AI-generated image of a man worried about the resale value of his car.

I bought a vehicle with the highest trim package, but resale buyers do not seem to care. Did I overpay for features nobody values?

The highest trim felt worth the money when the vehicle was new. Now resale offers barely seem higher than those for simpler versions of the same model.

Scratchedleasedcar-Simple

My lease is up next month and the car has a few scratches. Will I be charged for them?

That little scrape on the door you got in the parking garage? Those light scratches from everyday use? It’s easy to worry about whether a few cosmetic imperfections will turn into an unexpected bill. The good news is that with most leasing companies, whether you’ll be charged depends on how deep the damage goes and whether it crosses the line into “excessive” territory.

AI-generated image of a woman worried about tree damage to her car.

My neighbor's tree damaged my parked car, but he refuses to pay for it. Is the law on my side?

Few property disputes are more frustrating than walking outside and discovering a neighbor's tree has damaged your parked car. Most people assume the tree owner must automatically pay because the tree came from their property. Then the neighbor refuses responsibility, the insurance companies start asking questions, and suddenly the situation becomes much more complicated.

man surprised at car collecting data

My car keeps collecting location data, and I had no idea how detailed the record was. Can I make it stop?

I always assumed my car only knew where I was while I was using navigation. Then I learned that many connected vehicles can store or transmit detailed location information long after the trip is over. The more I read, the more I wondered exactly how much my car knew about me, and whether I could stop it.
