This Is The Most Ridiculous Used Car Quote I’ve Ever Seen The used car market, for the most part, has shifted back in favor of the buyers instead of the sellers. With deals to be had on most of your typical cars and incredible savings on EVs, it also means that some dealers are pulling out all the stops to get you in the door even if the real price isn’t what it appears… Read more…

Camper vs normal car This is still a few months away but my wife and I are planning to go road tripping (3rd time if this pushes through) and trying to decide if we should get a camper that sleeps the two of us or just get a fuel efficient car and sleep in motels for three weeks. I also would prefer to travel through the north closer to canada and either end up in B…

Zombie Stellantis Car Sales, A Cheap VW EV Lease And A Deeply Discounted Maserati MC20 In This Week’s Car Buying Roundup There are few things I love more than year-end sales reports. I just get such a kick out of seeing how things sold and what sorts of long-dead vehicles are still showing up on sales sheets. Every automaker has some stragglers, but no one is better at selling discontinued vehicles than Stellantis. – Andy Kalmowitz Read… Read more…

Algarve- multiple cities or 1 city? (Solo and no car) Hello! I’m wondering if it is worth to travel to Lagos, Albufeira, Faro… staying 3 nights at each? I’m thinking it’s a bit of hassle with a LARGE suitcase. submitted by /u/dontanswer1

LPT: You can probably get a flat copy of your car key just for the doors. Keep one in your wallet to avoid being locked out in an accident. Modern car keys usually have big, bulky ends or are integrated into bulky key fobs. But if all you need is a key to unlock the door in an emergency (such as locking your keys in your car), there are probably key blanks available for your car that are just flat keys with no plastic bulk to hold electronics. Those add very little bulk to your wall…

Chrysler Insists It’s Still A Car Company And Is Totally Developing New Cars You Just Can’t See Yet Currently, the only vehicle Chrysler sells is the Pacifica. It’s a pretty good minivan if you ignore the reliability issues, especially since you can get it as a plug-in hybrid, but that’s it. The 300 is dead, and the Voyager doesn’t count. No one knows what Chrysler is supposed to be anymore, and it felt like the… Read more…

Empty nesters going down to one car Currently, my wife and I each have a car. My wife is retired, but very active in community activities in our little Midwestern county seat down, and I am working from home, while in the middle of a one-year retirement program. Occasionally I need to drive for work, but generally no more than 15 miles from my home. During a COVID-related supply c…

LPT: Don’t skip car insurance add-ons like rental reimbursement. If your car is in the shop after an accident, rental reimbursement can cover the cost of a temporary vehicle.

Every Car You Can Get With A Manual In 2025 The death of the manual transmission has been talked about for decades at this point. With the advent of electric vehicles and a general attitude shift as to what a car should be, stick-shift cars are getting left by the wayside. Still, some soldier on, undeterred by what has been said about them and their lack of… Read more…

Tow Truck Companies Sell Your Car In 15 Days If You’re Poor Enough In Connecticut While we all probably have a story of an egregious parking job that fully justified calling a tow truck, most cars aren’t towed because some rando blocked a pregnant woman’s driveway right before she tried to leave for the hospital. It can happen for much more minor reasons such as simply misreading a sign. If you… Read more…

Bought a nice car… and then I got a remote job. I am kinda on a lower income, about 45k/year as an early 20s woman. Got into car crash, car was totaled, had a job that was a 40 min drive just one way, so I got a 2023 Nissan Rogue (not a nice car I guess in the sense of what some of you talk about… but very nice for a new teacher haha). I can afford it fine… but I really only got it becaus…

What’s The Next Car You Have Your Eye On In 2025? As many of you know, I recently bought a cheap 2015 Fiat 500e because I wanted something that would get me around town for as little money as possible. It’s tiny, gets terrible range when it’s cold out, and yet, I love it. It does what it advertises, and so far, I haven’t had any real problems. It’s fun to drive, the… Read more…
