2017 Tacoma accident totaled?

And my credit score is 782, but I plan on driving my Taco until it is no longer economically feasible to do so!

 

Well, getting back to the topic at hand... if it is totaled... and you have good insurance... find out what similar vehicles (e.g. 2017 Tacoma with similar mileage/condition) in your area are going for... Use whatever the people in your area use to buy used trucks use (where I live it's Craigslist). Find an average... It's called a "comp" I think. They do it with houses, too. That is what you are going to get... will it pay off your loan? I hope so!

My guess, is it's not totaled and they just fix it.

Bummer for you, either way!

 

Back to the economic debate... financially, you should never borrow borrow money for an asset that depreciates (i.e. most cars).

Unfortunately, we're not all financially flush with cash. And emotionally, we want that new truck! Now!

 

But hey, now it's in my family!

 

Wait, what? I think I missed something! Nooooooooooooo!

 

No... you have no clue!

 

This is what happens when I work on two threads at once, and it's almost time for bed...



I'm working on a Mitsubishi rant/rave thread in "General Automotive" right now.

 

Dude! Is that stoner surfer dude from Fast Times?

 

Yup... Jeff Spiccoli

 

Minor digression, I was just reading about "boomer" being a new diss! And here it is! I don't really understand it in this context. A boomer is someone who was born closely after the 2nd world war (more or less). At least that's my understanding. So, why wouldn't they understand gap insurance? Old people don't understand gap insurance?

Is my "boomer" interpretation wrong?

 

Baby boomers are 1946 to 1962 I believe...

 

It’s now used to connote an “old” person. Over the hill.

 

OMG, for about one year Phoebe Cates was a goddess!

 

Are you sure it isn't the Clemson Tigers' QB?

 

Hehe...
