Well, that’s not a good thing. It means people are teetering on the brink of poverty, aren’t spending on anything but bare necessities, and that’s going to cause a major recession and put a buttload more people on the street.
My partner’s junk Hyundai Genesis that she loved died - the engine’s timing belt failed and destroyed the whole engine in the process. No new crate engines exist for sale so It was either spend $7500 on a used engine and hope it’ll last longer, or buy something else - it sucks as it was terrible timing all around.
Yup, you’re supposed to replace those timing belts every so often so that doesn’t happen. I’m seeing recently sold engines on eBay for $1.5k -$3k so the quote you got was quite high since there shouldn’t be 40 hours of labor involved.
Wrong engine block. This was the 2.0 Theta II RS T-MPi used in the Genesis Coupe. That engine has a timing chain, rated to last the lifespan of the engine - and it sure as hell did because it took the whole engine with it! haha this was a garbage engine, they discontinued it years ago.
Who the hell is buying motor vehicles and furniture in this economy? We can’t even afford rent and food!
That’s the point.
Nobody can afford these goods, prices are falling.

Consumer spending in general is actually still quite strong, but the growth has slowed a bit.
