  • One thing to keep in mind is that the used car market is fucked right now because of the tariffs. You’re going to pay a premium for any used car from a dealership for the next long while.

    My advice? Get a gray title on the car and sell it to someone who will fix it up. I hit a deer with my old 99 contour, and the insurance adjuster totaled it because my back seat was messy (I wouldn’t have believed it if he hadn’t said it to my face; the whole story is a trip). They gave us $2400 for it, we kept the car, and sold it to a family friend for $1200 because it just needed new headlight assemblies. We only paid $1200 for it in the first place, but my step dad knew the dealer and got it for what he paid.
