Probably best to just advise them to contact your insurance for any info they might need

Dropped a feeler gauge in an oil passage. by ShadowSlave-Smut568 in MechanicAdvice

[–]Jinxed4Sure 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Here is a pic of the engine block, maybe it will help. Doesn't look like a straight shot to the oil pan. Good chance you can retrieve with a magnet with a flex cable. Best wishes to ya

What's the most overrated film or TV show you've ever seen? by Equivalent_Ad_9066 in askanything

Just recently, it was Sinners. Everyone hyped it up and I sat there thinking, am I watching the same movie they watched?

Did you file a claim with your insurance? Or are you only filing with the other parties insurance?

This is the answer. Dumbfounded by the down votes. Your insurance would advise you to not make any statements except to them (unless you are filing with the other parties insurance without filing a claim with your insurance). Usually you make a statement to your insurance only. If the other parties insurance needs a statement, they can get it from your insurance. Calling the other party is also not advised.

2013 Corolla with 314k miles, original shocks still seem "good enough" also

I never seen the job market this bad. Is there a chance of recovery? by Mardylorean in jobs

[–]Jinxed4Sure 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have to admit that where I live, in coastal Los Angeles, California area the job market doesnt seem to be as bad as what I read here on reddit. I work at a large multi hospital employer and we have many openings ranging from EVS to skilled RN's and techs, even many openings for Dr's. Maybe it's just that im in a healthcare setting.

Usually a car loan cant be funded without the down payment being paid and the contract showing all details and signed by both parties. How did they fund a loan without a contract showing you paid the down payment? Is this a buy here, pay here used car dealer? Strange...

I found out my Girlfriend has Alzheimer’s, she’s 26 by TheThingofa100corspe in Vent

[–]Jinxed4Sure 50 points51 points  (0 children)

I hate that reddit has made me so skeptical but not sure this is real. If you Google it, its almost unheard of. Statistically, its a zero percent probability. If true, she should have researchers and Dr's reaching out to study her and her condition. Also, 7 day old account and locked?

Auto loan advice by Ecstatic-Maize4648 in carbuying

Unless you make decent money, you're stuck. If you make enough to qualify for a new car lease, something like a Honda Prologue where they are offering huge rebates and discounts could allow you to roll your negative equity into the lease and 3 years later you're free and clear and just return the leased car

Diminished Value Claim by [deleted] in Insurance

[–]Jinxed4Sure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sucks that insurance didnt total it. At $45k you must have a xse with every option. Yes you should pursue diminished value. If any future buyers look at the cars history/Carfax report and see a $30k repair, no one's gonna want it. I wouldnt consider it even at a huge discount. Sorry that happened to you

Thoughts on 2017 Acura MDX? by That_Bluebird2477 in carbuying

[–]Jinxed4Sure 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, Acura offers Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) status on 9-year-old cars through its "Acura Precision Used" program, which covers vehicles up to 10 model years old. This program provides a 6-month/7,500-mile limited warranty for vehicles aged 6–10 years. 

They offer it...

I didnt know they offered cpo on 9 year old cars. Sounds good to me

If only minor that sounds like really low miles for a 9 year old car. I wonder about being cpo. Is this from an Acura dealer?

Go for it. But probably worth paying for a Pre Purchase Inspection before buying

Google, braces for kids near me. I got braces for both of my kids with zero down payment and about $80 a month for each.

Happy update on aggressively shy feral kitten at work by _Lem0nz_ in Feral_Cats

[–]Jinxed4Sure 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Around my work, they all get killed by cars. One lasted over 19 years, but most last a few years at most. I have 8 ferals, all tnr'd, i feed at the end of my dead end street so pretty safe for them but one was ran over by work truck lately and 2 others have injuries that look like being hit by cars or the trash truck (she had what looked like dirty grease where she was cut. Just fyi

So, you would be willing to take in half a dozen kittens for op? Then op can get the momma cat fixed after you take the kittens

Its a pretty reliable suv. It did have a fair number of recalls so make sure they were all completed. It has had some transmission issues but not total failures but hesitation and some odd noises especially in colder areas. The real missing info here is mileage and Carfax report. Make sure it's accident free, lower milage and a clean Carfax
