2024.05.14 00:23 sleazycookies Buried and in need of advice

I’ll do my best to keep it short.
I got into a bad car loan after being referred to a not great dealer by a shady mechanic - $19k for a 2021 Hyundai Elantra used with 62k miles.
I live in Florida and have 2 previous at fault accidents. My credit score is 595.
My car payment is $420 at 18% APR. I was planning to look at refinancing the loan in the next couple months. But I just got my renewal quote from progressive and it’s $4200 for 6 months.
This is just completely unaffordable. I was paying $465 for insurance the last 6 months.
When I purchased the car the dealer knew I still had my California ID and told me it was no problem to title and insure the car there [obviously it was not]. That meant my rate quote for insurance at purchase was approximately $200.
No, I did not know about the Kia Hyundai theft fiasco at the time or I wouldn’t have bought it.
I live in a city that is not very walkable. I work remote but my partner does not. Obviously keeping the car would be helpful, but I don’t see how it’s possible. Putting the car in my partners name likely wouldn’t change much due to his poor credit. The only thing I can think to do is sell the car, pay off whatever I can and take the loss.
Any advice is appreciated.

This is the second half of my list for Oklahoma's execution roster. As mentioned in the first part, I broke it in half to comply with reddit's character limitations. For the link to part 1, please click here.
The currently executed 124 offenders, cases 63-124:
63. Robert Knighton (~1960s-2003, lethal injection): In 1973, after being released from a 1968 armed robbery conviction, Knighton went on his first major crime spree. He stabbed and strangled several men and women during many robberies and home invasions. The only victim that was killed, 32 year old Coffier Day, was shot dead while Knighton was arguing with him in his home. Coffier's father, 53 year old Claude, was also injured in the shooting. Knighton's first crime spree ended when he kidnapped a married couple and their 6 year old daughter. They escaped when the wife and mother of the family attacked Knighton with a knife to protect her husband and daughter. The family then notified the police of their abduction. Knighton managed to secure a 30 year manslaughter conviction and a 10 year armed robbery conviction with a plea deal, and was released to a halfway house in 1989. There, he began dating a female addict and befriended a teenage boy. The trio embarked on a nationwide robbery spree together. In Missouri, they shot and killed 59 year old Frank Merrifield and his 40 year old stepson Roy Donahue while robbing their home, and stole guns and money from them. In Oklahoma, the trio fatally shot a couple, 64 year old Virginia and 62 year old Richard Denney, while carjacking them.

Duckett made off with his car after he switched the license plates, and took several bank bags from his store. He had a long violent criminal history, which included several incidents of assault and robbery. One of the incidents involved the beating of an 83 year old man. Allegedly, Duckett was previously gang-raped by other inmates, and suffered from PTSD from the incident. His attorneys claimed that Howard’s sexual advances trigged those memories, and he was killed as a result of Duckett lashing out at them. However, the prosecution shot the argument down, citing that the murder happened after Duckett was evicted from the apartment.

Dodd was severely beaten, had muriatic acid shoved down his throat, and was left to die. Just before he died of his injuries, Dodd gave a description of his attacker to the police that matched Miller. A massive amount of circumstantial evidence, such as wearing shoes that resembled the bloodstained footprints next to Dodd's body, a microscopic drop of blood found on his shoes that was tentatively linked to Dodd, his wife's testimony of his unaccounted absence from their home during the murder, and what appeared to be Dodd writing Miller's alias that he knew him by in his own blood, convicted him.

123. Phillip Hancock (~1982-2023, lethal injection): In 1982, Hancock shot a drug dealer, 27 year old Charles Warren, dead in a dispute over stolen jewelry and was given a manslaughter conviction for it. He was released after serving a 2 year term. About 17 years later, he shot and killed 58 year old James Lynch III and 37 year old Robert Jett Jr. in a drug house. Despite an eyewitness account describing Lynch and Jett begging for their lives, the case attracted scrutiny when Hancock's attorneys claimed that the shootings were done in self defense.
124. Michael Smith (~2002-2024, lethal injection): A member of the Oak Grove Posse gang, Smith was responsible for two separate fatal shootings on the same day. In one of his murders, he killed Sharath Pulluru, a 24 year old Indian immigrant that worked as a clerk, while robbing a gas station. The other murder occurred when he tried to confront a gang member that he thought was a police informant in his apartment, and gunned down the target’s mother, 40 year old Janet Miller-Moore, when she refused to give away her son’s location. Smith was also given a life sentence for delivering a gun to a shooter that carried out another gang killing.

2024.05.13 05:14 ActionAmazing5955 Here is why PKA could may find success on red pill podcast shows

They talked about going redpill since most of their stuff is redpill. They would excel on Fresh and Fit as the show is pretty open to a lot of different dialog:

Kyle: he would be really good on Fresh and Fit's pre show where the main host Myron(an ex DEA/DHS agent) usually interviews ex drug dealers and their past and talks about prison stories. Kyle would do really good because he has some great stories and could honestly do really well with Myrons self hating views. Kyle could also do really well with the main show with the women since he does like to talk about interesting topics and ramble as the women do.

Taylor: he could go on the preshow and talk to Myron about politics, they have very similar viewpoints and could discuss the Palestine conflict. He could also do well in the main show with the women too because he is pretty funny and his sarcasm would fit well with the women.

Woody: He could talk about........I have no idea, not sure what they would have in common besides maybe investments or work ethics with managing such a big show or the common issues with children/raising kids and also politics. I think Woody would do good on the pre show but skip the main show with the women or just be quiet the whole episode.

Could they all go on the show together? Sure and it would be a great meet up plus they can talk about their history on PKA, UFC fights and games as well. Fresh and Fit have really good cameras so no more poor quality potatoeK cameras that Kyle or Taylor have plus they can meet in the triangle that is Florida. I don't think they would do well on the Whatever show but Fresh and Fit would be pretty good if they can manage meet up at the same date and time in Miami, plus Myron has like 6 shows a week so they can go almost anytime.

TL;DR PKA going on Fresh and Fit would for PKA 700 would be Legendary

2024.05.12 17:46 TomA234 ALLSTATE Auto: “What Would You Do?”

Perhaps a passer-by has a good idea. It is a long story, so don’t be bothered unless you have a little extra time today, or want some entertainment or perhaps enlightenment.
Introduction. Have you ever had to deal with an auto insurance company after an accident? Hopefully, your experience was a good one. But, from what I read, some of that here, but mostly elsewhere, it may not have been. Please read carefully. Yes, it is long (1/2 of the max that Reddit allows), but facts are facts and you can’t understand without them. The plot thickens and the direction changes, as the story is told, just as in reality it did for me. Do I need advice? Perhaps, with the question being like the TV Show where John Quiñones asks- “What Would You Do?” If you’ve had a similar experience, tell me about it.
In this situation, the bottom line is that Allstate’s own concerns, policies and procedures, in dealing with my loss, took precedence over the actual loss and my being “made whole”. Simply put: After the accident, Allstate created more loss, and I can do nothing about it. Or can I? What would you do?
So, in Dec. of 2022, I was picking my wife up from work in a small town in PA. I was stopped at a red light waiting for it to change, and was swiftly hit from behind by “man in van with dog as passenger”. WHACK!!! My car was forced into the one in front of me, despite my foot being on the brake, causing the engine to stop, my hood to unlock and bend upwards, the head light and grill to become broken and dislodged, steam to rise from the open hood and something dribbled out underneath. I was stunned. It looked like a real mess. “My car”, was now the one in the middle of the road, smashed and disabled, holding up all the traffic. The car was towed away and in two days I was told by Allstate, whom I did trust at first, that my car was totaled. Certainly, Allstate is an expert at this stuff, right? (My first accident in 40 years.) This began my month long (a little more actually), journey into hell, which no one ever paid for, but me. The car damage was eventually paid, the journey to hell was not. No one was physically hurt, seriously, so that was good. I didn’t get the dog’s opinion.
Bad Hands and Mayhem at Allstate; Was I Abused? This was an unfolding set of unlikely circumstances (one would think), which are best seen and understood in hindsight. At very first, there was an immediate rush to judgment where the adjuster, who had not examined the car, rattled off things that he believed had probably been damaged with my car, and then concluded by guessing, the cost of repair would be too much and a “verbal totaling” of the car was given, or “deemed” as it is called in the industry. He was an expert, so I did not question his conclusion. Damn, I thought. 64,000 miles and I had just bought the car last year after an extensive search. I was immediately given a settlement offer which seemed low, such that I did question and decline it. I needed to research again, and find what records I had, of the value. I had done that not long ago. The adjuster seemed surprised if not annoyed that I did not take his offer. His job was not done.
The car would be towed again to a free location for storage, as the adjuster explained. The cost of leaving the car where it was, was too expensive. He did not disclose, however, that the car would be towed far away (60 miles), to an auto yard which was contracted with Allstate to accept totaled vehicles for auction, dismantling and scrapping, otherwise known as “salvage”.
During these initial stages, unknown by me, there was a lie and sophisticated misleading, in writing, by the Allstate adjuster assigned to my case. After I suggested the value of my car to be higher than Allstate thought, and backing my claim with data, he gave me the following written statement a few days later regarding auto valuations by insurance companies for Pennsylvania: “The process of… vehicle valuation is set forth by the insurance department which specifies a market area of 100 mile radius from your garaging ZIP code. "I have no intention of disregarding a clear mandate from the governmental agency that oversees my license” (12/22). The lie is pretty severe as it is a “blanket” statement, putting up a wall and signaling an end to discussion regarding the distance Allstate uses to establish car values (from comparable transactions with similar cars). However, some people buy cars online and you see it also through eBay and TV advertisements (Carfax, Carvana, Kenan Thompson [Autotrader] etc.). And there certainly are reputable dealers beyond 100 miles of me. Other people I am sure (like me), own cars which are not currently available for sale within 100 miles from where they live. What do they do? So, then comparisons are made with other cars not identical, but that are “similar”, based on someone else’ opinion, and I must accept that???.
I have owned 4 similar station wagons in the past 20 years. My 2nd wagon was from Florida; my “totaled” wagon had recently been purchased in NJ, I am in Pennsylvania, more than 100 miles away from both.
In addition, in the same document, the adjuster wrote that Allstate uses only one approved source for obtaining car values: “…there are only a limited number of sources from which insurers may obtain values for vehicles deemed a total loss. CCC is an approved vendor and the vendor we use exclusively for values.” I took this to mean that there were no other places to obtain values, other than the CCC source he was using, and such a limited use of resource was legal, and he and Allstate could not be challenged. End of argument, without an expensive attorney or solo appearance in front of a judge. Too bad for me. Questioning the adjuster would get me nowhere.
This unfolding set of events was “done to me”, therefore I am suspecting it is done to others, routinely. Or, Allstate does not supervise their adjusters or provide oversight and alternatives if needed when an adjuster goes rogue, which is just as bad. Either way it is a systemic problem convenient to Allstate for limiting payouts. “It”, Allstate’s “oversight and valuation process”, happened to me, and the next four weeks were worse than the accident itself.
A Bit of “Backstory”. I began suffering from Multiple Sclerosis (MS) in 1988. With MS, you have to do what you can do. Things change, maybe you can do what you have to, maybe you can no longer get it done. You didn’t bargain for it. You adjust as best you can, or give up. MS doesn’t give up. Some people do better than others, for known and unknown reasons. Motivation helps but is often not enough.
  1. Due to difficulty with my leg, having a car lower to the ground is preferable to one where I have to step up into the auto (like an SUV).
  2. A car which loads through the back (like an SUV, but lower) is very helpful as well. As I stated above, the last four cars I have owned since 2004 are Ford Station Wagons (1997, 2000, 2001 and 2002; two from PA, one NJ, one Florida). There is a niche of available used wagons with low miles primarily from estates. They are good condition and affordable, versus a used late model $25,000+ SUV with higher mileage and related high cost, maintenance and insurance.
  3. Being economical is one thing I can do.
  4. To supplement my limited disability income, I deal in used and “collectible” merchandise, requiring me to load boxes occasionally, to my lower level car. The back hatch found on these wagons I have owned, is a necessity for what I do. They are not comparable to sedans, although sedan values were the valuations I was given, and used to create the insurance estimate. Compared to modern SUVs, Ford wagons with low miles, circa 2000 - 2004, are a more economical and functional decision, given the available “niche” and my handicap. So it’s not that an uncle died or something, and I got this old junky wagon from him. It’s a vehicle I intentionally hunted for, to purchase for very good reasons. I needed a replacement value for that and nothing else.
Out of Options to Get a Fair Deal? I knew that a replacement for my car was possible but may require a hunt again (I had already done it four times). Obtaining the needed valuation looked unlikely however, and I’d have to pay perhaps double ($7,000-8,000+?) what Allstate would pay me for my totaled car. It was clear the adjuster was not going to hear anything further from me. The adjuster did not care, and in addition, gave me a value based on Ford sedans, not Ford wagons (which haven’t been built since about 2005). These wagons, according to my research, are worth significantly more than sedans. Two out of three of the comparables the adjuster gave me had 150,000 miles, with smaller engines. For a 2002 car, 150,000 miles is next to “junk status”. My car had 64,000 miles when hit and was a station wagon with a more powerful Duratec engine. These are big differences. He would not change his valuation, claiming his actions were mandated by law (as stated above) and that his source of valuation was the only one that would be used. I felt tied down and helpless, forced to take an offer I knew was wrong, from a guy whose job it apparently was, to do exactly what he was doing to me (cause mayhem), rather than helping me get back to where I had been (good hands). Within a little more than a week, I no longer trusted him, a man I was now forced to depend on. I felt abused. It was tortuous. In hindsight, it is clear he was hoping I was desperate for a replacement car and therefore motivated to accept the “low-ball” offer he had given me.
It Was Not True. I later checked with the PA Insurance Department specifically on the matter, and indeed, his claims (cited above in bold) were specifically not true. Via email the Department stated: “The 100 miles is an industry practice and not a law” (6/12/23). In addition, I earlier read 31 Pa. Code § 62.3e (a code for doing appraisals) and learned that in addition to the CCC “source” for valuations he had previously described, there were two other independent valuation “Methods” called Actual Cost and Dealer Quotation “methods”, which he was free to use but didn’t tell me about. One has to learn and know the code in order to differentiate the meanings between “source” and “method”. Beyond these two facts, in addition, his consideration of wagons being the same as sedans was inaccurate and did not follow valuation rules set in the code. The code actually tells him that since my car, a station wagon, was not listed with CCC (which it wasn’t) and was no longer manufactured, he must use a different valuation “Method” than his CCC “Source” method. He did not.
For people who want a good Taurus wagon, low miles, 2000-2004, the average price is considerably more than a sedan with the same mileage. That price must be paid. That’s my experience backed by data. If one is looking for a good condition wagon, they are simply not going to buy a sedan, as to them a sedan is worth nothing. If they are looking for a sedan, they will have no interest in a wagon. The two cars are not comparable or interchangeable. They serve two different markets willing to pay different values. About ten to twenty percent of Tauruses built were wagons, making them today much harder to find.
And the Car was Not Totaled! (Here We Go! Part two) But the complaint I make is not about physical damages “not being paid”, or “not being paid enough” (although that did happen). Instead it is about the consequences of being lied to and misled by someone you trust, all while being forced to give up control of one’s car for almost a month, during which time I initially accepted Allsate’s story that my car was totaled, and nothing was done to repair it, and it was essentially inaccessible at a salvage yard, and I almost lost it. If not for my own actions against the will of the adjuster, I would have lost my car. I was forced to act in a manner against the controlling party’s will. This, I believe, becomes what is called a “Tort”, done by Allstate to me. “Do what we say or you will be screwed”. It has nothing to do with the person who hit me and my settlement with him. I had to become aware of being abused. I had to see I was mislead and lied to, in order to change my orientation to the matter. Not easy. It was very emotionally exhausting and required much time and attention. Giving up was not an option or I would have lost my car. It was torture.
After questioning the car’s removal to the salvage yard, to my surprise Allstate returned the car to my shop. It was repaired to be safe and passed its yearly inspection (conveniently due). I was driving again in my good car by January 20, 2023. I was paid $3,521.03 on about August 1, 2023 by Allstate for damages to my car. I had to “step around” the adjuster and threaten a law suit directly to Allstate. The payment eliminated the liability the other driver had. But it made clear the settlement was for driver’s liability, and several prior communications trying to forge a settlement always indicated that my right to sue Allstate would not be limited by a settlement. This came after several disclosures over the months by the adjuster, that the car had been “deemed” a total loss and therefore no collision repairs could be paid or approved by Allstate. It was interesting that he described the matter as if some other place or person had “deemed” it, as if he had nothing to do with that decision and it was just the way it had ended up. The car had been “deemed” a total loss, and therefore, such decision could not be changed by he or Allstate. But he was the source of the “deeming”!. The car was restored to a safe, drivable, good looking state for less than $400! Laughable now, but the entire episode was a psychological and emotional wreck and nightmare, done to me by Allstate.
But Now the Car is Listed as Having Been Totaled. Indeed, checking online with VINCheck, a database provided free to the public by The National Insurance Crime Bureau, my car is listed as a salvage vehicle. You only get “salvage” after “total”. Someone reported the car to them as a salvaged car, and it wasn’t me. After notifying VINCheck that my car had not been assigned or salvaged (which could only be done in a signed statement by me), and had just passed inspection, I received no reply. Currently, nothing has changed. I suspect this misinformation has also spread to other VIN websites used to check car histories. Why should I be required to pay money to check additional VIN websites, or spend my time arguing with someone on this, or have to explain in the future to any interested party, why the car is listed as salvage but was never “rebuilt”, and then argue a depreciated price? A rebuilt salvage vehicle loses 20-40% of its pre-accident value. A salvage vehicle can’t be registered. I am told by PA DMV that unless I apply for a salvage title, the title will not become a salvage title. Earlier, Allstate reused to make payment unless I signed a salvage statement that the car was totaled, which would have begun a detailed costly rebuild process and a deduction in settlement amount, if I were to keep the car and seek to register it again..
I Was Abused. It was only because of my finally doubting the adjuster and persisting with Allstate, that I got my car back and repaired it, and was compensated an amount for the damage to my car. I was abused by Allstate Insurance. I am not wanting to sue the driver for his conduct, my attention is on Allstate for theirs. There are “bad hands” over there (not “good”), and “mayhem” starts at Allstate (at least it did for me). They are one of the largest insurers in The US, and their advertisements and actions should match. Allstate creates expectations of service and treatment based on their widespread long standing advertisements. They never advertise that you’d have to “submit” to their ill will in order to be in good hands and to avoid mayhem. That sounds like an abusive relationship to me. Give up something in order not to get harmed. You need not be an Allstate client for this to happen. Allstate merely provides insurance to a bad driver, waits for an accident to occur, and then creates mayhem for the injured party in order to reduce payout.
Conflict of Interest. Pa. Code § 62.3f (the code for doing appraisals) specifically states that appraisers “Not have a conflict of interest in the making of an appraisal.” If the appraiser in this case was influenced by requirements of his job to accept an inaccurate “Source appraisal” from CCC, or in any other way influenced to reduce or limit the appraisal as a result of job requirements and other pressures to perform, the adjuster did not act independently but yielded to a conflict of interest. If the use of an appraiser is in the financial interest of Allstate at the expense of an injured party’s interests, it is a conflict. If Allstate uses appraisers to make it appear appraisals will be fair and accurate but they know otherwise, then it appears to be a fraud. Finally, part f of the code concludes “This chapter and the act, and this section in particular, shall be strictly interpreted to protect the interest of the consumer and place the burden upon the appraiser to eliminate any conflict of interest in the making of an appraisal.” Allstate then, in my opinion, must demonstrate a particular level of autonomy given to appraisers to authorize appraisals. Any evaluative process by Allstate on the appraiser’s job performance that rewards him for lowering appraisals certainly seems a violation of this code. In my case here, we even had an appraiser falsely claim his hands were tied by the law, in order to limit his appraisal. My appraiser had the opportunity to correct matters, eliminate conflicts, and make me whole from the start, but he did not. I had to make myself whole.
Final Takeaway. In hindsight, it appears a well thought and established routine of persuasion and misinformation, in order to achieve a quicker and reduced settlement, was done to me by Allstate. It resulted in the perceived loss of my car, and then the loss of my car for a month, with a continuous sense of urgency, severe aggravation, manipulation, helplessness and abuse. There was never a concern for establishing truth, loss and expense, and paying it. Instead there was inclusion of misinformation and ignorance of other. The time I spent in the first month of this matter has to be at least 40 hours. I lost sales on eBay, missed auctions. My sleep was totally broken. They took my car, refused to replace it, and lied about it. It was about all I could deal with for that month. Accept our interpretation of your loss, or suffer the consequences, which we are trying to control. It literally was torture: “the practice of inflicting suffering on someone in order to force them to do something” is the dictionary definition. How much is a month of that worth?
The PA General Assembly Title 18 § 4117 warns: “Any person who knowingly and with intent to defraud any insurance company or other person files an application for insurance or statement of claim containing any materially false information or conceals for the purpose of misleading, information concerning any fact material thereto commits a fraudulent insurance act, which is a crime and subjects such person to criminal and civil penalties”. There is nothing in that law which places the shoe on the other foot and is directed at the adjuster or insurance company, if they mislead or defraud. I doubt, that such absence in Title 4117 allows adjusters or insurance companies freedom to do whatever they please to a random individual with no consequence.
So finally, again, the question is “What would you do?” The statute of limitations, I believe, is two years. That will bring me to December. And to repeat, the harm done to me that I have been describing, was done by Allstate to me. The driver has been released.
Thanks for reading.

2024.05.12 09:35 GermanHammer Is the location requirement a large reason why more people dont get a dealers license?

With only a finite number of locations available and the cost of leasing/renting these locations I would guess that this prevents a large number of people from getting a license.
I'm curious what everyone's thoughts are. I found a statistic that stated in 2019 there were 14000 new licenses issued in Florida. I wondered how many more dealers there would be if locations were more accessible to people starting out with minimal capital. Or is there another reason I'm not taking into account?

2024.05.12 02:54 _StrikeList5_ Your thoughts on cub cadet xt1 lt46

Average Florida less than half acre, mostly flat. Could do a self propelled on it without issue, but just want quick ease and use of rider.
Is the xt1 lt46 (dual cylinder Kohler 7000 series) good value at approximately $2,400. I'd buy it from a local dealer, not home depot or lowes.
I don't wanna spend $1,800 on a crap mower if 600 will get me better. I don't need a 46" cut. But that's cheapest dual cylinder (which is what I hear is recommended) I can find.

Hey I’m looking for a private FFL dealer in IL. My grandfather passed and left some guns behind that I’m trying to get transferred over to me but I live in Florida. My sister has possession of them and can present the death certificate. I spoke to the gun store that he purchased them at and they said they don’t do those kind of transfers, that I would need to find a private FFL. I know I should just drive up and get them and drive back to Florida but after gas and time I could just buy them here in Florida. Any other insight would be appreciated or if you know someone that can do the transfer

2024.05.11 20:53 TRAWTHETRADER SMS Laws Regarding WARM Leads?

So to keep it short and sweet i have a buy/sell FB group with around 100k and i charge brokers, realtors, dealers, etc.. for posting their homes, or i offer a monthly sub for unlimited posting. My question is simply regarding the SMS laws in florida, and if submitting a post on my group when the rules state professionals need to pay to post.
When anyone submits a post to my group it always goes into the "Pending Posts" unless they are a subscriber for our monthly plan. i manually read each post and always have just declined the post, took any info down about them and logged it, and then sent a message to follow up the declined post, ushering them to my website to sign up.
So the question is this.. Am i aloud to text these realtors, brokers, ETC. that leave their cell phone number on the post? since technically they are reaching out to me, to allow them to promote their mobile home on my group? or do i need to make one of the rules stipulate that "Any incoming posts or information left willing by a user can be used as a direct contact method, including Phone Calls, SMS/Texts, E-mail, or any other contact information methods listed by the user."?

2024.05.11 18:38 RandomRedditRebel Having trouble breaking into the industry.

Hey all,
So I've been trying to get into the industry for about 3 months now. TONS of shops around me are hiring anyone that knows just a little bit. I know extremely little about working on diesel equipment, despite working on my own vehicles for all of my life. I'd say I'm mechanically inclined. Just never worked on large equipment.
I've sent out resumes to every shop and have had 3 interviews. 2 with local truck shops and 1 with a caterpillar dealer. 2 out of 3 wanted to hire me but we're saying that they don't have the time or manpower to train someone new.
I'm In the space coast of Florida and there are no schools near me or training centers to get myself started. Maybe in Orlando, but I'm looking to become an apprentice.
I reached out to the recruiters at Caterpillar (my top pick of where to work) and they basically said to just keep an eye for an opening and not much else.
What should I do guys? I'm ready to get the rest of my life started.

2024.05.11 01:57 oldfloridaman Is this a good price?

I'm in South Gulf Coast Florida, and getting a price on the very basic 24 crew cab 1500. 38,900. That includes sales tax, dealer service fee, and registration. So supposedly out the door.
The only optional features is the pro safety, and trailering package.
I don't have GMC loyalty or military rebates, but the dealer has a few for paying cash and dealership discount.
It seems like a great deal, and just wanted to ask if it's worth checking around for a lower price.

2024.05.11 00:39 workingstiff55 A or B Service Advice

Hey all, bought a 2020 E450 4matic cabriolet in January of this year. She had 9,800 miles on the odometer. Bought it from a Chevy dealer here in Florida and traded a ZL1 convertible, but that's another story.
The Car Fax shows 2 owners. Original owner used Mercedes dealer service for A service at 4,000 miles. Somehow it ended up being traded to a Hyundai dealer and then being auctioned, bought by a Mercedes dealer who then did some maintenance. Second owner used some Indy mechanic for various maintenance including two new tires mounted. Then trades it to the Chevy dealer I purchased it from. All of this happened in Florida.
It's still just barely, under warranty and I need to take it in for a faulty cabin trunk release button and figured I should get current on factory recommended maintenance at the same time.
Question to all of you if this was your recently acquired car: would you go for the A service or the B service? Car has performed great since purchase except for that trunk/boot button.
What do you think?

2024.05.10 20:29 KitchenCup374 Possibly dumb questions. New to buying

So I’ve been looking to buy a used 2022 Kia K5 in Florida. I haven’t had time to go to a dealership and talk to someone, so I decided to post here.
I would be financing the car along with a down payment. I’m not hell bent on getting the greatest rate of all time. I don’t have a long credit history and my credit score is not sky high so I figure the rate won’t be that great anyways.
Beyond that, I’m clueless on some things.
  1. Aside from a down payment, if you are financing a car, whether through the dealer or a lender, what are the out of pocket costs when at the dealership. For example, let’s say you didn’t even do a down payment and we’re financing it. What would you have to pay at the dealership? Like a processing fee, registration, etc? Or does that get added onto the total bill that you make monthly payments for?
  2. What if the closest dealership doesn’t have the car you want? Are they able to bring one in or do you have to wait or just find another dealership?
  3. I’m not interested in playing the haggling game or anything. Obviously not wanting to milked more than I need to be, but I’m just not interested in driving to 7 different places to get different rates and try to make them all compete with each other. What is the easiest way to buy? I saw a post where a salesman said he sold a car in 15 minutes over the phone because the customer was easy, honest, and knew what he wanted. Is that realistic for me or is there another approach.
I’ve read a lot from this subreddit and others about the purchasing process, there were just these dumb questions that didn’t get touched on enough for me. I’d appreciate any advice on these.

2024.05.10 16:15 veera10 Dealer forgot to charge the total Sales tax on sale

Hi, I am a California resident. My car got totaled in Florida during road trip. Since we had lot of stuff, we bought a used car in Florida to get back home. All was good until yesterday, when the business manager left me a voicemail saying ‘Just call me back’ and the finance manager leaving a voicemail saying “ we have to go over a few things with you, call us back”. Upon calling them back, the dealership mentioned that we owe them an extra $1200 for sales tax due to a system error since this is out of state sale.
When we negotiate the OTD it included the sales tax for California which I have asked repeatedly and they said yes this is the final amount including California state tax as per my address. Also in the final bill of sale, the tax is factored in. Since California collects 9.375%, the dealer is saying they only charged the 6% owed to Florida and now I have to pay the remaining which comes more than the OTD price.
Now, what should I do in this case and is there a legal recourse? The dealership just sprung this on me and says that I have to pay them now or else the registration of the vehicle won’t go through. And they were very rude about it as if I made a mistake.
Edit: I went through the bill of sale and the OTD documents , it’s my fault for not checking the the documents properly, the OTD did not include Tag and title fee, only the actual CA taxes 9.375% (including FL tax) and dealership fees. So the dealership adjusted the amount and on the Bill of Sale which shows I only paid for FL taxes and not CA taxes.
Thank you guys for all the help and advice, truly appreciate it.

2024.05.10 02:38 Most-Entertainment74 Insurance Affidavit with an unknown policy from a used car dealer?

I'm in the process of purchasing a used vehicle from a dealer in Florida. When all was said and done, the manager sends me a link to sign the documents. I live in New York so many of the documents are being completed via E-sign.
As I'm reviewing the documents, one of the pages titled "Florida Insurance Affidavit" has my information completed with a policy number that isn't mine. I have not yet provided the dealer my insurance policy yet which I'm planning to tomorrow. I declined to sign it and stopped the documentation process there.
I'm going to reach out to the dealer tomorrow to ask but is this a normal practice for a used car dealer?
Thanks in advance for your responses.

2024.05.09 17:30 b3cabu Going on 6 Months , Still no Title/Plates/Registration From Dealer

Okay, I purchased a car cash for 13k back in November, it’s been half a year and i still have not received my title or anything from the dealer, the first set of dealer paper tags expired i believe in January and since then i have called every month to get an update on the title and obviously another set of paper tags , its now may and what i have learned is that they are having trouble getting the title from the previous owners bank , or something going on in Florida (I live in TX). So I am at a loss on what to do. The dealership is very fed up with me at this point and not just me my husband and my parents too, we have all been calling to get this resolved or get updates but its the same runaround every time anyone calls. My family at this point wants to return the car and get my money back (which i dont want to do because i fell in love with it, and i did my research on cars that have the same features as mine and none compare) or have them trade it for a vehicle that is similar value to the car i have now.
Now my questions are
How do i proceed with getting my title from the dealer?
Will I get all my money back if i have traveled and added a hefty amount of miles on it?
Can it be traded for a different car at the dealership and would i have leeway on the price of the car i choose (for the inconvenience i guess?)?
i cant express how much i love my car , its limited 2.0t and i love all the features it comes with, so finding a car with all the same features is already hard to find with the budget i have .
i would really appreciate the advice :)

2024.05.08 07:22 Glad-Bike9822 Looking for quandrax dealer in Florida.

My hyperdiscus-oscilliater broke, and I need a triple scattering manifold for my actrian phasmoid melder. I left it in my closet, and I think a Hindenberg clazor materialized or something along those lines, because the Rubit element was distanglified. I learned that it could be substituted with triabzoid-limphet quandrax, but it's really expensive to get off the government websites. I could go with delta-aleph grade material, as it's cheaper, but I can't find any dealers. Does anyone here know of any?

2024.05.07 14:21 PantsDragon 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs Game Winning Goal Challenge 05/7 SECOND ROUND EDITION

Too much rest for Florida?
WHO’S READY FOR HOCKEY
The playoffs are back! And it wouldn’t feel like the playoffs without some friendly competition among fans. And a real prize! I'll send the winner some kind of merch from their favourite team.
Welcome to the Game Winning Goal Challenge for the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Last Night's Scorer(s): Mason Lohrei
The rules are simple:
  • For each matchup on a given day, list the one player for each game you expect to score the GWG.
  • This means that if there are 2 games in a given night, you choose one player from one team in Game 1, and one player from one team in Game 2.
  • To make your selection, leave a primary comment with the first and last names of each player you select. Guessing closes strictly at puck drop of the first game of the day. The following morning you will receive a DM letting you know you guessed correctly or berating you for making an incorrect selection. (Please don’t take any insults personally)
  • Get as many GWG scorers right as possible during the playoffs and be crowned GWG Guesser... Champion... Person... This year I'll splurge and send some dumb prize related to your team of choice for like $20.
  • You spell it wrong - you get no points. I use the NHL.com spelling of player names, which typically omits special characters like accents. I use a python script to scrape threads so if the spelling doesn't match exactly, it takes a bunch of work to verify.
  • First and last names are required.
  • Edited comments are disqualified. If you fuck up your selection and need to change it, delete it and repost.
Without further ado, today's matchups:
CAR vs NYR
COL vs DAL

2024.05.07 05:31 Exciting_Peach_3026 Elite OTD

Picked up a white platinum with pro pack (?), tint, trunk tray, mudguards, wheel locks, lojack) for $50,800. Two day negotiation with about 5 dealers with one dealer not honoring what they verbalized on the phone. I really dislike buying cars, so much wasted time. Location: South Florida

Can’t get enough of this beaut
Just under 3 months and 2.4k miles later, I absolutely love this bike. I did a 7 hour round trip to Tampa last weekend for a 30 minute software update at the dealer. It was a surprisingly comfortable ride with minimal breaks. Even in strong winds on the highway for 1.5 hours on the drive back, it wasn’t too bad. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a little sore and was literally laying on the tank I was so tired at times lol but nonetheless it was a good ride! The bike handled it like a champ! Included a couple pics from the trip on some random country roads in SW Florida
