I dunno what Tom is going to say, but I would loudly and emphatically like to point out that having a “mechanically-inclined friend test drive it” is not even in the same ballpark as a PPI. That is, unless your mechanically-inclined friend brought a lift and a tool chest with him, along with several years of…

American Express already made one. It is the Centurian card.

I think its funny when they ignore the whole ‘accessories’ part of buying a car.

If you had both hands on the wheel you wouldn’t need an armrest..........

You could just save your money and fix the VW 135k is not a super huge amount of miles. Dump some money into fixing its problems, then in a few years give it to the kid, it won’t be so yuck when it’s either this or get a job you freeloading brat and buy your own car.
