Shred the letter and do it again next year when they want to use the place.
HOA’s don’t have the resources to sue you/enforce the rules. They can’t throw you out of a property you own and pay taxes to the township.

The amount of legal money they would have to fork out to foreclose a lien is way beyond their abilities. Many of them are so poorly run they can’t even properly manage money to fix major issues without borrowing it and then raising dues.
You really think a judge is going to allow them to foreclose a 200K+ home for a few hundred in fines? Obviously this would come up at settlement if they try and sell but that’s a different matter.
No way you are getting thrown out of your home for a minor infraction, especially not a chronic one.

But places like mentioned in Fla from what I’ve heard are way different. Much stricter, with activist level residents.

I’ve heard some HOA horror stories. Just one more thing to consider before you plunk down the big green.

The dashboard looks like the flight deck of the Starship Enterprise. I guess they heard some complaints about the circular vents in the more recent M-Bs, so they invented a new shape.

If I owned a property I wouldn’t think twice of allowing it to be used for a short time. First off, you have to caught, second they would most likely have to warn you first before a fine and third you could fight the fine for any number of reasons. How could they dispute you were just sending someone down to check on your investment?

I am a little ambivalent about buying any new car though. For one thing I only have 26000 miles on the E. But, more importantly, auto makers are turning more to electric cars, so could I take a big hit if I bought a gasser. But, I understand electric cars are also risky, you could get stuck with a beta-max model with all the changing technology - longer lasting batteries, better performance, lower prices etc. etc.
Probably a good time to sit out or lease. I heard people are leasing more for these reasons....mainly the unknown.

We have had responsible adult children use a condo in our community and so far it has worked out fine. BUT, if irresponsible children take over and the place becomes party central then that could upset people, especially seniors. I tend to think, the rule is probably a good one, and if it doesn't seem suitable, then the people should buy a detached house.

One of us suggested (imid I think) that the car was running hot.
Price is on the high end but that can’t be a fun job on that transverse big V6. Not a lot of room in there.

The touchscreens of the new MBUX layouts bug me a bit - fingerprints will be everywhere. I don't know how redundant the controls are, I hope things can be operated without the screen.
MB needs to bring back some old designs, and use new age powertrains - give me this lineup, please (I believe this is ~1983):
Or these (~1986):

Same for HOAs, though usually, that is for non-payment of HOA fees/dues.
But, really... why would you buy a condo where you don't want to live by the restrictions?

there is a big market at the level. My 2008 was bought up despite its warts with
needing some brake service at $1800. I was waiting for the bidding war the posts
here kept talking about, but then I remembered that dealt with houses and not cars. LOL
Actually I'd have been happy at $1500 and higher.
Big stress was getting wheels balanced and rotated on the Michelin Defender tires.
Wheels in previous location had been smooth riding, but needed rotating.
First try was not good. So they redid Wednesday. Car was parked in driveway that afternoon
with window signs and sold before dark for cash.
I don't see how some folks can repeatedly sell cars by themselves. Maybe it's a
learned skill. I had my pecking order of things to try from talking to service manager
at local dealership and to one of the workers we know there to locate a car lot
or person who buys and fixes to the local bottom end car lots and wrecking yards
with lots of cars they salvage in front of their buildings and last was Goodwill.
(Or maybe Cars for Kids--remember that tune?)
2014 Malibu 2LT, 2015 Cruze 2LT,
I once heard that putting a sign on a car on your property did not work too well.....I have no idea personally. Did you try anything else at the same time.
What was the original cost of the 2008....it sounds like you got your moneys worth from it?
