My car knows when I get paid. Like clockwork it demands a new repair with [...]
Thinking of buying a new car in 2009 to get the tax benefits? Better act fast – you only have 60 or so days left before 2010! Because of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, any new car, light truck, recreational vehicle or motorcycle purchased between February 17 and December 31, 2009 is [...]
But if you do the math, that’s still $270 a month – for a Toyota Corolla. Now how good does that deal sound? A local Toyota dealer is blasting this ad all over the airways here (radio & TV) in an effort to trick buyers into thinking how affordable a new Toyota is. “Only [...]
While you might not be considering buying a new car in this economy, plenty of people are…and there are some amazing deals to be had. From thousands off invoice, to 0% financing, to “turn-in” programs and even monthly stipends, car manufacturers are doing all they can to get you to buy a new car. [...]
I will be upfront with you; we don’t own a hybrid car. This is mainly because of where we live, which is on a dirt road, surrounded by dirt roads, which get full of foot-deep mud and snow for 4 months out of the year. Were we still living in California, where weather [...]
I cannot believe, at all, that a CEO of a company resigned because the White House asked him to do so. No way, no how. The spinsters in Washington might try to market it this way, but I don’t buy it for a second. If DC was in the business of forcing out [...]
Last year, the 3 year / 36,000 mile warranty on my brother’s Honda Civic expired. As with most Hondas, he never had a single problem with any part of the car; at least until right after his warranty ended. My old 1994 Civic went for 128,000 miles without having any major issues, so [...]
My Two Dollars reader Steven S. sent in the following question to the M-Network’s new feature “Ask The M-Network“:
“My family needs another car, as our 16 year old Chevy just died and my wife has no way to get to work other than me dropping her off. We were considering a late-model used import car [...]
Yep, no kidding…if you buy a Hyundai and lose your job within the first year of owning it, they will take the car back off your hands:
“If you find that you cannot make your payment because of a covered life changing event, we’ll allow you to return your vehicle and walk away from your loan [...]
I just came across this site called Miles Per Dollar which has a handy dandy calculator that enables you to see how much it costs you to drive your car on a mile by mile basis. For our car, a Subaru Forester getting about 29 MPG here in New Mexico, and our gas price [...]
The other day I filled up the Subaru and it only cost me $22, whereas just a few months ago it was costing me over $50 a tank. Gas prices have certainly come down lately, and we are now paying $1.77 a gallon – a far cry from the $4.99 I was paying in Los Angeles back in June. And while paying for gas has gotten easier on the wallet, I don’t expect it to last forever, so we still try to drive economically and conserve gas as much as possible.
I wanted to share this story of an interesting event that happened here in my small town. I don’t know what you all pay for gasoline, but I was paying about $3.89 per gallon of regular unleaded up until this weekend, which seemed like a deal after paying $4.89 per gallon in Los Angeles. [...]
Before we left California, we were seeing an increasing amount of of small scooters on the road, as people are trying to escape the $5.00 per gallon gas prices. Small, nimble, and definitely good on gas, it’s no surprise there is more and more interest in these small motorcycles/oversized bicycles! Annual sales [...]
There is no denying we are in the middle of a major gasoline crisis. It seems the price of gasoline rises every single day and there is no apparent end in sight. If you’re like me you’ll stop and get gas even if you don’t need if the station is offering a lower [...]
A recent article in Money Magazine had some tips for lowering your car insurance bill, and although most of us know the basic ways, they had a few extra ways to look for further discounts that I thought you might find handy. Besides signing up for higher deductibles (like going up from $500 to [...]
