Right. Which most people don’t have. Generally they have a traditional auto loan. Typically if you have good enough credit to get an unsecured loan for a car purchase, you aren’t in this situation to begin with.

Yea here in the states (at least most states) they stamp a lien on your physical title (or the bank holds the title). It’s a fucking pain.

If he owes $24k and he sells it for say $18k, he still has to come up with a way to pay off the other $6k before the bank releases the lien on the title. Selling privately seems like a good option but the logistics could be a nightmare

Considering there are no inspections in Oklahoma, it could get back on the road in the shape it’s in.

Buyers and lenders are definitely at fault. In my case it was my wife (fiance at the time) she got in a wreck and had to have a car. I spent all day on a Saturday while she was at work looking at local dealers. Knew we wanted to spend about $10k which for her income was reasonable. I was looking around and didn’t find…

Yea i’m shopping for midsize now and I am blown away by the price of a Tacoma. I can get a V6 4 Door Colorado for $5k less than a new Tacoma that’s similar. And the Colorado has a higher towing capacity. I mean yea “Well it’s a GM Product not a Toyota” but the Colorado has proven itself to be a great truck.

Same thing with electronics and virtually anything else. I’ve sold computers and things and Craiglist always takes days to sell. I listed a pair of washer/dryer on FB for a reasonable price and within 5 minutes I had at least 7 inquiries. It was insane.

2 years ago we wanted to move out of our apartment and a garage was on our list for the next rental. So many in town had converted the garage into extra living space. Finally we found a rental that was brand new and had a 2 car garage. Fitting our Tahoe and our Jetta in the garage was tight. If i wanted to do any work…

really similar experience on our 2013 Escape S. Tranny problems at 12k miles. Had it in the shop multiple times, never fixed it. Finally gave up and traded it in on a VW (Laugh all you want)

Everytime i’ve traded a car in, I’ve kept one set of keys with me until the very end of the paperwork and they’ve handed me the keys to the new car. That way if they pull that shit with me I can go find it myself and drive away.

And me back in October! http://zachelliott.kinja.com/rental-car-reviews-2016-chrysler-pacifica-1787732150

It’s the littering equivalent of pissing in the ocean.

Ah you’re right. He (and I) didn’t take into account the layover in CHI. That does add ~6 hours to it. But in the end, the SW Chief is incredibly unreliable. Just right now, it’ll get to Chicago at LEAST 2 hours behind schedule. No wonder there is a 5 hour layover....

There are multiple ways to get from NYC to LA on Amtrak. Yes some do include buses. Looks like he did the Lake Shore Limited with a single (lonnnnng) transfer to the SW Chief. Costs $455, all train travel, and takes 62 hours.

We had a similar experience but it was over the phone. We were trading in my truck for a smaller car, a VW Passat. We found one of the last previous year on the lot and they had it heavily discounted. The dealer was 30 miles away so I did lots of talking on the phone. I took the truck up there for appraisal and to…

I see a Grand Cherokee, at least in the liftgate design.

As a proud owner of an 04 Tahoe LS, I can confirm this is the better choice. I bought mine for the same price as this Commander, with only 32k on the clock (verified by carfax this was the original miles, no new cluster or anything to mess with the miles) and the thing is the best car i’ve ever owned. I tow with it,…

Brother and I had one and I remember some of the road stickers peeling off from folding it up so many times. But man was it fun.

6pm. It’s 00z which is 6pm now after Daylight Savings Time.

This is what passes for country music nowadays? Ugh.
