Is a crv sport hybrid fwd price $34750? Sounds about right?
I use costco auto. This will be my first time buying a new car. Any tips appreciated.

in 2021 the gas prices in the netherlands are the highest. (idk if we still are number one but still) i know it sounds crazy, but i have my reasons for saying it.
first off: our roads are really good. we dutch people like to make fun of belgium and their bad roads but its true, i notice a significant difference between our roads and their roads.
second: we have attractive alternatives. like biking or taking the bus or the train. i live in zundert (the south of the netherlands) and my school is in etten-leur (12 kilometers away) and i have no problem with taking my bike (if its good weather) and if its bad weather i take the bus, this reduces our carbon dioxide by a bit, and we're in better condition.
so i know its still a lot, especially these days, but try to look at it from the bright side.

I'll admit it. I'm not a car guy and I know just enough to be dangerous. Apologies in advance for so many words.
I'm in Minneapolis and 3 years ago took ownership of this 1999 Ford Contour SVT through a good friend because they owed me a favor. It spent most of its life in California and Arizona, and much of that on a military base. It was a no brainer. 90,000 miles, price was right, and a FUN car to drive. (The smiles and thumbs up at stop lights didn't hurt, either) Aside from a few small tears in the seats, and some peeling clear coat on the roof, and various interior issues (an aftermarket stereo was installed sloppily and many dash components don't attach flush like they should) it looked pretty great. Car also came with a subwoofer installed in the trunk.
Almost immediately after purchasing I was rear ended. I wasn't at fault, insurance company totaled it out. Much of the rear fascia was busted but everything was operational. I would later realize the trunk no longer seals properly and water seeps in. Car is mostly garaged and fully functional So I kept driving it. Some time later I was sideswiped by some doofus changing lanes without looking. Insurance found me not at fault again and AGAIN totaled the car out. Big crease along the rear passenger side but managed to miss any important parts (gas cap, door handle, door edge)...so...again I kept driving it. While recently having a local (trusted) garage replace the alternator they found a myriad of issues big and small. Including loose front lower control arms and sway bar links, missing rear sway bar bushings, junk floating in the radiator, and lots of leaks. While deciding on exactly what to do, and waiting for used car prices to come down (spoiler alert...they never did), the front brakes have now gone bad.
SO MY QUESTION IS What can I honestly get for this car? I'm ready to let go of this car, for sure—but how do I price/sell a car with mechanical issues, AND a collision history that may affect the frame? I never noticed and problems beside the trunk leaking, but the body shop post collision was adamant they didn't want to tackle anything. Should I get the brakes done so it rolls at least, and simply divulge the rest to a seller? Should I abandon all repairs and try and sell to someone who can tow who wants to part this car to collectors? (I myself am in no position to part it out) Because of the make and model, the car feels like it still has value—but also seems overwhelmed with issues. Online value calculators are coming in WAY over what I would expect, even with me ticking every box I can regarding repairs.

TLDR: should I purchase a laptop without Microsoft Office preinstalled?
Hello. I’m new to this forum and while I always do what I need to do on computers, they’re merely a tool for me, not a field of interest. Please be kind.
I have an old, reliable Dell laptop that was giving me problems. In mid-March I purchased a low end Lenovo laptop from Costco; it had a year of MS Office. I used it right away, downloaded and installed Zoom, had a few Zoom meetings, and all was well. Miraculously, the issues with my old laptop seemed to correct themselves, so I then didn’t use the Lenovo for a few weeks.
When I returned to the new machine, my Zoom was unusable, and the laptop would not let me download, much less install anything, deeming those applications unsafe. The laptop came with technical support through Costco; they couldn’t help me and referred me to Lenovo customer support, who have also been less than helpful on many fronts.
Can anyone explain to me what happened so that the laptop rejected the applications I’d installed and wouldn’t let me download any others?
Is it less problematic to purchase a laptop without MS Office pre-installed?
I got an excellent price on this machine, but I still have time to return it.
Words of wisdom are appreciated, thank you in advance.

I know one is ovbiously gas the other is Electric, but I was looking for a AK for displaying. I heard LCT pretty much makes the AK body for GHK. Is this true? Cause for a display piece theres a good $300-400 price difference.

Any speculation if there will be future price drops or upgraded models arriving soon? If I order from Costco I was going to use the Apple gift card towards a cheap iPad for Trueplay.
Also how good or bad does Arc + Sub Gen 3 sound if I get the rears later?

I have a japanese yellow DSI LL, asking for 80 or for a ps vita, I'm willing to negotiate on the price if you don't have a PSVITA
Currently don't have a car, so we have to meet up at my local gas station

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 44%. (I'm a bot)

Russian oil companies have exported 37% more gasoline so far this year despite Western sanctions over Moscow's invasion of Ukraine, the Kommersant business daily reported Friday.
January-May 2023 gasoline exports from Russia neared 2.5 million tons, the publication said, citing an unidentified source familiar with the data.
Russia exported about 2 million tons of gasoline in January-March, up from around 1.5 million tons in the first quarter of 2022.
With gas price increases and shortages on the domestic market, Russian authorities were also considering banning gasoline exports altogether, Reuters reported last month.
The ban forced Russia, which previously exported 2.5 million tons of gasoline every year to Europe, to reroute exports to other continents including Africa.
Africa imported a record 812,000 tons of Russian gasoline - about one-third of Russia's total exports - over the same period.

Price is valid through 6/18.

I have been paying $490 per week for a standard but really nice SUV with enterprise for the last 6 weeks and will have to do so for another 6 weeks. I noticed enterprise is usually all booked so it got me wondering, why not fill the gap? DMV area, mostly (near or around DC area though so Baltimore County to Northern VA near Dulles).
So here’s the plan
Start off with 1 EV, Tesla model 3 Long Range with no full self driving ($50,380, $7500 tax incentive + $3000 state incentive). Then slowly scale up to Rivan R1S SUV ($80-90k) and the Cybertruk.
$80 daily rate (Monday - Thursday)
$150 daily rate (Friday - Sunday)
Loyalty program
-$100 p/m or rent for 10 weeks or longer per year to qualify
-$60 p/d rate
Optional add-ons

• $15 p/d for insurance
  
• $100 for pickup/drop off at xyz location
  
• $1.99 p/d or $10 p/m for Tesla connectivity
  

Customer acquisition

• online ads - $3.5 CPC, $15 CPM,
  
• 12.5% referral payout per rental
  
• online platforms such as turo, hyrecar, Ubers new platform
  
• partnership agreements with local businesses
  

$630 weekly rate ($90 p/day) if booked 24 hours in advance, $700 for instant booking
Rideshare option - renter can use for Uber or Lyft
Food delivery option - renter can use for Dominos or Doordash or Uber Eats, etc
US business mileage tax deduction- $0.65.
Assuming mostly rideshare drivers use me and the car is driven at least 100 miles per day, 36,500 miles * $0.65 = $23,725 back in taxes
Assuming I rent daily at my lowest price of $80, that’s $29,200 gross per vehicle.
$29,200 * 0.60 (40% tax) = $17,520 gross
$50,380 - $10,000 down payment = $40,380
$40,380 @ 10% interest, 48 months = $1,024.14 monthly
I want to pay the car off in 24 months
After 12 months, my balance will be $31,739.40
$31,739.40 - $7500 federal EV credit - $3,000 state EV credit = $21,739.40
I’m not sure how to calculate the mileage deduction so I’ll leave that out as extra income. I used to do Uber and Lyft and $200-300 after Uber fees working a day are realistic. I have also done Dominos which pays out $13 p/hr and has unlimited overtime if you are willing to close, you can seriously do 70 hours OT (10am to 2am) but your only driving half or 1/3 of the time, plus $350 tips, so your looking at $1000+ per week working 10-12 hrs daily, $1700 if your willing to slave away. The difference in electric vs gas is pretty significant. That cost savings could result in 50% savings. For example I was spending $50 daily to fill up with Uber (250-400 miles) and about $25 with dominos (120 miles).
I’m also calling up local repair shops and dealerships and businesses to offer my cars as loaners. Repair shops and dealers seem resistant though, they hate EVs. Dealerships in my area charge $50 per day for rentals while cars are being serviced. Not sure about how to contact insurance companies though.
So what do you guys think? Target market are gig workers who are all in for the most part, with some sprinkling of one off customers whether from partnering businesses or google ads, etc.

I don't have a lot of experience or knowledge about credit cards. My parents have never had any credit cards (they also don't trust banks). My credit history only consists of the Capital One platinum credit card that I have a 2% utilization of currently (not completely sure what that means). I used to use the card regularly on eBay for large purchases for my parents but I always pay it off monthly 100%. I had a medical bill that went to collections about 6 years ago but that no longer shows on my credit report.
I also might have just made a stupid mistake by applying the the Capital One SavorOne card as it said I was pre-approved. I also thought since I have an ok savings and checking account with them it would increase the likelihood of my approval. They denied me. Not sure where to go from here.
Thank you for your help. I also would appreciate any other financial advice.
