Captain Slow Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I tracked my latest Adam's package and saw it was delivered so I made a beeline home at lunch time. I Waterless Car Washed the hood and front 1/4 panels followed by clay bar. I broke out the new Spray sealant and went to town. DANG!!! This stuff is phenomenal! A quick shpritz of Detail Spray to knock down the static and I then hurried back to the office. Around 4:45 I hopped in the car and drove up to Oswego to deliver an order to an account. I volunteered to bring it to them the moment it passed final inspection. What Adam's customer service is to their industry we are to ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07RS4 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 deal on CTS-V fell through. they were offering me $3k less than what the trade-in value on KBB and NADA are. at first they were offering $5k less but i laughed in their face at it. they were claiming "there just isn't a market for extended cabs" blah blah blah. and i misunderstood them on the phone, the car was titled to the dealership who bought it at the GM Only auction, and because of that, the location with the car isn't budging on the price claiming "its seen a lot of activity" so my wife yanked me out of there before i did something stupid again (like paying $2k above MSRP on a Camaro before they hit the showroom floors) she said i need to wait until we can afford it without trading in my truck, that way it doesn't have to be a daily driver and rack up miles....... That sucks Ryan. Better luck next time man, it looked like a good find. You should try to sell your truck privately. I would love to hear someone tell you of a story of how they traded in a vehicle and got a great deal. They usually try to bury the trade in all the numbers to make it look like you got a good deal. The only time a trade in is worth it is if a.) you've tried and tried and you just can't sell or b.) you could care less about losing your a$$...because in the end the dealer WILL get their money.

Z71_Denali Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Sounds like you need a new tax person. no, i filed my W4 wrong. didn't realize you have to withhold an additional amount for dual income/multiple jobs, especially when combined it throws you into the next tax bracket there's nothing special about our situation, we don't own a home, no kids, don't own a business, just 2 people working normal jobs on salary. our income exceeded the deduction for student loan interest, and pretty much any other deduction available to us. most interesting part was some stocks i sold, and deducting moving expenses!!! next year it should be zero, i hope!

Green Machine Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Went to see my car at the body shop almost done. Saw them repainting rear bumper and just finishing some sanding on new quarter panel. Should be done on tuesday fingers crossed I miss my Magnum and she misses me. She also misses her Adams products. No name yet but I am working on it!
