Made a big car financial misstep what should I do? Hi so a couple weeks ago I got suckered at a Toyota dealership and financed a used $35k car at 8.2 APR for 72 months. I’m 23 making $19/hr and I realized pretty quick that I made a pretty crazy mistake especially looking at insurance rates. I’m guessing the top advice will probably be to sell the car and get a beater, but are there any other way…

What Popular Car Do You Irrationally Hate? I can’t stand Jeeps. Wranglers, to be exact. Out of all the cockamamie concepts behind a motor vehicle meant to be driven for hundreds of thousands of miles on multi-lane highways, the Jeep Wrangler is the most absurd. At least, that’s my read on the iconic Jeep, which I’ve never come around to despite trying the… Read more…

Car Accident During a Rental. My Insurance Company has Done Nothing. Case Sent to Collections. How Do I Move Forward? A year ago, I rented a minivan for a week while on vacation. On the last day, I discovered that the van had been hit by another car. It didn’t happen while I was driving, so it must have happened while we were at dinner the night before.
