Should we buy a car in full or finance a loan? Hello! My husband and I (29M and 30F) recently got married and have started looking into getting preapproved for a mortgage to hopefully buy a house within the next year. However, last month, I was in an accident where my car was deemed a total loss so we have been looking into a new vehicle. We found a nice certified pre-owned Subaru SUV with v…

Really struggling on new vs used car (and how much cash to spend) Really struggling to understand what car to buy right now. Stuck between purchasing a 2018/2019 with 60-90k miles outright vs using that same $$ as a downpayment and financing the remainder (under 10k) of a new vehicle, paid off in 3 years. I know that I’ll pay more if I finance (looking at 2.9% apr) over the life of the loan, but is having a n…

Brock Yates’ 1987 Lamborghini LM002 Review In Car And Driver Predicted The Rise Of The Super SUV At a car show in Los Angeles I was able to sit in a Lamborghini LM002 for the first time, which was a very memorable experience even putting aside the fact that it was the very LM002 that Beyoncé used to own. I’ve always loved this outrageous SUV, and seeing them in real life never gets old. Later that day I was… Read more…

Car Stolen: Dealing with Insurance, Negative Equity, and a 7-Month Wait for a New Car—What Happens to My Loan?” Last week, my car was stolen, but thankfully I had comprehensive insurance. My insurance company is offering me $35,000 for the vehicle. However, my loan balance is $47,000, leaving me with $12,000 in negative equity.

Car Loan Payoff Help Hello, So I’m kinda confused with my car loan. So my principal and interest amount is $470.59 and I’m paying $500 a month. I owe $24,303 right now. Every month I pay $500 but the loan only drops about $300. So, for example, when I pay $500 again, it’ll probably drop to $24,000 instead of $23,800. Can you explain that to me please. submitted…

Car rental – I’m about to be scammed I really appreciate the shared experience in this sub, so I’m posting here for some advice. I am about to be “scammed” by a car rental company.

What Car Deserves To Die In 2025? There are a lot of fun cars coming out in 2025 that we are pretty excited to see hit the highway.

I rented a car in portugal and got an invoice for $600usd for tolls 5 months later Hi! I rented a car for all of May 2024 in Portugal. We drove here and there from Ericeira to Torres Vedras, to Mafra and other areas nearby. I rented the car with Centauro and based on their contract it says every car is equipped with a transponder and that automatically gets deducted from your deposit. I was under the impression this was the ca…

The Average Car I Drove This Year Was A $108,000, 415 HP Crossover I drove a lot of vehicles in 2024.

Are the saving on car insurance advertisements a hoax? I keep seeing “save on car insurance” ads everywhere or “shop around for better rates” advice. However every time I try to do this, I spend 15 minutes entering information only to be given a quote that is way higher than what I’m already paying. Has anyone actually benefited by shopping for cheaper insurance? submitted by /u/shimmiecocop…

Car totaled, not at fault, what should I know/do? This past weekend, I was rear-ended by an inattentive driver. My car, 2010 Subaru Forester with 250,000 miles on the clock, looks like it escaped with nothing more than some minor damage, but I just found out today it is likely totaled. This is primarily because the crash caved in the spare tire well, which is part of the unibody. I’ve owned thi…
