    Trading in a 1.5 year old Malibu

    OK GAP insurance. You may want to look into how much they actually pay. Some companies say they will pay off the difference of what the car is valued at and what you owe. But many actually mean they will pay the difference up to so many dollars. Hopefully you GAP is not like this.

    Trading in a 1.5 year old Malibu

    These figures WOULD be just about right. I worked in car sales a bit, the dealer always leaves room for work. IE, fixing scratches, tires, brakes, even if the car is in pretty prestine condition. They will low ball, or try to hide where the negative equity goes in the new car. BAST@RDS!

    Just another overpriced, fuel sucking sport car! Go for the toyota hybrid, save some money. Although I guess if your buying this car money is no problem. SO, if your buying this car please send your NSX to 7311 East Southern ave. In Care of SGTBE Arizona :)

    As Bignate said but also check for tire separation. Probably balance is the culprit.

    removing crap/bloatware

    DarkRogue, Brainonska511 Thanks for the input. As for the old laptop I was thinking of hooking it up to a monitor as you suggested and letting my son use it for music, games, you know 6 year old stuff, maybe nick.com. Thanks for the suggestion on the crapware too. sgtbe
