Re: My Poor Car

Your probably right. A lot just don't follow up though. I hate the ones that just keep following up though. Paying cash used to get you a better deal but not so much anymore. I think the only time I would finance one is with 0% financing but nobody will do that on a used car so it probably won't happen.

Re: My Poor Car

I went from a car note to a cash car and I'm happy with the decision. After being debt free when it comes to cars I'll never have a car note again. I got a VW Jetta with the TDI diesel motor. It gets great mileage but to be honest I wish I had just gotten a Toyota or something like that. The VWs are really strange to work on and nothing seems to be set up like what we are used to. I got a good price on it but right after I bought it I had to spend $2000 on replacing all the coolant lines, fuel lines, water pump, timing belt, and some gaskets. So my $3500 car went to a $5500 car. Ok I could deal with that. Next my dang fuel pump went out. To get a rebuilt one the best price I found for just the pump was $1400! So then after about $350 worth of labor my car now cost me over $7k! After all that I'm still happy with no note. My car is now making some vibration sound when I brake lightly. Not when the car is heated up and going at highway speeds just low speeds. Anyhow I think my next one will be a Toyota or a Honda. But not until I put as many miles as I can on this one.
