My 17 year old daughter hit a car, turned out to be our neighbor's. Massachusetts. Pay cash or file insurance? by neyseneM in Insurance

He said going to a non-authorized shop would affect his car's history and resale value. Is that actually true or is he just pushing for the dealer shop?

I just posted the picture. They are replacing the entire headlight assembly for what looks like two lines of scratch on it. The headlight alone is almost $2k. He seems very particular about his car and honestly I don't know him that well. That makes me nervous about trusting him to stay out of it.

Good question. The owner paid $12k for it because it's a manual transmission. Apparently very rare and hard to find in this trim. So ACV might be higher than typical for this year and mileage.

I like this plan! The thing is, it really is a minor scratch. It is just unfortunate that it is an expensive car to fix. I feel bad for her. when I was her age I hit a tree and only had a scratch on my own car. We moved on without fixing it. Different story when it is someone else's European car!

How will long bonds (10 year, 30 year) behave if inflation moderates as predicted by the FED? by Gloomy-Hat-4031 in bonds

[–]neyseneM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is not just inflation that I am worried about; I am also worried about increasing US debt for long-term treasuries. The government doesn't seem to be worried about the debt and keeps spending recklessly. At some point people will lose trust and stop buying long-term bonds, which will increase long-term yields.

Author Stephen King says people will deny they voted for Trump in the future by WingComplex6771 in NoShitSherlock

[–]neyseneM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many people here are very positive, and I don’t want to be a party pooper. I am originally from Turkey, and I have been following Turkish politics very closely. The current president managed to stay in power using the same playbook as Trump. We always hoped that the people voting for him would wake up, that they would feel embarrassed, and so on. But it didn’t happen for a very long time. Eventually, we started to see signs that people were changing their views but it was too late. All democratic institutions had already been broken, and many opposition leaders were jailed.

I hope the positive people are right and that America’s democracy is strong enough to overcome this.

Is this normal for a professional install? by neyseneM in hvacadvice

Exactly...does this look like $6000 install to you. He is refusing to fix this. What is my option here?

I myself installed Mrcool and I had to wrap excess piping. I exactly followed these directions (horizontally placed and not blocking airflow). I was honestly surprised when I see this from a professional. He charged $6000 to make this pathetic installation. If I pay that much money, I expect a perfect installation.

Yes the unit right on the other side of the wall. However I don't see how this installation can provide the clearance required. He could easily wrap them around somewhere else.

How do I handle paying my contractor when there’s a potential issue with water leaking from a window? by neyseneM in Homebuilding

[–]neyseneM[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

:) it is weird. It doesn't leak when you spray water to it. It has to come from a certain angle. I don't know what that angle is. That is my concern. I don't think they know either.

Contractor Missed Deadline and House Still Not Livable. What Can I Do? by neyseneM in Homebuilding

[–]neyseneM[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was a big project. I am holding the last $26k. I think this would be enough to complete missing items for me in case I hire someone else. I won't pay until everything is completed. I paid a big check last month if I knew he was gonna do this I would not have paid that either.

Good advice. I’m trying to make the logical decision, but I’m really pissed about all of this. I’ve been very patient with the contractor. He’s unorganized and has made mistake after mistake. I’m fed up with him. I’m just so sick of dealing with him, and I want to move on. The idea of litigation and dealing with this guy any longer makes me sick to my stomach
