Selling nearly new car practical?
Comments (33)No great words of wisdom for you, but a couple of thoughts. For my older boys we bought the older one a subaru wrx and middle one a used saab 9-3. While they both have been amazingly trouble free, when they do need work the things that are wrong need to go the dealer and it's been expensive. In particular with the Saab - they don't sell them anymore so parts are pricey and hard to come by - some impossible. That said, son #3 now has his temps and I've decided he can only buy American or Honda or Toyota. Looking at a several year old Ford Escape with AWD - not real sexy, but safe and functional. I personally love a new car, and have leased my last two vehicles. I drive them three years and take them back! My DH is a drive to the ground guy, actually takes pride in how many miles he can get out of a car. I believe BMW includes all the maintenance on their cars so you have to factor in those fees you'll also have to pay on a different car that probably will need some work. I'd keep the BMW, cancel the collision insurance on the Jeep since it's so old, and buy the girls a decent enough car that it will last at least 6 years. I think the 2010+ Fords are all good quality, and reasonably priced. I like the Ford Fusion. I also am a huge fan of Honda Accords and Civics. You should be able to find a fairly decent one for under $10,000. Goodluck, teen drivers are not for the faint of heart....See MoreHelp me decide if I should keep or return my new wing chairs.
Comments (48)This chair would look great, it's still somewhat formal but has curves instead of boxed corners like your sofa. I also like this rug, sort of terra-cotta and gray. I hope the link works. http://esalerugs.com/terracotta-7x10-new-vintage-area-rug-33131269 scroll down and it shows the rug in a gray toned room. Looks beautiful! eta: DD has rust highleg recliners with a dark brown more casual sofa and it looks great. You don't have room for recliners but the colors work well....See MoreDesiccant in my new sofa -- anyone ever had this problem?
Comments (4)Raise hell. Jeez, I've had better customer service at Wayfair and Amazon, for furniture that I'm sure was way cheaper than what you bought. Call them and ask to speak to a manager. Stand your ground. Remember that the squeaky wheel gets the grease. If suspicious powder does not stop coming out of the fabric, then that's bizarre and scary. it deserves immediate attention. Also, re: earth friendly: many companies claim they are earth friendly and use clever marketing to pull the wool over your eyes. maybe there's one detail that's earth-friendly (like just the upholstery for example), and so legally they can get away with claiming their product is green overall. I'm not saying that's what Lee does, but other companies do it all the time. it's called Greenwashing. In addition, just because it's green does not mean it's harmless. if they had dessicant packets (that were somehow "green") that spilled open, then it could still be harmful....See MoreHelp me perfect our throw pillows - curved sofa
Comments (84)UPDATE I just received this Fornasetti pillow from Etsy -- it's an outdoor pillow and I intended for use on our deck. However, I kind of like it in my office. What do you think? Perhaps it can live here during the off season....See MoreNancy Travisinteriors
