The Good Old Days vs Tomorrow — The Carmudgeon Show with Jason Cammisa & Derek Tam-Scott — Ep 129
Manage episode 397182111 series 3340893
"The good old days weren't always good. And tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems."
Jason and Derek got a huge amount of feedback from the previous episode discussing whether the current car market sucks for Young Enthusiasts. In this episode, the Carmudgeons discuss the feedback — and further define what the problem is — and why that results in outrageous dealer ADMs and shady sales practices.

First up, Jason is getting beat up on his Cybertruck review — lately having been asked by CNBC whether the Tesla has a snow problem. Meanwhile — all eyes are on the Cybertruck. And our politicized environment just can't cope.
Second, Derek got lots of feedback from 20-somethings who agreed with him that there are no cool cars post-2000 — and that their economic situation has changed sufficiently that they can't own enthusiast cars, anyway.
Meanwhile, Jason got the opposite feedback — that things aren't that bad.
What ensues is, as always, an intelligent discussion about the car market. And how today's economics — and lack of great choices for enthusiast — have encouraged dealers to add slimy markups, prevent buyers from test driving cars they're genuinely interested in buying, and other slimeball practices.
In short, Jason quotes Billy Joel: "The good old days weren't always good. And tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems."
Except for dealers. Car dealers are just awful.
