I would put the money in low risk, non state taxed funds, Vanguard has one for California. I would pay federal tax on my gains, but it would be minimal as the fund does between 1.5-2% each year. After the market makes its next correction I would spread 80% it between a mix of low/medium risk funds to generate income…

So the platform is the same, its still a modified Versa, but the exterior and interior are much improved.  Really what I want is the 60kWh in Nismo form.

I am trying to figure out were in the timeline we split from one were rational people stayed in charge and the world is a way better place.  I have not really found it, I fear I may not be looking back far enough.

I could park an MR2 in the back with all the seats down.  Christ this thing is a land yacht.

There is a short term cash exchange which can make up for some of the early revinue loss.  If this whole thing is a bust and the expected jobs don’t come pouring in then at least there was money from Ford up front for it.  Unless there is a time stipulation for that $12.5 million to the community.  Which would suck…

Trashiest car I have ever seen was when I passed my ex on the road a few months ago.  Hey-O!

A new car on the Florida Coastline will be under water during the next storm.

No. Its this idea of “hey I’ll just play along and get what I want and take the consequences...” that keeps these dealers doing this. Why should I play along? Even if you go with the argument that private businesses can select their method of payment, if I don’t agree there is no reason for me to shop with them. Its…

Damn, that’s fucking coldblooded, even snakes think that’s low.

There are a couple issues at play, one is what sort of financing fees am I paying up front or get added to the loan that increases what I am paying for the car.  The second is there credit report look up that shows up on my report that will ding my score for a few months.  Its not much but why would I want either item…

Rates were still in the high 3s and low 4s at the time.  The cars I was looking at were still popular enough to not need incentives.  I was more risk adverse than then I am now because I was not as knowledgeable.  Its different now, also if I could go back in time I would tell myself finance it and put the money in an…

I figured it, others have said that the dealer wont entertain cash purchases even on used vehicles.  They must have something going with financing that makes it way more profitable.  When a friend was looking at used Fiat 500e he went to them because they had a perfect example on the lot cheap.  Offered cash at the…

I had a dealer refuse to sell me a car on his lot that I wanted. Not like I was low balling, being difficult, or otherwise trying to pull anything. I showed up to the lot when I noticed on their site they had the exact model Camry I was looking for, V6 with dark leather. I liked the way the 2011 models looked and…

I purchased a used car from a Subaru dealer with zero hassle and a good price.  It felt like I was living in another world.

We need a switch up, Simone Biles should play the next Spider-Man.  She does not even needs wires to get some of the more insane moves done.

This comment should be over a 1000 stars for how right it is.

Chevy Volts are also dirt cheap, you will get most of your commuting done in EV mode.

I live in Southern California and drive the 405 every day and I can go 2 days on my 33 mile round trip with the AC on. With heat I can do 1.5 days. Stop and go both ways for me. You will typically get 70-75 miles of range with the heater or 75-80 with the AC on. Unless you are blasting either one then it really…

It cost me $10K to get a fully loaded 2015 Nissan Leaf in 2017.  It even had a 2015 build date so it was just over 2 years old and lost 75% of its value from new to used.  It was a cash bargain to get it.  I have had it a year now and it is such a great commuter car.  My work lets me charge for 2 hours a day free so I…

My second car loan ever was at 4.9% and it was a good rate for someone with good credit.  My first loan had my brother as a co-signer and I got a good deal.  I paid it off super fast so I could get his credit open again, it was like 24 months to pay off a 60 month loan.  My next one was 48 months and I was 3 months…
