I first saw this on cable when I was 12...topless chicks were definitely in fashion in my pubescent mind. Aside from that, the comedy is in-your-face low brow with a good-natured sense of cynicism. The seventies cars are wonderfully hideous to look at in retrospect. New Deal Used Car's cheap tactics stand well against the rival car dealer, owned by Jack Warden, who turns in a fantastic performance as a greedy and corrupt car dealer and in a dual role, his own (recently) deceased brother. There are a few plotholes and the film loses steam a bit, but overall a solid comedy. The Blues Brothers and Caddyshack pushed this film down to the third best comedy of 1980. And remember, $50 never killed anybody!
Irreverent and tongue-in-cheek look at the used car trade. Kurt Russel early in his career is as entertaining as ever, selling painted-over taxis as grandma's Sunday drivers. A bit bawdy with awful language, so park the kids in the other room, have a good laugh and enjoy this silliness.

What a hilarious movie!! Kurt Russell is excellent, but so is Gerrit Graham and jack Warden. Even Grandpa Munster makes an appearance as a tough Judge...and he is great! Not a kid flick for sure, but adults should love it

Reminded me of a used car rivalry near a town where I grew up. I love a good car chase so the finale of this one was brilliant with perfect casting of the drivers and their motivating beliefs.
