  1. I'm a sales manager at a dealership. I did finance for almost two years and sold a lot of extended service contracts. If buying a used car, I've always bought one. Leased an Acadia last year and didn't get one for obvious reasons. I strongly suggest doing it but do your research first. Only buy an after market one from the dealership that you plan to have it serviced at 90% of the time. This will ensure that you'll have an easier time getting claims paid. Also, don't buy any coverage other than the top coverage (usually labeled platinum). Make sure it's exclusionary coverage and read the back of the contract before you sign/buy it.
  2. We just took in a 2010 135i (auto) that I drove home last night. Tonight I drove a brand spankin' new Regal GS. I can whole with all my heart that the GS is more fun, comfortable, and spacious car. A fully optioned one is under $40,000 and there are some pretty attractive incentives/financing/leases available on them right now.
  3. I drove a newer Maxima as a demo for about a week. I LOVE the car. If you're driving in sport mode, the transmission "shifts" in a normal fashion and doesn't feel that wonky to me even when not driving in sport mode. I've not driven the Taurus but I've always liked big full size, front-wheel drive sedans due to the amount of highway driving I've always done and can honestly say that I would buy it over almost any other car in its class.
  4. Yeah. I'm a notary and wouldn't do it even for someone that I know. Shit can get you in a lot of trouble.
  5. We bought a Flexsteel leather sofa and chair from Frontroom. Mom and dad bought their stuff there too way back when. Always had good luck. You will probably pay more but the brands are higher quality!
  6. In Soviet Russia, building climbs you!
  7. Breaking news! Fast and Furious 347 is in production!
  8. Going through a forclosure doesn't mean you have to file BK. I see shit like this all the time at work. We had a guy come in to lease a new car. Had all of his old shit (CC's, his own home, cars) paid perfectly and didn't have a ton of CC debt. The guy had not one, but two forclosures in mid to late 2010 on rental properties. One had a total of 11 late payments, the other only had 6 before it went back to the bank. Because he already had other things in his name to bring his score back up, his worst score is just below 700. I refinanced my house in 2010 @ 4.25% with my score being a 660 (much higher now, was still fixing the screw ups of being 19 with credit cards). The guy leased a brand new car without any issues. That's the problem with the whole situation. If executed with someone who knows what they're doing, there is little to no penalty for just handing the keys to your house. Not to mention the banks are still willing to give the guy loans! Edit: Not saying the guy could go out and get a mortgage right away but if you have an avenue to get the house you want through someone else or already have it before you kill your old house, your conscience will be the only thing you'll have to deal with.
  9. Terry Grimm -- A&T Painting http://www.aandtpainting.net/ Tell him Andy Gilbert referred you.
  10. My wife and I are currently debating on doing it. The only issue with our plan is that my dad is currently unemployed/prematurely retired and my mom is making $90k/year less than she used to. :fuuuu:
  11. Ever think about making your current home a rental and buying a new home? I know it could be a potential pain in the ass but at least then you can satisfy your conscience by not just handing over the keys to your current home. Still put the new home in daddy-in-law's name if the mortgage lenders won't give you a second mortgage loan. Just a thought...
  12. Wife had an 06 G35X. Car was a blast to drive. Nice pick up.
  13. Check Union Savings Bank (not US Bank). I'm looking at refinancing to a 15 year at 3.25% rate. Fee is $250. Win, win, win, no lose.

    New mods should ban her.

  16. You don't have to have a license to buy a car. As long as you have a state ID, you can purchase a car. You just can't drive one off the lot. Also, the story clearly stated she didn't buy it from the dealer. Could have been purchased private party and then gotten a 30 day tag from the registrar. But sure, blame the dealer....
