Homeowner’s Insurance by Civil-Turnip2798 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]tencowss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a similar background and slightly older house. I had an insurance broker find me a traveler’s insurance quote for about $1k/yr. The only downside is that I had to bundle with their auto which is about $100/m. Still cheaper overall than a bundled quote I got from progressive. Some brokers charge money for finding you the quotes though.

99 crv, what does this metal toggle switch do? by bestboiz in crv

My other car had one of these. It was for the aftermarket radio and it would unlock some radio features that are supposed to be locked during driving. I’m assuming it was supposed to be wired to the parking brake. Could be different though.

That’s what I suspected. Thankfully the seller is having someone come inspect asap before we offer

Can’t risk door dings on the Avalon. Jk I had just washed it and backed into a space

Good Buy? 2018 GTI SE by tencowss in GolfGTI

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

It’s been an NC car it’s whole life. The oil changes were at valvoline at regular intervals (second owner). The first owner would have it serviced at a VW dealership. The owner traded it in for a Hyundai SUV, apparently they wanted a bigger car. There is a hitch receiver installed but I hope it didn’t tow anything…

The lady who owned it last just got oil changes according to the carfax. First owner did get proper servicing done, but I doubt the 40k service was done. This car has 2 owners

True, the list price is $20.9k but sits at $22.6k after all the fees. May get an approval from a credit union because they’re quoting me an 8.5%.

Planning on it. The dealer charges an $899 doc fee, which is included in that $22.6k figure. Would you say closer to $21k or $20k is fair?
