yeah...it"s totaled. 

 

going to look at a used vehicle later today....same make & model as the one hunt jr totaled...but 2 years older.  that's his punishment for wrecking the g-damn car he had! 

Just ran into a Sam’s Club to pick up a few necessities. I was in there for 20 minutes tops. While I was in there someone ganked a Corvette, and a license plate off a mini van, from right behind my car. I felt really bad for both of them, but especially the Corvette guy. Naturally he was an older white guy, and he was pushing a shopping cart full of bulk items around the parking lot, looking completely lost, hoping in vain that he’d just forgotten where he parked.

Dinner at Cheesecake Factory in Greenville, SC, 2 ladies were sitting at the booth next to us holding hands and leaning over and whispering sweet nothing to each other, and they were both hot as hell. Like for reals hot. I was unable to take a ninja pic, so you all are just gonna have to take my word for it, and I would never lie to you.

So they gave you pain medication at the hospital then

that one wasn't great...looking at another vehicle tomorrow...same make/model/year as the one he totaled...kind of a do-over. 

 

and dealing with the ex-wife during all the insurance bullsheet & car shopping has been quite an experience. a word of advice for our younger wu'ers....don't be blinded by a nice set of teats!  words to live by.

For clarity, the like was for getting basically the same car back, not for your ex wife's saggy milkers

update...every vehicle we've gone to look at has been complete sheet.  we're basically down to 1 possibility...one we saw right after it was traded in & was in horrible condition & had a grinding noise coming from the rear wheel. yeah...that's the best option right now.

I have heard good things about carmax. They will absolutely not budge on price. But its 0 hassle. And you're not going to go there and be surprised that the car is a piece of crap. They sell only really good cars.

Havent bought there myself but I know people who have.

no one will budge on price right now. if you wont pay full price, the next guy that comes in the door will. no one has used cars right now

Agreed,  but that's been a thing about carfax forever.  It's how they do business.  Excellent cars.  Not great trade in value and won't budge on price. But you know what you're getting when you go there. And you know the buying experience will be quick and easy with no hassle. 

You can reserve cars online and they'll all be lined up waiting for you at the location of your choice.  They will ship cars there for you to look at.  Nearby locations are free. From far away there could be a fee. Sometimes that fee can be waived.

But you know when you go,  your car will be there.  They're not gonna say it just sold and try to get you to look at something else.  No surprises like that. 

just found my wifes old car for sale. we turned it in last week for a new lease. they didnt even use pictures of it cleaned. they took these pictures when we went to look at cars. all her sheet is still in it, salt from the snow we got that week still on the sides.

yep. had to put a (refundable) deposit on the one we're considering so it wouldn't sell before we even got to see it. got there & it hadn't even been through their shop yet...cracked windshield, needed breaks, no rear wiper, & filthy/smelly interior. we're waiting for all the work to be done..and for them to fix the f'ing grinding noise...before we go back to see it again. and if we don't buy it, they have a list of people waiting for it

I have a dodge pickup power wheel I'm looking to get rid of.  Just slap a bigger battery in that sucker and watch it go.  $50,000 obo.

i went with a buddy of mine a couple weeks ago to look at mowers, and its the same thing with them. he had one in mind but they didnt have it in store and said the only way they could order it is if he paid in full up front and they couldnt guarantee it would be here in the next 18 months. also, it was non refundable.

I got an email yesterday from the Mazda dealership where I bought my current car. It said something like "by our calculations you have approximately 16 more payments left" and they want me to trade in my vehicle for a new one and keep my monthly payment roughly the same with a new 7 year finance (hellz no). The jokes on them though b/c I just made my last payment in February. Car is already paid off BOOYAHH!

I got first dibs on a RAV4 Prime the day before thanksgiving. Surprisingly selling for MSRP (some dealerships were doing $7-10k over MSRP) but I wasn’t going to do a 4.9% finance or whatever absurd rate was the default through Toyota. Bought a pre-owned 5-series plug-in hybrid instead (posted here a few months back). 
 

Randomly online this weekend, and seeing used RAV4 Primes with like 11,000 miles being listed for like $60k (probably $10k more than what MSRP + sales tax would have been). Now I’m almost mad I didn’t buy just to beat the piss out of it and sell a few months later for a huge profit.
