    How long for the license plate registration?

    Insurance is not an issue. I have had auto insurance coverage the day I picked the car up. They used the VIN. The dealer requested the insurance details and the binder week earlier. I am going to call them today. I doubt calling DMV will help but may do that too.

    Installing rear dash cam on window without damaging tint

    Consider getting a phone TPU screen protector. Stick that protector on that film and then attach dashcam to the TPU screen protector. When you want to remove it, use floss to remove. TPU will stay there and hopefully will not affect the screen.

    Steering wheel cover, recommendation?

    Just got 2023 Camry Hybrid with cold package (Heated steering wheel). Probably, because of that the steering wheel came covered in some synthetic material. I do not like the feeling of that material. I am looking to put a cover on the steering wheel. Can anyone recommend one. Thanks in advance.

    How long for the license plate registration?

    I got a Camry Hybrid last weekend. The dealership was lazy to transfer the plates so will be getting new ones. They use some sort of service to do the registrations and wasn't sure how to work that out. Any idea how long it usually takes to get the new plates from the DMV? This is my first time...

    Selling car to Peddle, what to expect?

    Already turned in the plates, removed registration stickers. The guy showed up, checked if the cat is original. AFAIK, it was but he claimed it is aftermarket. I didn't want to argue, took $400. Signed the title and he took the car,

    Selling car to Peddle, what to expect?

    I decided to sell the car to peddle. I have an offer code. I am going to call today for a pick up. According to their website, I hand over the title and they give me a check. I am not clear if I have any role with the DMV, like do I need to fill up and sign a sell form, remove registration...

    Car donation, do i need to file itemised tax?

    I am thinking of donating our 2006 sentra with ailing transmission. Peddle value is $540. Our tax bracket is 24%. Should I even bother with donation or just sell it to peddle? I honestly don't want to deal if I have to itemize the deductions. Thank you.

    Any extra hassles to transfer the plates from the older vehicle?

    I have the blue white liberty plates. Those plates are on my wife's name but this car is on my name. As @Dave Sherman mentions, it could be a problem.

    Any extra hassles to transfer the plates from the older vehicle?

    They are not actually scratched or worn. Surprisingly held up very well.

    Any extra hassles to transfer the plates from the older vehicle?

    I am picking up a new car tomorrow. The dealership is suggesting it is easier to get new plates. Is there really extra hassle to transfer the plates vs getting new ones? I don't care about extra $20-30 for using the older plates. This is NY. Thanks in advance.

    Auto dimming rear view mirror upgrade?

    AFAIK, the wiring is the tricky part. I was hoping somebody would make USB-powered, but I could not find any.

    Auto dimming rear view mirror upgrade?

    Before you go change the mirror, I would try those dimming films. I do not have experience with them yet, but thats what I am going to try first on my new Camry.

    Wife is getting pooped on at her toxic workplace.

    Time to look for a new job. God forbid they make her a scapegoat in some patient treatment issue and her license is on the line. I hope the new place to good to work at.

    Filling out auto loan application a week before pick up?

    Is your credit union PenFed? I have not seen rates lower than 5% anywhere.

    Filling out auto loan application a week before pick up?

    The ONLY reason of going 5 hours for Camry is, everyone around me wanted at least 3000 over MSRP for the car that is not even built yet. Paying MSRP itself is making me uncomfortable but in absence of a car, commuting is extremely difficult. So I don't mind driving for 5 years and we plan to...

    Filling out auto loan application a week before pick up?

    So my Camry Hybrid has arrived at the dealership yesterday but I am working this weekend, so unable to go pick up. Its a 5 hour drive one way. So far, everything is done over the phone/email. Today, the salesman emailed for a copy of the driver's license and asked to fill up auto loan...

    options to dispose off a car

    Thank you for the ideas. The car has P0744 (or similar) transmission code. While driving the car jerks horribly and its not worth replacing the transmission. I am not too sure of the catalytic converter. I don't remember changing it but we bought it pre-owned
