59 – Craigslist car stories, a drug dealer's fantastic car taste, and our best tips for buying, selling, or trading cars!

⁠Join our Facebook Crew: https://www.facebook.com/groups/thirdpedalpodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠


In an unplanned side-track, the guys discover an "automotive discussion" section of craigslist, which promptly becomes a new segment for the show called "Digital Diagnostics", where we guess what's going on with terribly described car problems. Then, Zach shares a story about a guy with terrible life decision skills but excellent car taste. Finally, we share some of what we've learned over the years of buying, selling, or trading a car... what works for us, what doesn't, and how to get the best deal!
