I did not get a new car. I got a 2017 XT5 with 47000 miles on it and it has more on it that I was expecting to have. I was able to use the money in Mustang trade so now I have no car payment. For the driving I do and current life needs, the XT5 will do.
I got a good deal on the XT5 and resale is a non-issue. I need a car to go to Publix, Target, Home Depot, and the doctor office (less than 4000 miles a year). Requirements were blind spot monitor, no car payment, less than 50000 miles, and no accidents. I miss my Mustang but the XT5 is very...
For right now I will stick with the Caddy. If I got an EB Prem, I would end up making the drive to Steeda for suspension, exhaust, and CAI updates. I am not going to be making trips for the immediate future that benefit having those mods.
When I traded in my GT, the requirement was that what ever used car I got, there had to be no car payments. The equity from my trade was the price limit. I was expecting to get an Escape but the XT5 had more of the creature comforts I got used to.

Had it happened to me recently after an oil change. Ended up being the oil filter did not seal properly. The dealer replaced the filter and topped off the oil.

Mine went up $200 for six months. No tickets or accidents and retired. From what I read car insurance went up for everyone in Central Florida. When you have POS people like Dan Newlin and Morgan and Morgan ripping off insurance companies and their policyholders, your insurance will go up.
- 95CobraR: I've been in Sandy Springs for three months now. I have money, I have taste. But I'm not on anybody's "A" list, and Saturday night is the loneliest night for the week for me.

- 95CobraR: Perhaps, Mmmm. But, you know, this...
