yes i do get it. current lease deal through honda america is $199 a month with $2000 down on an LX, as I talked through with Thruth above. here once again is the LX term:
financing is currently at .9% on a buy. the lowest price i've been able to source for an EX is roughly $24500. MSRP is 26500. So compared to the LX in the Honda add we can assume a $2500 difference. Lets say I pay out tax and all the other fees, which at 7% would be roughly $2000 anyway, we're looking at financing about $25000 for five years.
see calculation above
If it is outside the warranty you have to pay for maintenance and repairs.
The tire part is something widely known. You always get dinged with them.
next time pay for the whole thing with a credit card. nothing like having them ask what the hell you're doing and you say "i'm in this for the miles".
No way Tesla will be able to keep up with the maintenance for all the model 3s. They can barely service all the S and X at the moment. I'd ask for a refund of your deposit.
its very dependent upon where you live. for me, my rates are around $1800 for 6 months just because south florida is accident central. And that's on a damn toyota camry. $800 a month is nuts. look into some other state wide companies. I found my best rate through my state's farm bureau. cost $50 to join for a year but they do home and auto.
Thanks for the tip, I'll look into it. I could just get legal minimum for 6 months and then hope premiums will have dropped enough to insure a more reasonable amount, but it seems risky. It's also odd they only insure up to 500k. In Europe you can easily do 1-2mm, while medical costs are much lower here. The US is a weird country when it comes to insurance.
The state minimum is only $30k, how crazy is that? The max they offer is $500k. One bad accident and you can be stuck with millions of debt. There's actually extra insurance one can get to cover someone else's underinsurance. Yanks sure are getting a bad deal when it comes to insurance.
meh.
No more "Freude am Fahren"! What happened? Went up a steep board walk?
Hit an alternator or some such junk car part that got dumped in the middle of the interstate at 80 mph. 130kph or so I guess.
At least everyone's safe - that's all that matters. Vehicles can always be repaired or replaced.
that's not going to be covered
If you hit a pothole it should be covered. This is effectively the same thing. Both wheels and tires were damaged at the same time, so both will be covered. I’m sure he had a receipt of the tire purchase to prove it was new.
Car insurance does not cover tires. You have the tires insurance from the manufacturer.
It does if the accident was big enough to damage the wheels.
Then you get into deductibles so it might not even be worth it to file.
Oh yeah, let’s pay for insurance and not use it. Silly ‘mericans. Insurance firms must love you.
First, it wasn't a pothole. Second, insurance, cheapo or no, doesn't cover road debris usually. If it flies of a vehicle you are covered, laying in the road randomly usually not. This incident is a gray area, because it fell off a truck just before I hit it. I should get the rim and side panel covered if I grovel enough.
that's how it works in this country. you file claims and they raise your rates. homeowners is even worse. if you file more than two claims in two years they're likely to non-renew your policy. plus you'll have trouble getting insurance from other carriers as well.
You guys are weird.
hey you're the dope who chose to move here. don't blame us.
