I am not a fan of extended warranties, but I understand how some people like them. I would rather roll the esp cost into an emergency fund for repairs and take my chances. The odds are in your favor of coming out ahead. If I were to buy an esp, I would not buy it when the vehicle is new or roll...

Wow! What a shame that somebody did that.

I still want to know where these people from CA are getting all that money. It is not adding up. Housing prices have been high there for quite a while. Plus, add that the cost of living there is through the roof. For someone to get a lot of equity out of their home, (1) their loan to value has...

Wow, you got that house for a great deal! Very fortunate it was not stripped clean by the previous owners. Back then it was very easy to find kitchen cabinets, appliances, pool filters and pumps, etc on CraigsList. It was a crazy time.

I agree with what Dave said, that it would be a bad idea to raise the price of the F-150. The competition in the full-sized trucks is fierce and I'm sure Ford would not want to lose market share.

When did you buy your house? I'm in North-East Phoenix - Desert Ridge. I purchased my home in 1999 and going off the $80k over asking price that an exact comp to my home, one block away, recently sold for, I am right at 340% appreciation.

Not to pile on, but as someone who mainly owns Ford’s and Toyota’s, I would have to say Toyota service has been significantly better for me too. My last two Ford warranty/recall claims were not handled well at all. My 2017 Mustang had body panels that didn’t line up correctly. I never even...

Wow! That is a nice Ranger. Keep it if you can,. If not, maybe list it on Ebay?

Yes, facts are facts. Tacoma's may be known for many things, but eating U-Joints and wheel bearings certainly is not one of them. My 2011 Tacoma Double-Cab v6 4x4 has 93k miles on it and still has the original U-Joints and wheel bearings. I know it sounds amazing, but it is true. So, what lift...

LOL, I can’t tell you how many full sized trucks I used to race in my 2008 Rav4. It was a great sleeper in it’s day. It used to do low to mid 6 second 0 to 60. It was fun from a stop light or getting on a highway. I could beat or run side-by-side with most full sized trucks. I can’t tell you how...

Interesting point about the sub-prime loans fueling auto sales. These types of loans have been around for years. The only way to stop this madness is for people stop buy over-priced vehicles. Ever own a boat or RV? Back in the early 90’s when I got into boats, 10 year notes were common. LOL, I...

The term “financial re-balancing” sounds scary. If this is another way of saying loan consolidation, then be very careful. If I this is the case, I would strongly consider talking to Carvana. I have had a few friends who consolidated debt to make their monthly payments more manageable...

I have to agree with Floyd on this one. I'll take used any day over a lease.

LOL! Best post of the day!

Check out the YouTube channel “Cars and Zebras”. The channel shows all sorts of purse stock muscle car drag races. For the most part, I agree with you that the Ranger would either beat or hold its own against most of the old muscle cars that were stock. There are a few of the old muscle cars...

Oh, looks like I struck a nerve here. Are you a former dealership employee! Finance guy maybe? Here is one thing that I find interesting. You go on a juvenile-like rant and say that I am NUT JOB (in caps btw) and a few other things and fail to refute anything I said. So please tell me where I am...

I totally respect you for honoring your word on this. I would honor this too if both the dealer and I agreed to this for a specific deal. Now if the dealer attempted to pull a fast one on me, I would refi or pay this off before 3 months.

So, what is my problem with dealership finance representatives? Good question! The answer is that these guys are the highest paid, and best salespeople the dealership has. They guys will rip you off with a smile on their face and I think most people don’t even realized it. I’ve seen a few good...

I would like to see the clause in the contract that says you have to keep the loan for at least 90 days. This would amount to an early payment penalty which I believe is not legal on a car loan. What you might get though is an angry phone call from the finance guy because he just lost cash from...

Ok…lets be honest here. This is not close to the disaster of the Mustang II. I have owned 6 Mustangs too and I like the Mach-E. I would love to own a Mach-E GT.
