CT is an “at will” state and you can be fired for literally no reason at all.
I keep telling her that everything happens for a reason and that things will get better.

My gig, on the other hand... We have a decent organization, but they've kept some very disappointing employees on board, and there is an entire department (not mine) that is completely disorganized. I'm not sure that they've ever fired anyone in my department, but I know they have asked/encouraged some particularly bad ones to leave.
Uh Boss, I uh dropped a toilet
Uh Boss, I gave the guy 2” Black Pipe instead of 2” No Hub Pipe
Uh Boss, the truck just stopped. (Me: Where?) on the ramp between the Cross Bronx & Major Deegan Expressway. (It was later determined that he put gas in our truck which runs on DIESEL FUEL!)
She was fired because the mistake “could” have lead to the patient getting seriously injured and then the hospital “would” have been liable for her actions.

But when someone sinks $13k into a car only to trade it for $4k 8 mos later, I don’t get all warm and fuzzy about said vehicle.

I think the psychology is that the owner has the expensive repair, decides they’re going to keep the car and fix any and all outstanding issues. Then the car rewards them a few months later with another broken part. This breaks their dream of bringing the car to near-new condition and reliability, and they dump it.
Apparently, these companies don’t know how tight the job market is right now.
I’m sure things will work out.
Not trying to make light of her situation at all. But sometimes in life you may find that getting fired due to a complaint by a fellow worker is actually a promotion to a better place in life.
we were off today and out doing some errands, and I mentioned (since we were supposed to be doing something fun, and instead did a rescue dog delivery and went to Shop Rite) that we could swing by the dealers and look at the cars on her list. She made a face at me. Might need to revisit that. Or even better, just pull into the dealers when driving by without asking first!

I was trying to cut a deal on an X4 a few years ago and the sales guy was inept and the sales manager a real ‘donkey’. I told them I had never tried so hard to give someone my money and not succeeded.

I only looked at Carfax. Two new engines. Interesting.

Any idea of auction value on 2019 Audi Q7 prestige with 7500 miles?
Local dealer has CPO available and wife has the itch to get rid of MB gl350
My tires are worn out.
Fitting the narrative I talked about above, owner #3 had the engine replaced in June, then there was another service visit in August, which is probably the straw that broke the camel's back.
they need to fix the back bumper damage, and replace the tires, and maybe lower the price a tad to inquisitive customers from 500 miles away.
You need trees that grow money for that.
The data I look at is by dealer licensed subscription only.
Don't bother with a Murano.
