Final week, we instructed you about a screaming deal one Colorado Fiat dealership was providing on model new 500es: $0/down and $0/month for 27 months. All a lessee has to pay is the gross sales tax, which comes out to one thing lower than $1,800. In in the present day’s day and age, that’s about as near free as you’re going to get, and it spurred on the query I requested you final Friday.
I wished to know what automotive you’d solely drive if it was free. What automotive are you so repulsed by that the one approach you may abdomen driving it was for those who didn’t must pay a cent? Effectively, you all answered the decision with an enormous variance of solutions.
We’ve acquired every little thing from low cost, boring economic system vehicles and total mannequin lineups to sporty vehicles with the flawed transmissions and junk from the early 2000s. A few of you even acquired artistic, utilizing the “free” automotive as an excuse to get an extremely costly automotive for zero cash. I see what you probably did there, and I recognize your creativity.
Anyway, that’s sufficient from me. Why don’t you scroll on down and have a look a the vehicles your fellow Jalops would solely drive in the event that they have been completely free. Did you discover I stated scroll? That’s proper child, no extra slideshows.

Volkswagen ID Buzz
I work for a seller group that owns two VW showrooms. Now and again, there are some completely absurd worker lease offers, and I’ve stated that if we ever get one for the ID.Buzz, I’ll soar on it.
I’m a single dude with a canine – I actually don’t have any use for a van like that, and it doesn’t actually reply the query as a result of it wouldn’t be “free,” however the offers are so beneficiant that it’d as properly be, contemplating the $60k beginning value of these items.

Ferrari 250 GTO
Outline “free”? Is that simply buy value or does that embrace upkeep and different related prices? If it consists of different prices, I’m going with one thing tremendous uncommon and costly since I couldn’t afford it in any other case. I’ll go along with a Ferrari 250GTO, I’ll by no means be capable to afford one and wouldn’t even be capable to pay the insurance coverage for a month since I’m positive insurance coverage on a automotive I’m driving that’s price $30mm+ isn’t going to be low cost.

Any Non-Wrangler Jeep
Just about any Jeep product that isn’t Wrangler-based. In case you’re not driving a Jeep for the enduring look or respectable offroad prowess, their complete SUV+CUV lineup is gussied-up, questionably dependable FCA merchandise with steer-and-pray chassis tuning at eyewatering costs.
The Compass is the worst of the bunch…I’m undecided I’d drive it even when I used to be given one free.

Computerized Mazda MX-5 Miata
Wow, this can be a somewhat apropos query for me. I’ve actually been desirous to get a brand new MX-5, as I needed to promote my outdated ‘96 way back when my daughter was born. She’s sufficiently old now to journey safely in a two seat automotive, and I wish to get one which I may give to her when she’s sufficiently old to drive. So I really need one other black MX-5, an RF 6 pace stick.
However the mixture of black, stick shift, GT RF will not be as straightforward to search out as I might suppose. The majority are automatics, together with one right here in my city.
Now I do know that the auto is extra fashionable and doubtless simpler to promote for the seller, however I actually desire a stick, not only for the enjoyable, however partly as a result of when my daughter drives it, no silly boy will be capable to drive it. Although actually, the place I reside, a stick isn’t a lot enjoyable. Metropolis driving and no good twisty roads.
So I form of puzzled simply how low they might go for that auto on the dealership. After which I began pondering, “how low would I am going? I simply have this one automotive I would like, and am I going to be pleased with the automotive I don’t fully need, even when it was considerably discounted.” I imply, an RF is about $40k, and would I even need this automated model for even $25k? I actually don’t suppose so.

Toyota Corolla
My reply could be must be the Toyota Corolla. Not as a result of it’s unhealthy. I had one as a rental for 4 days and located it stable, clean, and environment friendly. However I barely keep in mind something as a result of it was so appliance-like and bland. If bland had an odor you could possibly odor it across the nook downwind, however it doesn’t which is the entire level of being bland, so it doesn’t odor like something.
I get why they promote 1,000,000 of those.Effectively- constructed, cheap, immensely sensible. However like, say, Elevating Cane’s hen, the general high quality of the product doesn’t cover the overall lack of any actual taste to the expertise. It’s constructed for the plenty; an earthly, monotonous, middling product that many, many like however few really love. Similar to Cane’s.
