Would You Buy A Used Car From This Man ?

FYI: Warren Buffett already had the planes and trains. Now he’s got automobiles.

Mr. Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway Inc. on Thursday announced an agreement to acquire Van Tuyl Group, the fifth-largest auto dealership firm in the U.S. Mr. Buffett said he plans to use the newly acquired company as a platform to make an even bigger move into the fragmented market for car sales

    Yep - Warren would give you a car that just kept running ... running ... and running. Ya could expect to get 250,000 miles easily.

    Now, if Bill Gross sold me one I'd worry that the wheels might fall off in rather dramatic fashion. Better check her over real good.

    And Hussman? That car would only run in reverse.:)
