Jill Wine-Banks and her weird brooches

17 January 2023 - 10:31 AM

One of the more extraordinary characters who now haunt our TV screens is this woman

she was on the presecutors team who dealt with the Nixon unpleasantness

She appears wearing a weird selection of brooches - which it turns out are carefully selected to tell a story

Thank You For Supporting Small Business

With all the hype recently about huge corporate internet sellers we wanted to reach out and say thank you for all the support that we receive. Those of you who know us know that not only are we here to discuss products and what would be best for your needs, offer personalized customer service, assist when there are warranty issues, but we also are extremely competitive, if not less expensive, than you'll find these items from the corporate internet giants of the world.

All we ask is, before you contribute to some faceless corporate's next Summer Home or Private Jet you, give us a call, 516-217-1000, and allow us the opportunity to assist you. In the end you're helping a long standing family business (since 1957) which in turn is really what community is all about.

We thank you in advance. Have a great day


 


Car Loan Rates these days, what is a good rate going into 2021??

10 January 2023 - 10:15 AM

Hi Mirage Forum folks,

I've had my Mirage almost 7 years now, and I have thought maybe it's time for a change with my car. My friend at work says my car is Tokyo drift and fun since he was in it 7 years ago once. Anyway.. considering a new car and keeping my Mirage for future upgrades.. and even though I still have warranty left I think my 10 year plan might be over. People just don't show any respect for small cars, so I am done with them maybe.

On one of the threads the other day people got talking about mortgage rates, and car loan rates. I know people can get sucked into a real financial mess with shoddy house reno with they see a pretty For Sale sign.. where the house looks good but the bones are rotten in the house. Fake electrical, shifty roof with 8 layers. These sorts of scenarios and there are more. Same with used cars, lots of money pit junkers out there in the used car market. My 2014 Mirage is a good used car, however has a few parking lot dents and duct tape on the car mat and my car is a manual so that make it harder to sell maybe.

I have a 2.99% 84 month loan on my 2014 Mirage, and I am at month 80 now so I wonder what a good car loan rate is these days, if things have gone up or down in the market place. I suppose every country is different, I would like to live in a country with no insurance but I dont. I am born and raised in Canada. I'm sure, and just assume, that our insurance rates in Canada are altogether through the roof expensive....

*2.99% loan on my 2014 Mirage works out to like $1,495 on top of my Mirage's full car loan. So seemed cheap compared to keeping my old Ford on the road. Now I wonder the same about my Mirage, however seems 100% good, mint shape and reliable car. Just people don't seem to see my car. Maybe a Mirage is a summer car more than a winter car.
