Talking Sold my TSX!

It took two months, but I finally got the check. In the end, none of the paid ads worked out -- Craigslist was the winning service to sell a car in the private market (and free, too!).

Specs of sale:

- 2004 Acura TSX AT Navigation with aftermaket sound system (JL/Boston) and tires (Falken)
- 47,200 miles

-> $21,000

The car had an ext. warranty which the buyer let me get a refund in exchange for a $500 discount (from $21,500). I'm hoping to get more than that back from Acura. We'll see when the check arrives in 4-6 weeks... I never used the service.

Well, that marks the end of my experience with Acura. I'm off to Brazil tomorrow, then Italy in February. If I come back to the U.S. after I finish my MBA, I'll certainly consider another Acura.

Happy holidays to everyone!!

Andre

How much money you make has little to do with your degree. Very few rich people relied on their degrees to get them there.

That was true in the last 50 years, but no going forward. All jobs in the future require more and more training and college degrees are essential especially with the continuing decrease in the manufacturing sectors. All new jobs will be in services and "knowledge based" jobs which require education. Not to say that non-college jobs wont be there, but the more education you have the better....

For more insight, check out the world trade information.

However, to your point, some of the most successul people in the world did not go to college. Heck my father-in-law is only 57 and a retired millionaire AND his highest education was highschool. All he does is sit on his butt and trade stock....he says mutual funds are for wimps.... he cracks me up but he is so liquid it makes me sick.

Hey,
Can I ask you how you are getting a refund from Acura for your warranty? I purchased extended warranty when I bought my car but since have changed my mind about it so I would look to get my money back how would I go about doing that.

Just go to the dealership and ask for a cancellation form. The sales manager will fill it out for you. After about a week, Acura will send you a form asking for proof that you are the owner of the car (vs. a bank) to ensure they are sending the money to the right person. I sent them a copy of the title.

I haven't received the check yet. I hope it's nice, so I can buy a new laptop with it.
