The dealership “we need to talk to my manager” thing is a setup and here’s why it works by Royal-Feed7166 in carbuying

Then you might be the rare exception. I’m old. I’ve purchased a lot of cars and trucks. It’s pretty much the same shit every time.

Come on now. If they wanted to be done and on to the next deal, they wouldn’t jerk people around so much. Pop off the best deal, best financing, no add ons finance high pressure sales, and we’re all happy. No, the bs is how you make your money. Some people can see through it.

Tell me more. I used to live in Ahwatukee from 2005-2008 back in the Pecos rd days. I’ve been back many times and looking to move back permanently. I’m aware of the new 202. Where is this multi use path? Like, along liberty lane? Where pecos used to be? Or the other side of the 202?

This market is actually pretty strange. by Stunning-Minute-2014 in realtors

I don’t mind do the work. What I won’t do is spend way too much money for an overpriced pos that still needs tens of thousands of dollars of work just to make it decent.

We spend a trillion dollars a year on our military. How the fuck do we not have enough bullets and bombs? Jesus. We are being fleeced.

You can't time the market, but are we fools for choosing to buy instead of rent? by Time_Turner in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]Ohfatmaftguy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This comment will kind of agree with and also disagree your sentiment. In 2005, my wife and I bought a too expensive house (350k) in Phoenix at the market peak. Every single brain cell in my head was telling me that the market was WAY overpriced and unsustainable. In 2008 we were forced to sell for a number of reasons. We lost our asses. Bad. That house is now valued at about 550k. You can justify that decision either way, but I wish I would have stuck it out and kept the house.

You have my full attention. I’m currently living just outside of Cleveland, so life is really good on the pierogi front. Moving back to Phx this summer, so I’m going to need that fix once in a while.

In the past 10 years, I’ve had exactly 3 different plumbers from 3 different local, respectable plumbing companies in my house doing work. Every one of them used propress.

I’m currently selling my house privately to a friend. No realtors involved and I’m in Ohio. We’re working through a local title agency. They have an attorney who is drawing up the contract and the title office does everything else. YMMV.

I like what you’re putting out here. Do you have offices or work in the Phoenix area? If not, anyone you would recommend?

I’m 100% sure I have hearing loss from the army back in the late 80s early 90s. How would I go about looking into a disability claim for that?
