Replying to: qbrozen (Mar 21, 2007 9:25 am) I know I know, lol, everytime I *hope* its the last time believe me, car shopping is getting to be less and less fun. I wouldn't have done it this time, but the thought of saving over $400/month just by downsizing was WAY too tempting to not do it. The loan on the Durango is small enough I can pay it off quickly. The payment and insurance on the Ram was just stupid high, in fact, if I came clean about the whole loan/payment/interest rate/insurance stuff with that truck you would ALL shoot me!!! I wish I had gone with my gut feeling that night and NOT bought the Ram, I didn't want it, I tried to leave, but hubby talked me into buying it. I would have been better off to lose my deposit and walk away. Believe me, trading it in was a GOOD thing!!! Oh and I DID NOT roll one penny of negative equity into the Durango's loan!!

Replying to: growwise (Mar 21, 2007 9:54 am) Par for the course with an older VW--some repair is required about every 3-5,000 miles, with a few longer stretches with no repairs where you delude yourself into thinking that everything's fixed. |

Replying to: akangl (Mar 21, 2007 10:39 am)  The one thing I'd say to akangl is, if your *gut feeling* is not to do a car trade, even if it's down to the last 2 minutes & you're feeling pressure, then Don't Do It. Unless you're getting some unbelievable deal, there's "Always Another Car". And just to add my own crazy opinion: if you're "making payments", you need to be especially conservative. It's one thing if you're loaded enough to buy a new Porsche or RR or Dodge Ram out of Petty Cash. If not, well..... Just my 2 cents, good luck.....

Replying to: guss (Mar 21, 2007 10:30 am) The numbers worked. $13.9 for a new Carolla or $8.5 for a 2004 Impala with 65k miles. Seemed to me that I was buying 65k miles for $5,400. And the vehicle will be my new ride.

Replying to: woodyww (Mar 21, 2007 11:45 am) I agree and that's how I feel now. I just wish I had felt that way back in July. Oh well, didn't cost us too badly to get out of the Ram thankfully. I'm glad to be out of it and into something a little more fit for us. |

My local Mazda dealer is trying to renig on our prepaid maintenance policy. At first they refused to pay for the 1st radiator flush, but after some nasty words back and forth they gave in. Now we're waiting to hear back from the GM as to what they'll do about the remaning radiator flush and the tranny service. Very angry with them right now. I have a paper showing what we were told we paid for from the F&I guy. And there's also another paper with what they're saying we bought. Thus the problem. I've never been a fan of these things and won't do it again. But we just want what we were promised & paid for. Not a happy camper today....  The Sandman
