  • A sad day...

    so just before I went on exercise to good ole Wainwright, the bank seized my car and I had to cut it as a lost since the auction house wanted over 3000$ to get the car back. So I am in the market for a new to me V-Dub right now. I wont be able to make meets, but I will stay as active as I can. Anyone know of where to get a decent Golf hatch MK5 or MK6 in the Edmonton area?

        Sorry for your loss but I'm trying to make sense of this? You are going to buy another car for $17,000ish when it would only cost $3000 to get yours back? It just doesn't add up.

            A 2013 tdi used is worth over $20k and you cut it as a lost to pay $3000 to get it back? I agree with Colin, something doesn't add up.

              I cut it as a loss because its easier to finance a used car and Ill have a vehicle to drive vs wait, save the over 3000, its an additional 25$ a day to "keep it in storage", then try and get it back and run the risk of losing my job and I loose the car again. plus financing a 17k car vs a 30+k car is easier on the wallet.

                You need a credit councillor not a new car.

                  It still doesn't add up dude. Don't you have any family that can help you out? Even going to the bank and asking for a $3500 loan or line of credit is better than giving it up. You can setup good payment plans with the bank so that you're not screwed too hard on interest as well. They also have insurance coverage for those things that can help you out in the event of you getting hurt or losing your job and not being able to make a payment. You do have lots of options, I would hate to see you throw away a nice car like that because you didn't research all your options and make sure that you couldn't get it back.

                    Good luck financing anything after having your current car "seized" by your bank!

                        Check your pm. I used the place I told you about for a small loan to get me out of some trouble/mod the b5 lol. For people like you and me its a saving grace. Don't give up, fight this one. Trust me they will help.

                          Isn't this going to affect your credit? I mean I've seen people come through my work who are spending more on interest to finance a car than what the car is worth. In the end a 25k car is costing them 40k cause of this. I'm assuming this might put you in the same boat?

                            Maybe you haven't thought this through
                            LOL

                            No one will finance you a bicycle if the bank JUST seized your car.
                            No offense, but you don't have a clue to what you are talking about..... You need help.

                              Man take it from me I have driven some nice cars and once in a while my financial situation has changed, drive a beater for a while make sure you keep / fix your credit first priority, there are plenty of years to drive a cool car.
