I spent a number of weekends looking for reliable used cars for my two sons. Their price range was in the $3K range. I can’t tell you how many small lot dealers had POS cars they tried to sell us that didn’t have oil in them. NO OIL SHOWING ON THE DIPSTICK! Not just one or two but 5 different “dealers” did not even…

All the stars... all the stars...

The other point the finance officer made to me when I bought my third new car this year (long story, bad wrecks, not my fault) was you can always cancel the GAP at any point during your ownership of the vehicle.

This is a small reliquary I turned out of a tree burl containing some ashes from my 20 year old son who recently died. He’s with me every day.
