Wife and I went to an RV dealer a few weeks ago.....why are all RVs built by wish.com?!?!! Just hot garbage when it comes to quality. No matter if its a $20k rig or $200k, still just poorly screwed together with cheap materials. Salesmans excuse, "oh, its because of weight". I'll gladly take something a few hundred lbs heavier thats got the appropriate amount of hardware, glue and real wood.

Sounds like you need a vintage GMC.   

I sure do. Swap in a Duramax and allison transmission and I'll be right over to pick it up.

There's a guy making a kit to swap in a 6.5L turbo diesel and an upgraded transmission

That’s awesome! I’d love one with the 6.5, it’s more than enough for a GM motorhome.

The Avion build ones had nice interiors from what I gather.
GMCs were sold either finished by GMC, or in "Transmode" version (no interior).  There were a few companies like Avion finishing them.

The 6.5 is a bored out 6.2.  At exactly 250K km the crank will let go because it was never beefed up to handle the turbo.  It is a sh*t motor.  Terrible issues with the glow plugs.  I had the 6.2 in a 3/4 ton Suburban.   My dog loved it.  Went thru 2 injection pumps and sold it at 320K km and the pump was gone again.

[PJungnitsch]

  Yeah, they are really hurting

Despite these warnings, Porsche confirmed its forecast for the current financial year. Porsche expects global sales revenue in the range of 40 to 42 billion euros ($42.3 billion - $44.4 billion), with a return on sales (a metric similar to operating margin) of 17-19%, with the caveat that global economic conditions do not worsen. In the long run, Porsche said it is aiming for an operating return on sales of more than 20%.

what if they are reallylow Km, wouldn't they still under warranty

[ArticSteve]

The 3 year bumper to bumper will be expired.

The 5 year powertrain warranty will most likely be voided.  Because it's a repo, the oil change service requirements are more likely not to be recorded in the Stellantis system than recorded.  Taking the VIN to a Dealer is the only sure way.

Noticing some big price reductions on used cars. For the first time since 2020 I'm seeing cars and thinking the asking prices are fairly reasonable.

Or perhaps you've just gotten used to the high prices?

I still see beaters with air-cooled rockers and boat-anchor mileage engines priced like decent cars.

This guy seems to think it's slowing down...
