Ask Dr. Liberal: Good Deal!

Filed in National by on February 25, 2010

Dear Dr. Liberal,

Should I buy a used car from Barack Obama?  It is a 2005 Mazda Protege with 65,000 miles on it.  He is asking $3,000 for it.  What do you think?

Signed,
Car Shopping in DC

Dear Shopping,

Kelly Blue Book tells me that the car you describe is probably worth around $3,500.  So in the immortal words of Maya Angelou – oh hell yes.  Buy the car, but be sure to offer Barack Obama only $160 dollars for it.   When Barack Obama hems and haws at the $160 say that you were only kidding and would really only pay $60 for it.  When he says, “Okay $60 it is.”  Say, “Not so fast. I see a dent in the fender which is going to cost me $200 bucks to fix, so give me the car plus $140 and we’ll call it even.

When he hands over the $140 and the keys be sure to give him tons of attitude and act like you were thoroughly abused.

Yours truly,

Dr. Liberal

    Buy it, it has plenty of life left. However, given the unreliable track record of the seller, get everything in writing. If fact, do a CARFAX check. You never know where it’s been.

    The president”s negotiating style is odd, but that might be changing. On the news tonight it looked like he understood the GOP’s motives.
