Mom in Car Accident (Not at Fault) Hey all, so my mom was in a car accident this afternoon. She had a green light and proceeded into the intersection.

My grandmother is in a car loan and needs out of it In 2022, my mother (we will call her Jane) needed to get a car but her credit didn’t allow her to get the car at an affordable payment so my grandmother (we will call her Mary) signed with her to lower the payments. A year later, Jane told Mary that she can’t afford the payments anymore and gave the car back to Mary. Mary wants to sell the car b…

How to deal with a car that I’m in the hole with? I have a 2013 MINI with 90k miles that I started financing last year. I chose the 6 year plan (what I could afford at the time), which is $216 a month. I owe $10,900 currently at 8.49%. My credit score has moderately improved since getting this car, it sits around 705 right now, and my income has greatly improved – I was making around 30,000 a y…

Car insurance canceled randomly, how should I proceed?

2k initial quote ended up in 17k total in car repairs, but car likely not worth 17k. Scammed from shop or insurance company? Why didn’t they total. I need advice on a situation. My car was rear ended by some 18 year old and I went through his policy to get it repaired. I have a 2018 Mercedes and went to a Mercedes certified shop for a quote, however the insurance told me I needed to pick the shop to get my rental. I dropped my car off at the shop, they gave me a quote of 2,300, told me to l…

Any risk in taking a cashier’s check for a car over the weekend while the bank is closed? I am selling a 2009 Honda Civic for about $8500 on Facebook. It’s a good deal on the car, especially considering I’m not in a big city. Tons of people have asked about it and while lots of people are trying to lowball me, there are a couple of local people who are eager to pay full price. One of them wants to see the car tomorrow morning and sai…

Sure Looks Like This Cop Intentionally Hit Another Cop With A Cop Car I don’t know about you, but when I’m out terrorizing the streets of Los Angeles, I actively try to avoid hitting people.

Whats The Worst Car Buying Advice You’ve Received? Along with my colleague Tom McParland, I’m a big proponent of helping people navigate the sewers that is the car buying world. While some older buyers who have been in the game many times can have good insights, there are a lot of people out there who say things that just show they have no idea what they’re talking… Read more…

Laid off, should I trade me car in? So I was hired in May to my job paying 25/hr. At the time I was hired I was driving a 17 Accord and paying 292 per month. Two weeks after I started the job I got into a car accident and my car was totaled. At the time (May 23) the prices of used cars were so high, they were basically the same as the price of a brand new one, and so I bought a br…
