Hi, trying to sell my 2017 Tacoma TRD sport on marketplace and it’s been terrible as I expected. Has anyone listed and sold a vehicle on auto trader before? If so how was your experience?

Trying to decide if it’s worth spending the money and listing it there. If anyone has other websites they have used let me know.

Also dealerships / carvana / carmax are giving me terrible offers so will definitely not go that route.

Hi, I’m currently shopping for my first RAV4 and would like some direction. I’m looking at years 2009-2012 V6 limited if possible.

Anything I should watch out for? I’d most likely be purchasing one with around 120k-150k miles.

The goal is to own a reliable car that’s decent in bad weather. I will be putting good tires on which ever one I buy.

Would like to hear from anyone who owns an older RAV4, also if it’s worth looking for a v6 or is the 2.5 also reliable.

Thanks

I’m in the process of purchasing my first Subaru. I’m looking for an SUV that’s decent in snow so I’m thinking of either getting a 2013–2016 Forester or 2013–2016 Outback

I’m hoping for some direction on the best years for these models and what to watch out for. Overall, I’m just trying to find the most reliable Subaru when all required maintenance is done.

Thank you for any advice!

My fiancée and I are looking at booking Holualoa Inn for a January wedding. The property looks gorgeous and the pricing seems pretty reasonable compared to other venues we’ve looked at.

A few questions for anyone with experience:

•	Has anyone gotten married there, or attended a wedding at Holualoa Inn? Would love to hear how it went — coordination, vendors, overall vibe.  
•	What’s Holualoa like in January weather-wise? We’re picturing a daytime outdoor ceremony and want to know if we should expect rain, or anything else.  
•	Any vendor recommendations (catering, florals, coordination) for that area of the Big Island?

Any insight — good or bad — would be really appreciated. Thanks!

Hi all! Just started planning a wedding and hoping to get some advice from anyone who’s had (or attended) a wedding in Costa Rica. Jan- march 2027

My main concern: I’m not sure a $15k budget is realistic for 30 people or fewer. Would love to hear from anyone who’s pulled off something similar (or who can tell me I’m dreaming).

Here’s where I’m at so far:

•	The Westin Reserva Conchal — booked out until May 2027, so that’s off the table.

•	Nayara Resorts — no longer doing weddings at all.

•	Rio Celeste Hideaway Hotel — beautiful, but way too expensive for the budget.

•	Pangas — available, and seems like a real option! Downside is it’s event-only, so I’d still need to sort out lodging for guests nearby.

•	Almonds & Corals Boutique — checking to see if they can shuffle things around to find an open weekend.

•	Villas in Tamarindo & Langosta — looking into renting a big villa (fits \~25 people) and hosting the wedding there instead of a resort. Could be cheaper, but a lot of villas seem to require a 5-night minimum, which might blow the budget on its own.

Would love any thoughts on:

•	Other venues or areas worth looking into for a small, budget-conscious wedding  
•	Whether the villa route is actually cheaper once you factor in catering, rentals, etc.  
•	Wedding planner recommendations that aren’t going to charge a fortune  
•	Any hidden costs I should be watching out for in Costa Rica specifically

Update: thank you all for the suggestions, what I’ve found for anyone interested is renting a villa that sleeps 25 people with a private cook is looking like the cheapest option. If you have rented a villa that came with a private cook. Share your experience.

My fiancée and I are planning a small wedding, around 50 guests, for late January or early February 2027. We want somewhere warm, and being surrounded by nature is our top priority — more than luxury or amenities. Open to warm US states or Central/South America. The one place we’d rather skip is Mexico.

Right now we’re looking at Hotel Atitlán in Guatemala, but the photos look almost too perfect, so we’re a little worried it might not hold up in person. Also considering Colombia but haven’t picked a specific spot yet.

If you’ve gotten married or been to a wedding somewhere nature-heavy and warm, would love to hear how it went and any venues you’d recommend!

I’m a financial analyst at a manufacturing company and I’m ready to move on. It’s been about a year and a half and I’ve realized this type of work just doesn’t play to my strengths. I spend most of my time doing variance analysis, reconciliations, and month-end close — nothing wrong with it, but I’m slowly dying at my desk.

I have a finance degree and genuinely enjoy the analytical side of things, but I don’t want to go deeper into accounting or traditional FP&A. I want something that actually uses my brain in a different way — ideally more people-facing or dynamic.

A couple of things I’ve considered:

**•	Medical sales** — I like the idea of being out of the office, commission upside, and using some financial/analytical thinking to support clients  
**•	Startups** — broader role, more ownership

But I’m open to pretty much anything. What industries or roles have you transitioned into from a finance background that you actually enjoy? Would love to hear from people who made a similar jump.

I live in the US and purchased my ring in Singapore. I need an insurance company that will replace it internationally, but both Briteco and Jewelers Mutual have told me they only replace rings within the US.

Does anyone know of a company that will cover this?
