The head gasket went in the T Bird, otherwise it was probably the best car I ever had. I'm trading a 2006 Honda Accord, the wheels are corroded and the tires won't hold air. I have about 10 cans of fix a flat in each tire. I'm hoping they'll give me $7,000 for the Honda and shave off 10,000 off the sticker price of the BMW.

I was basically forced to do this though, because my current car won't pass safety inspection (which is required in Canada for registration renewal) and the repairs are upwards of 4k.

Some advice if you're a first time carbuyer and you're going to a car dealer:

When they first drew me up, the total cost was 10k more than the price of the car, and I walked away without signing, taking a copy of the receipt with me, and researched all the **** they signed me up for and told me I would need. I then promptly had them remove a bunch of bull**** they had (particularly this thing called GAP protection which makes no sense with a down payment). I also had them remove this bs rust protection device that they put on the plan. When they had pitched it, it all sounded like it was part of the purchase and never brought up price, but then when I saw the itemized list and he was pressusing me to sign, I noped out of there. Monthly payments were going to be $250 before I got all the bull**** removed.
