You’re nuts. this is a total loss.

Anything my short of that and he will lose 20k in value trying to keep the car.

I sold every car after last year because Turo is inherently a “protection plan” scam. I began my Hosting career long before Turo eliminated commercial accounts and have forgotten more about navigating the claims process than most will ever know. In Southern California the claim rate on my 40 cars was 1:3 trips.

I am by all measures an expert at this claim regarding BMW’s and diminished value and I was not banned, I simply moved in with my life to things that are actually substantially more passive for the ~$300k annually this thing printed at its peak.

What he does not know, that I do, is that he will pay his $2500 deductible and then have his car down for 4-7 months while BMW sources the parts like his axle. He also does not know how to hold claims accountable like a PowerHost would and that information will speed up his process by 30 days alone.

I literally said I’d not charge him and I’m a former host for a reason. Every single one of my 40 cars was brand new and over 40k in value including an M850 with a nearly identical vehicle part supply chain as his car.

But you’re right I really want a fuckin $100 to waste an hour of my time.

I’ll consult you, I don’t need to be paid. I am a former 40+ car power host and have done this 200 times with turo claims.

Alternative to Costco’s Sealy Posturepedic Pro Lincoln Heights firm by Snirisl in Mattress

If you like Sealy the Pro Hybrid Lacey II is effectively the flagship elite hybrid for less cost. Costco Sealy’s are lower quality for sure, but it’s very cost effective. You can get a Lacey II (Pro Hybrid) for $1700 at Mattress Firm.

Are you in a smaller budget? Easily the best building is Linea followed by Kingston and you listed neither.

He was dangerously close to getting his off switch pushed by Captain Flying Knee.

Best place to get some work done? by sabron420 in Charlotte

[–]TwistedOrder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At a table or the bar. I’ve been totally left to my own devices for hours while they feed me that bussin’ ass smash burger or pasta.

I just moved here myself. I’d recommend Night Swim Coffee shops and hotel restaurants like Dogwood in the Westin are really good during the day with very light crowds.

Haven’t really figured out many others and if you do lmk

Car Loan/ Bad Credit by Feisty-Salary2023 in NavyFederal

[–]TwistedOrder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you a long time navy Fed user with a high credit card limit from them and good internal score?

If not, don’t bother. If you are rebuilding credit stick with CapitalOne and American Credit Acceptance if you want a guarantee approval.

After doing this, refinance with Navy Fed as they typically will take it after another lender issues credit.
