My youngest and her husband have done that twice now. He bought a Taco for work and then his work give him a taco. They traded that in on a CRV at a lower value than the taco was worth. After he quit his job for something different, they sold the CRV and got an older beater Nissan. Nothing but issues with that one and it now sits dead in their driveway. They had to pick out something else so they can get to work every day. I think it is a stripped Rav4.
It genuinely hurts my soul that you of all people can't appreciate the Mirage for the pure simple perfection that it is... I absolutely adore mine.
I drove a manual spark rental car in South Africa. While it was absolutely gutless with the 1.0 liter 3 cylinder they had there, it was also kinda fun to drive...
I'd conjecture that this is the proverbial exception that proves the rule.
Yup, some dealers don't know when to quit! But most simply haven't wisened up to my once a decade or so purchasing cadence, and quit bothering me several years before I might actually give them some business. But the dealer that actually asked me to test drive the Golf R last week has me wondering... Haven't heard a peep outa them. They got my name and address from running a copy of my DL, All they have to do is input that to VW's CRM database and they'll have e-mail addresses and I think my blog URL too.
Insurance in Onterrible is a scam.You haven't talked to the right people about insurance then. Insurance here used to be great. it's flat out garbage now, and you pay threw the teeth for it. We just got smacked with an enhanced and normal thing for insurance last year. It's another scheme on the in network/ out of network, except it's all with approved drs/hospitals that are all in network. Company says "its better coverage." But they are full of it. Never got so many bills from the Dr's in my life. Oh, the deductible went up again too. Funny every year more and more comes off my check, I pay more and more out of pocket and get worse and worse coverage. Nearly makes me miss working for the township.
Good luck on the fight. When I had my stroke and heart surgery, my insurance charged $200 for the emergency room visit since I was released and not admitted. Yes, I was released from that emergency room to the ambulance and transported to the main hospital. They main hospital had a neuro ICU. Took about 6 months to get that charge reversed.Oh wait.... I got a story for you guys on the insurance thing too....
So, last Dec, me and the wife went to Miami for a getaway..... she ended up getting sick and I had to take her to emerg on xmas eve.... she was there for roughly 4hrs... got some tests done, blood work, supplements and an IV if I recall correctly. Was released and we were advised to see the family doctor for a followup in 24hrs, so we ended out trip prematurely and jumped on a plane, to fly back and go to our local (covered) doctors\hospitals xmas day.
Bill for those 4 hrs in emerg.... ~$10k.
I have travel\medical\whatever insurance through work.... been fighting with them and the hospital ever since... we are now over 10 months in, and I'm being threatened with being sent to collections because the bill still isn't paid.....
Insurance is an unregulated scam just about any time you need it.... just about anywhere!
I ended up with Progressive last year since Nationwide almost doubled my car insurance with no explanation. New insurance is about the same cost as my old policy with slightly better coverage. Changing homeowners made up most of the difference since the value of my home has gone through the roof over the last 4-5 years.
The area makes a difference though, my insurance is $900 a year for two vehicles, I am 30 and my wife is 29. Liability and roadside on both.
