Dollars which offers buyers $10 for every horsepower that their new car produces. Unfortunately, this time the promotion excludes the most powerful versions of each car, and it only covers 2023 Challengers, Chargers, and Durangos.

The flounder is a group of flatfish species found at the bottom of oceans around the world. When first hatched, flounder have one eye on each side of their head, but as they age, one eye migrates to the other side of the body, resulting in a fish that lays on its side with both eyes pointing upward. The long-tail version of Porsche’s successful three-liter air-cooled flat-eight-powered 908 sports car looks a bit like a mature flounder, a low and flat machine with both eyes (headlights) on the up side. That’s how it earned the name Flunder. If you want to buy one, now is your chance, but it’s going to cost you a few million dollars. - Bradley Brownell Read More
Despite what some people think, the 1980s had some pretty awesome cars.

But Josh needs his own ride with two doors from the decadent decade. What car should he buy? - Tom McParland Read More
Much like my heart rate during last night’s Super Bowl, used electric vehicle prices are all over the place, and it doesn’t look like that will change anytime soon.
