Car buyer needs to see title to process payment, is this legit? I’m selling a car and the buyer had previously requested that the title be signed over to their name and notarized as required by my state for a sale. This has been done, however now the buyer is also asking to see a copy of the signed and notarized title before they can issue a check. I was under the belief that once a person has the title, the…

Rear ended in hit and run. Car will most likely be totaled. What are my options? Rear ended in a hit and run. Car will most likely be totaled, even though perfectly drivable. As it says. If this isn’t the right place to post, kindly direct me elsewhere. Some drunk asshole hit my 2004 camry and sped off. I’m obviously not at fault, but the damage, once inspected is about the same as the current value of the car. Thing is, t…

Florida. Is “bundling” car insurance actually cheaper or is just marketing?? Speaking specifically about Geico. I switched from Progressive to Geico after my renewal policy cost skyrocketed.. Despite me just having purchased a car that is 10 years newer, 130k less miles and TONS of extra safety features. I see advertisements so bundling car insurance so I was just curious if it is actually a discount if I added my wife a…

Sell underwater car to use cheaper family member’s Hi. I’m currently financing a 2021 Cadillac CT5 for about 850 a month. It takes premium gas and with my move to Philadelphia this week, my insurance premium has gone up significantly, to about 2500 a year. I also work from home so I don’t have a daily commute.

Is it ever a good idea to buy a new/newer car? I 100% should not have gotten a new/newer car. I came here a few months ago inquiring which between two new cars should I get. (13% APR for 12k car or 8% APR for 20k car). Anyways everyone yelled at me to get a beater, and I ended up doing that VERY begrudgingly. I did not see why as I earned enough to pay for the monthly payment. Holy shit I’m…

Car blew up, what are my options at this point? I’ve been driving an old car into the ground for awhile. It was a 2000 Civic Si. Last night the engine began overheating to the point that smoke was visible from outside. I had it towed home. The car is obviously paid off but at this point I have dumped thousands of dollars of repairs into it over the years and it is out of date in terms of safe…

Car longevity with high mileage So I have a 2009 honda civic with close to 180k miles. I do regular interval maintenance but realize this car is getting high in its mileage. I’m nervous the car could have a blown head gasket or some other catastrophic repair that comes out of nowhere. This would be fine if not for the fact that I still owe $5000 for the car. In the event that …

Someone totaled my car and I need help understanding I was rear ended and my car still drives but it has frame damage and is smashed in the back. I was financing it, with 8,000 left on the loan and the other driver’s insurance (Viking) valued it at less than that amount, money which I understand goes straight to my lender, then gap insurance pays off the rest. The thing is, the car still runs and …

Spooked Horse Terrorizes Car-Free Island Mackinac Island in Michigan is one of the rare places in the U.S. where you won’t find a car, as the island has had a strict ban on cars for more than 100 years.

LPT request: How to get at-fault drivers insurance to help cover the cost of a new car after an accident? Two days ago I was driving home from work when someone texting and driving in the oncoming lane swerved into me and hit me head on. My car is totalled.

Engine in my car is blown. I have 20k left to pay on the car itself and the repair will be another 10k. Need advice. I have a 2017 suburu brz with 60k miles on it and a blown engine. The car is worth between 23-27k in good working order. I cannot pay out of pocket for the repair, and it seems my only main option is to take a personal loan to cover the repairs. However between insurance ($200) and my existing car payment ($428) it would be a REAL struggle for m…

LPT: If your car monitor is saying you have 30 miles left to go in the tank, it’s only as good as zero once you hit a big enough hill Source: just happened to me. Broke down in someone’s driveway and he said the hill was notorious for this kind of thing happening. I’m not a mechanic but I’d imagine that all the gas flows to the back of the tank and away from the fuel pump. submitted by /u/LampsLookingatyou
