America is the greatest country in the world? yes sure

The 3000GT did. Virtually the same car

I want that mutant turkey sound on my 2007 A4. Any tips?

I was like wtf???

My family owns one that is past the 30 year mark. Still runs well

I would add that the 70K be split into monthly payments instead of lump payment unless you know for a fact that the market is down

Also, interest rate might be higher but the car is already depreciated, while you might be paying double interest, you are buying it for possibly half the cost. Which is a LOT more money than the increase in interest

4% guaranteed sounds nice because “4% guaranteed” does not exist. Like you mentioned CD are 2%. However the market averages 8% return in the long term. This means that if you invest money for 10 years and look back you will likely have earned 8% on your money. People talk about the 2008 crisis all the time, but they…

Simple but solid advice. Vanguard is good because it is easy to set up, matches closely with the market and the fees are quite possibly the lowest ones. Like you mentioned the trick is to come up with a budget of what you can afford and stick to it. Do your research (for weeks or months if necessary)

This is a really good question. If you can find a 0% APR 60 month loan on that type of car go for the loan

Smart guy

I read somewhere that a good rule of thumb is to multiply your car payment by 2 and expect to pay this much to own a car. A $300 car payment is likely $600 at the end of the day when you factor insurance, maintenance, repairs, gas, etc

And getting a whooping 12 MPG

Does anyone feel like I do and believe that the Ford Crown Victoria is one of the largest, ugliest and most boring looking sedans ever built? Why do people choose to drive full size sedans? if you want something larger than a compact, you should get an SUV, IMO

I agree. It makes it really confusing to buy groceries because you can never remember the price of stuff. Sure you bought apples and broccoli, but how much did you pay per pound last week compared to this week? Did the price go up or down?.... This is what groceries stores do to keep you confused and hope you buy…

I’m guessing you had regular coverage on your old car and you were quoted for such. But your loan company required premium coverage and your insurance payment went up. Was this the case?

I don’t disagree with you but that’s not really the dealer’s problem, it’s the uneducated customer’s problem. I also believe businesses should have a general sense of financial responsibility, etc. But it would be pretty tough to survive in this type of business with such mindset

two owners for the world

This happened last year I believe. Can anyone confirm?

The whole premise of a dealership is to get cars off the lot. If banks and loans facilitate that why would they try to “help” the situation??
