Hi everybody! I don’t have a car but want to buy one for my dad - needs to be moderately priced, easy and cheap maintenance. He drives an 8 yo VW which is slowly falling apart. What cars would you suggest I look into?

I am not from the US and taxes overwhelm me; the first few years I did them with TurboTax and it was fine but then I entered a domestic partnership and had a baby. I also bought a house (that I don’t live in), so I went to H&R Block to give it a try assuming they could advise me on optimizing my return, it seemed that they are completely transactional as the person is just typing numbers in a form. Any recommendations on how to navigate personal taxes with an actual advisor?

Scratched quarter panel. Analysis of estimates: some auto body companies say you need to blend paint from damaged quarter panel to door, others say just repaint my messed up quarter panel and don’t touch the door.

How do you know whether to go with the cheap quote (no door) or more costly (door too)?
