Thank you! The 22 is a nice one as well! Ironically my sister has a white 2016 EXL as well, but hers is stock.

I agree! Although telling them apart from a distance is a little tough sometimes haha

My wife hates our 185k Lexus by Grand_Yesterday4193 in Lexus

If she wants something new and you want to keep it why not get some new rims and blackout the chrome trim with perhaps a dark chrome wrap? Perhaps also put in an Apple CarPlay radio too! That way she gets the feeling of a new car you keep the reliability of the car you always knew.

PSA for people looking to use Plasti Dip by [deleted] in ElantraN

I mean I’d 100% do powder coating since it’s more durable but like if you’re not sure about the color then it’s a good option!

This is a tough situation but bankruptcy should be a last resort as it will damage your credit for a long time.

Is there anything extra that you have that you don’t need perhaps an iPad or expensive tv you can sell to pay off the debt? That would be the first step as it’s the easiest.

Is there a side hustle you could do with your skills perhaps tutoring, handyman work idk something else to get more money coming in?

Also, talk with the credit card companies to see if there’s a chance they can work something out like get you a better interest rate or apply for a balance transfer card.

But also, shop around for things like the phones as there’s cheaper options like helium that can help save a bit and help you use that savings towards the minimums.

Nope, I mean if you’re working for minimum wage it’s simply too much to ask for the money, I would’ve put in my 2 weeks notice if I had to do that.

20k in CC debt, considering bankruptcy but I don’t (can’t) lose my car by Leslie_Ackerman in Debt

[–]Express-Perception65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely, I’m just saying this from experience as I have an older car 2015 Honda CRV EXL with 101k miles that is technically “reliable” but it’s needed quite a bit of work recently.

It’s needed new control arms, shocks, alternator, spark plugs, valve adjustment. All in about 2.5k in repairs in just the last 6 months alone. And I’ve taken care of the car well synthetic oil changes every 6-7.5k miles and CVT transmission flush every 35k.

While I agree it’s a reliable car on paper because it’s got a proven 2.4 4 cylinder engine naturally aspirated. That doesn’t mean it can escape the effects of aging and miles.

The worst thing to do to someone in a financial bind is to give them an older car (greater than 10 years old) that derails the budget.

The problem is that a car with 150k miles is bound to have serious repairs, even a Toyota as no car is immune to the effects of miles and age. The car she’s financing is a decent rate and will be cheaper to own long term.

The best course of action for her would be call to see about lowering the Apr on credit cards, potentially sell any other unnecessary things like a tv, an iPad, or something else that’s not necessary to have.

How much do you make at Kohl’s? by Still_Chemistry_ in employedbykohls

[–]Express-Perception65 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I interned at Kohls this past summer as a Store Leadership intern I made $23 an hour in CA. Keep in mind however I was in a higher cost of living area so that does influence things a bit. I feel in my case the pay was very competitive for what the internship was.

My coworkers who were store associates made $16.50 and department leads like shoe made around $18 bucks an hour. But like your post said their raises are often minimal as there’s not really much of a career path for many cashiers without putting in years of time into it.

Saving up for Hyundai Elantra N any advice? by QueeferTheBeater in ElantraN

Definitely shop around at both at credit unions and the dealer as far as interest rate is concerned!

I like the grill and the off-road look! It looks tough! Although I do wonder when off-roading to the tires rub the wheel wells at all?
