LATCH or seatbelt for car seat? It still wiggles after installation, did I do it wrong?

My second baby is almost here, and I bought a new infant car seat. I've been studying the instruction manual until my head hurts: should I use the LATCH system or the seatbelt to secure it? The manual says either is fine, but not both at the same time. Why can't I use both? Isn't double protection better? Also, after installing the base, I can still move it two to three centimeters when I shake it hard. Online sources say 'it shouldn't move more than an inch.' Does that mean I failed? My mother-in-law had someone install my firstborn's seat back then, but this time I want to figure it out myself. Are there any places in New Jersey that offer free installation checks?

Can I buy a car with a minor accident record? Tempted by the $3000 discount

I'm looking at a 2020 CR-V that's $3000 cheaper than market price. Carfax shows one minor accident, with the front bumper repaired. Should I go for it?

Can international students without an SSN buy a car and get insurance?

Just arrived in LA for grad school and want to buy a car for getting around, but I don't have an SSN yet. I wanted to ask everyone: 1. Can I transfer ownership and register the car without an SSN? 2. Will insurance companies refuse coverage or charge a lot more? 3. Is it simpler to buy the car outright with cash?

Full Process for Buying a Car from a Private Seller + Scam Prevention Checklist (California Edition, Recommended to Save)

People keep DMing me, so I've put together a process for private sales in California: 【Before the Transaction】 1. Use the VIN to check for recalls and Carfax, and verify the VIN on the title matches the car's VIN. 2. Confirm the title is clean (not salvage/rebuilt), and the seller's name matches their ID. 3. Inspect the car during the day, start it cold, and definitely test drive it on the freeway. 4. Spend $100-150 for a third-party mechanic to do a PPI (pre-purchase inspection); this is the best money you'll spend. 【During the Transaction】 5. Use a cashier's check or transfer funds in person; don't carry large amounts of cash. 6. Both parties fill out the back of the title + Bill of Sale, accurately reporting the mileage. 7. The seller must provide a valid smog certificate (within 90 days). 【After the Transaction】 8. Transfer the title at the DMV within 10 days; pay the use tax. 9. Get insurance before driving the car away. 【Red Flags】Rushing to sell / Only accepting cash / Refusing a PPI / Saying they'll provide the title later because it's not in hand - walk away immediately.

New immigrant with no credit history, is a 14% car loan rate normal??

The dealer quoted me a rate of 14.9% for 60 months, which scared me to death. If I have no credit history, do I just have to accept it? Is there any way to lower it?

How to read a Carfax report? What are the red flags?

When looking at car listings, they all come with Carfax, but the reports are several pages long. I want to ask what the key things to look at are. Is a minor accident considered serious?
