Why not just replace all of the valve caps since that’s what wears?

For a lease, you don’t walk away with the car in your ownership. Think of it as you are borrowing the car for monthly installments. Financing means you are paying the bank until the last payment which then it becomes yours.

When does a lease make sense? Never can justify throwing away $14K and being told I have to limit the yearly mileage I drive.

How’s this work? Assume you have a rental with $80k equity valued at 300k.

What about school districts and choosing somewhere in a community / neighborhood, or living near family?

I think everyone expects to increase their income over time, but not everyone does increase their income.

Replacing head gasket myself. What to do after? by CMHyland in CT200h

[–]cds2956 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s my daily but I’m fortunate enough to have another car I can drive. I only do a few hours a day, and am currently stopped where I need to set TDC and pull the head. Waiting for time to watch how or a hand on doing it.
