@@redzoom7857 True. To be honest, he should have been stuck with that bid. Yes, it would have been strict ... but by no means would it have been the first strict "rules are rules" ruling we've seen. I really felt for Elizabeth on this one.
I guessed 65k on the Porsche. The car itself is well over 50k. So few people have a clue about car prices because everyone buys things on credit and never look at the bottom line.
$52,000 for a trip to Germany, and a Porsche Boxster......I wish. If there's one thing I've learned from watching this show is that young people don't have a clue about prices.
I think I figured out the proper prices based off of what we could see and Drew's hint. Car = 17580 Travel Mug = 20 Bottle Opener = 65 Panini Presser = 49 Soy Milk Maker = 97
Don't blame her, Drew forced her to take the second turn. He's always forcing everyone to take the second turn, even with 3 right. He's robbing everyone a chance to win three prizes.
The winners have to pay taxes on all prizes (including cash) before they get them. Also, the car you win often gets substituted for a similar one of equal value available in your home town.
@@Boogaboioringale Not the cash, but they do have to fill out the proper IRS forms and any forms for California. Then 25% Federal and whatever California charges comes right out before you receive the cash. Any additional amount from the federal government you pay as part of your tax return. As for the items, you have to pay for the taxes immediately.
Brand new Porsche boxster alone cost almost 60,000. Two of my friends had it. So i know that, i cant stop hear them brag about it🤷🏽♂️... i wish i was betting on the second showcase...
@systemoperator There's still the option of doing nothing for your second turn, essentially doing the same as before. Anyways, I didn't blame her completely but I failed to relate that in my comment.
Yes, it's the chevy cobalt! If you want an unreliable, crappy US car, then free is what you want to hear. Of course, paying taxes on a car that's going to fall apart in 3 years is probably a deal breaker. After winning such a car, I'd take it to the nearest Carmax and sell it immediately, then go buy a Toyota. Sad that American cars are so crappy when they used to be the envy of the world. They don't have to produce quality because they sell them just as they are. Maybe the pandemic will shock American workers to get back to having pride in what they make and maybe shock the car manufactures to stop cutting corners on components. I hate that American cars are not reliable or long lasting. At the very least, they could improve transmissions, so you can get more than 80K miles out of them. GM is terrible, but the very worst is Dodge/Chrysler. Fiat is the parent company, which should be a big tip off. In fact Fiat is so bad that they abandoned the US market. You know your product is bad when not even Americans will buy it. Remember when Jeep meant you had a rugged vehicle that would last forever? Not anymore, now that Fiat owns the brand. There is one American vehicle that is worth buying. Ford trucks, specifically the F-150. I grew up with Chevy and would never consider a Ford, but when GM quality started to drop like a stone, I could no longer see them as a viable source for cars. Ford quality fell as well, but not on their trucks. They have consistently made great trucks for decades and still do. Probably why they dumped the multiple models practice. I guess the plan is to make just a handful of models, so you can focus on quality and it seems to be working.
The two "American" cars that I had since 2000 from GM, the Buick Century and the Chevy Equinox, both were made in Canada. Hell, I remember my Equinox on the parts: Made in Canada with a Japanese motor and a Chinese drivetrain.
