Cash for Clunkers ruined the used car market.

I was going to say the same thing. My son was lucky that I gave him my 2006 Sonata when I bought a new one. Now I wish I had kept the old one. (: Still going strong.

I have had good luck so far with USAA for car insurance.

When daughter got her license back when she was 16, she was driving our Old ‘98 Expedition . . .Blackie . . . she wasn’t too happy with it but it was what it was, had to leave home early so she could do a “pull-through” in her assigned spot at high school .. . . I watched and watched and searched for a reasonable priced car . . . as I knew her Dad would be perfectly happy with her driving the Expedition . . . finally after 6 months searching I found the little 2001 Ford Escape, looked great, with about 180K miles on it for 2995.00 so we got that . . . she only drove it to school and dance for two years . . . then sat for a year her first year away at college, too many miles for back & forth, so now son is driving it to high school and hopefully next year, so IF we get 5 years out of the little car and I hope to sell it for pretty much for what we paid for it.

Oh in my comments earlier . . .with buying her the CR-V, she earned tuition with her ACT score for 4 years . . . so she is a hard worker and I don’t feel bad for getting it for her . . .as a sophomore Spring semester her scores have already “paid” for the car.
