Is my car worth all these repairs? I have a 2008 Honda Civic. I originally bought it for $8,000, with 103,000 miles. I put down around 2k or 3k if I remember correctly. It’s hard for me to remember because it was a car I bought immediately after getting into a car accident with a different car I bought a month earlier. That was about 2 years ago. Some things have gone wrong wi…

Car dealership ran multiple hard inquiries. How bad is it? Hi folks, Asking on behalf of a significant other. His credit was thin and not very good (~550-600), and he was shopping for a car loan.

He went and saw a car he loved, and the dealer assured him with 1k down he could get a loan even if SO’s credit was 100 points lower. A…

Am I stupid for not paying off this car loan? So I had been wanting a new car for a few months. I’ve been able to afford one for a while now but I forced myself to push it off.

Dad passed away, not sure what to do with his car I’d been driving. I’m not sure if this is the right sub to ask, but here goes. My dad very recently passed away, he didn’t have a will or an attorney, or anything like that. He’d given me a car about a decade ago, but for whatever reason we just never bothered signing the title over. A few months before he passed we registered it as non-op (still under his name),…

Is it possible to see Normandy without a car? My main base will be in Paris, but I would like to see the American Cemetery in Colleville-sur-Mer and Mont Saint-Michel. I would prefer to use rail and taxi rather than renting a car. From the research I’ve done, it looks like I could take a train to Bayeux, taxi to the Cemetery and stay in Bayeux for the night. I also see I can get to Mont Sai…
