I tdoes do away with the annoying salesperson and their managers haggling over the price.

No income tax, I live in Chattanooga home of the VW plant. A 9.25% sales tax on everything. Yes, hot humid summers, rains from Dec thru March. VW was given incentives to build here, not sure the incentives ever balance out the contribution to the community, especially when people move here, no...

I test drove one, liked it but test drove the new Tucson Hybrid which is comparably equipped. For each model of the Hyundai Tucson it is about 5000-6000 less expensive than Toyota RAV 4 or Venza. . Warranty the same basically. The life of these hybrids is really the life of the battery pack...

I took delivery in Nov, Hybrid model. Not only comparable to the Toyota Venza and Rav 4 but a much, much better bang for the buck.

Not really bad consumption, I would live with it until it gets really bad and you have to check it every week. Then have the seals replaced. Ot if it really bothers you and you are going to keep the vehicle indefinitely get the repair done.

My last hybrid was a CVT and I loved it. Current vehicle a hybrid with a 6 speed, the CVT is the hands down winner. The 6 speed will hunt for the correct gear on a steep hill, the CVT was just smooth all the time and reliable.

Miracle Method in house we we about to sell. Finished product looked great, counter and tub were refinished. Based upon what I saw I think it would be years of use before any wear. I think two bathrrom counters and one tub were like 2000-3000, really smells for a day or so.

When the issue cannot be diagnosed by the dealer and it is a larger problem waiting to happen. Hybrid, 9 years old only 90,000 miles on it but the gas engine refused to shut down at stop lights or even coasting, started several months ago, dealer says it is fine cannot find any issues. How do...

Living in Chattanooga for past 9 years. Huge growth, fast internet and a developer friendly Mayor. Problem is, every road in the area needs resurfacing (either potholes, sink holes, large cracks just a mess), no new roads being built or widened, 4 new subdivision have gone up near me in past 5...

Have we defined well off? Having the Mercedes AMG or BMW in the driveway does not mean much if it is financed. Are we speaking of net worth (assets less liabilities) or just liquid assets, or annual income or????? A lot of definitions of wealth. Someone with a 20 year old vehicle, house paid for...

Also watch out for collusion. I swear some home inspectors get kickbacks from contractors, they find a problem and recommend a contractor to new buyer saying that only they can do the work. Seller is left with no sale or use the contractor

The 2013 Elantras were the 1.8 L engine, at least mine is.

I also had a 1977 Rabbit that I ran Castrol 10W50 year round. The 10W50 was hard to find but I really had no issues with it back then, lived in CT at the time.

a 2001, sure it is simply not old age?

When we replaced appliances a couple of years ago the salesperson said stay away from Samsung if it has anything to do with water (dishwasher and fridge). We do love our Samsung oven and gas cook top though, no issues with either.

Daughter recently purchased a new Mustang E and I went with her to pick it up. A mess, they had add ons she never agreed to, forgoet her down payment, then a company discount. The paperwork had to be done 3 times due to the idiots behind the desk, not the sales person. Unfortunately only the...

As you age and have grandchildren you may consider moving closer to one of the children. Also, consider which child has a better outlook for caring for you as you age, helping you in lieu of you helping them.

The belief behind a Roth is that taxes in the future will be more than taxes today. In my case, the taxes (or tax bracket) for me today is lower than when I was contibuting to traditional IRAs working. So, I don't believe the Roth would have been a better route in my case. Not only is there a...
