Been thinking about trading in my 2016 GLC 300 for a hybrid SUV. Supposedly a good time trade in low to mid-range mileage cars.

That's always the issue, whether it be cars or houses. You can sell high, but you can't buy low.

Must agree, but in my instance, the offers from the likes of Vroom, Algo, and two others was higher than the original price I paid for my '17 Toyota Tacoma OffRoad/TRD (this was early October). It enabled me to move up into a similarly equipped 5 year newer pickup for little money (once I found a dealer willing to sell just at MSRP). Could I have done better waiting 6 months to a year from now...possibly, but I wasn't willing to gamble on that.

Well I don't have anyone to tell IRL and I'm bursting at the seams so why not you lovely bunch of internet strangers

I don't have a proper pic because I don't have it in hand yet but I just pulled the trigger on a center stone for an engagement ring. Pretty nerve wracking process, and so much left to do.

Thanks! And yea it's a pretty cut style, she mentioned it as her favorite a few years ago so I've kept it in mind. I'm just a bit concerned because I hear it's relatively fragile at the corners due to the cut and the internal structure of diamonds

Get insurance if you didn’t already.

Thanks (I think so too). The update was seriously overdue and needed. While it's still on the same frame (I had a '12 Frontier for 5 yrs.), things like hydraulic cab mounts, a 9 spd Mercedes Benz sourced trans, an added rear sway bar along with Bilstein shocks, and double laminated side glass (for less noise intrusion) have made it a much more up to date ride.

^This. And go with Jewelers Mutual. I shopped around. Their coverage is much better than the coverage you get with homeowners insurance. It covers damage and loss.

We had another insurer for a while - can’t remember name, but they only insured when my wife was wearing the jewelry or it was locked up. I thought that was ridiculous. What if she removed her ring and put it on the counter while cooking or washing her hands and forgot to put it back on? Jewelers Mutual insures it - period. And they are easy to deal with and cost a little less.

Purchased princess cut 22 years ago, never had that issue. It wasn’t a large stone but I wasn’t a wealthy man either lol. You should be fine.

Not even remotely lol. I was technically jobless when purchased, just moved back to country and asking for her hand in marriage. I think the set was just sub $5k. In todays terms I may as well get it from a bubble gum machine

LOL. Man we do in fact share some similar history it seems. When I moved back to the country presumably from the same foreign land, I was also jobless but got married around the same time. However, I was stupid and had some money after having lived abroad for a long period of time and bought my e46 M3 in cash without ever having driven one. I think you already know that story.

Exactly, they get mounted at the corners. No concerns on them.
