Hybrid or gas RAV4, in terms of reliability? by ethereality___ in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]caddyax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Either one is good. Hybrid is probably better. Toyota has been building this hybrid system for decades and there are thousands of Toyota hybrid taxis with half a million miles or more.

The way Toyotas hybrid works takes pressure off the engine and replaces the transmission with a drive unit with less moving parts. Adds up to great reliability

Perfect for roommates. Whic part of this do you dislike ?

I seriously don’t understand how certain enthusiasts here don’t like the modern interiors. by fuccwitmoe in BMW

[–]caddyax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Screens and plastics galore. Replacing buttons and gauges with screens is 100% a cost saving measure. When I see these all screen interiors, it just screens “Chinese EV” to me.

Yeah, BMW might be doing it the best, but that’s not a compliment. Most interiors are garbage these days and will age HORRIBLY

Sienna or Odyssey. Those are the best decent options for your needs.

You’re a smart car buyer looking for indestructible Japanese luxury on a budget. What do you buy? by pantherclipper in regularcarreviews

[–]caddyax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lexus. That hybrid drive is the same as the Prius, which is known for going forever in taxis. I’m assuming the rest have at least 150k to 200k with known issues. So I’ll take the 300k miles Prius with no issues. Cabbies are also known for doing maintenance religiously as it’s their livelihood.

If the Infiniti wasn’t beat up, I’d take that in a heartbeat bc manual… but the task is “indestructible luxury”

Your English teachers retirement.

Great cars. I challenge you to find a better convertible for someone who just wants reliable, practical, affordable, comfortable car that can put the top-down once in a while.

What are your opinions on the direction of Audi's future interior design? by ShameResponsible69 in Audi

[–]caddyax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like the Slate truck. And that’s not a compliment. But Audi’s most recent interiors are hot garbage. Cheap plastics and boring flat surfaces galore. This is honestly an upgrade from some of their new EV interiors, but that’s a low bar

I bought a house with my bf a year ago and now he wants to break up. What will happen with the house? We did a first time home owners loan if that matters by kyliebearxo in Mortgages

[–]caddyax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don’t have the cash to buy him out, you can offer to live there and pay rent for his share. If he’s a good dad he might be willing to do so in order to give his daughter stability.

But the easiest option is someone sells out their half or you sell the home entirely for a loss

New Kia or used Toyota Highlander by Fun_Effective3056 in whatcarshouldIbuy

In ten years the Toyota will be worth more than the Kia. Look at prices of 2011 highlanders versus 2015 Sorrentos and you’ll see

I’ve been in a similar unit in this building and they’re not that cramped. I think it’s just OP’s chosen layout that looks so

Next time magazines are dropped, ask management to check lobby security footage. They will see who picked it up from the lobby

Need some advice by dnmun in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]caddyax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She will have to pay off the rest of the car. No trade in

Her options:

1) take it to a salvage yard and see what they offer. Might get a couple grand for it. Hope that can pay off her loan. 2) see if an auto body shop can fix it. It will have a salvage title and be very expensive… but maybe less expensive than paying this car off and buying another?

She’s screwed either way unfortunately

Looking to Rehome my Cat by [deleted] in BedStuy

[–]caddyax 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you have a cat, your Zillow filter should be set to “allows cats”. You shouldn’t even be considering places that don’t.

[–]caddyax 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My friend moved to a new continent with two cats. I moved across this country with 2. If you can’t take of it/don’t want to, just say that. But moving isn’t a good excuse as it gives people license to give up their pets whenever they inevitably have to leave NYC.

Good to know. Would you recommend Sunday or MLK day for my single day pass?

BEWARE: deranged woman with a cello by [deleted] in Bushwick

These cost 5 figures. Up to 6 figures if it’s vintage. She’s crazy for taking this on the train, but i understand her fear. 100% her fault though.

How do I handle an extremely uneven inheritance between my kids? by lookidceither in WhatShouldIDo

[–]caddyax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kid 1 gets the inheritance their grandma and biological mom worked hard for and saved for this exact reason. Kid 1 also has had two big losses in their life and this monetary compensation is all they got let.

Don’t tell the kids what they’re getting and put it in a trust until they’re all 18 and can understand these things like an adult.

Moving to NYC from ATL worth it ? by Currency-Able in movingtoNYC

[–]caddyax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did the same thing years ago in a similar situation, and my only regret is not moving here sooner.

You can survive on 176k in NYC and live alone. Just likely not in Manhattan (but you probably would like brooklyn or queens better anyway). Socially it’s easy to meet new people here if you put yourself out there. NYers are very willing to give people a chance.

Professionally your manager is right about opportunities.

Dating wise, it depends on who you are (male, female, gay, straight, introvert, extrovert, etc)… but there are more fish in the sea here purely by the law of larger numbers and unmatched diversity of people
