The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I'm due to replace my 2007 Prius and while I would have welcomed the premium I could have gotten selling it earlier last year, I couldn't find an affordable replacement that I wanted to buy.

Ha! That's why I always have at least two cars in the stable. (just kidding). But I did happen to have a couple owing to the spiffy 'new' Infiniti G-37 I bought (used) several years ago and then realizing I missed my old J-30 which I went back and bought back fro the dealer.

So last year I sold the G-37 to Carvana for $18,000. I bought it in 2014 off-lease for $19,500. I shopped 3 online places, the bids were something like $10,000, $11,000 and $18,000. I filled out that form so fast my computer started smoking.
