our typical compromise was to buy the newest, lowest mileage vehicle we could. 10,000 miles reduces the price, but provides very similar results, including warranty, as a new purchase. My typical strategy is to buy the newest, highest mileage vehicle in my price range. A few more miles reduces the ...

Well, Valerie, it’s been fun+informative reading along on your VW venture. This forum is great for automotive questions, and, other, practical, real life questions. The fact you managed to get undershepherd’s return is a welcome bonus. :D undershepherd - it sounds as tho work is going well! - did y...

The cheapest steak was sirloin for $7.99. It is no wonder that restaurant prices for steak dinners have gone up a couple...
