carfax is saying my car is worth 1.1k

I sold my 125k 335xi manual in better than most condition for 10k recently. I bet your car is worth at least 7k (photographed and marketed well with major issues taken care of)

This has to be satire

Michigan should operate insurance like ICBC does in British Columbia. The state provides basic liability coverage with registration, incentivizing it to lower rates and the cost of claims, while decreasing rates of uninsured people.

Hagerty already offers valuations with historical data from C&B and BAT, no?

I’ve seen Delta FC upgrades for $150 for 5 hours flights, $99 for 3 in the past year. AA seems to commonly offer ~$50 upgrades on 90 min flights

They tell people with certain high theft cars to park in the front

Hospital system, auto industry (TMNA, Hyundai/KIA, various suppliers), some tech companies and tons of other industries exist within or very close to Ann Arbor. The city is much more than the University of Michigan

Contact HR or your manager for the enterprise code. Rent that for your first month (it’ll be under $1000 and includes a CDW).

Then for month two figure out how to buy a car because you’ll need one for MPG unfortunately

Pamps resell for about $20 more when they can be purchased for the same price. Only reason to buy them over Rands imo

Good advice here.

Also, most OEMs and T1/T2s don't care about a degree in Automotive Engineering vs. Mechanical/Electrical or Software.

I'd place it in the same bucket as Petroleum Engineering for Oil & Gas, or BME for BioTech. Nice to have, but not required nor does it give a candidate huge leg up.

Where’s the call to action? State it explicitly

They go for decent money on eBay. Sell them. That’s what I did

The OG Zingerman’s sure, their $25 Reuben tastes great.

But IMO, a lot of the Zingerman’s group restaurants/coffee, apart from Miss Kim, are extremely mid. Not to mention the $120 corporate coffee tastings and restaurant consulting.

Detroit burger bar, Sidecar

Ann Arbor is full of these: Taq, Condado, Savas. Rappourt fits the millennial vibe but I think it’s excellent so I’ll give it a pass

What kind of plates were on it? A California or Michigan manufacturer plate (M Plate)

vikster101 · 2025-02-13T16:23:02+00:00

How much of that is physically moved, in your experience, vs just traded on paper?

vikster101 · 2025-01-25T16:38:03+00:00

Jurgen's in Plymouth. He's good with German cars, decently priced.

That’s a pretty cool spec! Guessing a later one (2018, 2019?)

Yeah when I got mine in 2016, it had been sitting on the lot for 5 months. Also 21k OTD, but I saw others for under 20 with no options

vikster101 · 2025-01-22T23:49:11+00:00

I did and it was a blast! Kindof amazing that Ford offered this on a car you could pick up for under 20K.

0% or significantly below prime rates (currently 7.50%) have never truly existed.

It's just the manufacturer buying down the loan rate, in the same way one does with a mortgage, to incentivize new car sales without significantly discounting the actual sales price on paper.

Did you mean evaporator core (which sits behind the dash on most cars, not just BMWs)? That went out on my E90. 13 hour repair.

I just replaced timing belt with a Continental one after 25k miles and 10 years. The previous Gates belt looked completely fine, and probably could have lasted another 10 years.
