Very confusing experience buying current-year used car
(25 Messages)
I had always assumed that buying a low mileage, recent year used car was a sure way to save money. I am no longer sure after buying a 2002 Toyota Camry with 10,000 miles. I was originally interested in a 2001 model, but was swayed to 2002 after learning of improvements in that model year. While the car was in excellent condition, I did not feel that I was being offered an obvious savings over a new car. The car had a sticker price that claimed "true market value" with pictures of NADA ...
Petrol prices continue to affect used car values
(20 Messages)
Seems like the large used car segment is taking a bit of a hammering at the moment here in Melbourne, thanks largely to higher petrol prices I would imagine. From this morning's Herald-Sun: '02 BA Futura Wagon - $12850.00 '02 BA XT Sedan - $11850.00 '02 VX Berlina Wagon - $16750.00 '02 VY Berlina Sedan - $16850.00 '02 Toyota Avalon CSX - $13850.00 '01 TJ Magna - 11850.00 These prices are all from the one place, which happens to be a large used car outet, and none of the cars advertised show mile ...

I'm thinking of buying a used 2001 XLT, (4WD, 4DR, 15K miles, nicely equipped). I see nothing wrong with the truck, it's from a private party and he's asking $19,500. What do you think of this price? TIA, /Ron

Buy a New, Used Car, Truck or SUV, Get Prices and Kelley Blue Book Overview With its lean, muscular lines, Mitsubishi's Montero Sport has long been one of the best-looking SUVs. Lately, however, Mitsubishi has been working to prove that beauty is more than skin deep. Last year, the Montero Sport benefited from interior refinements and a coil-sprung rear suspension. For 2001, the body has been re-engineered for greater safety, and both available engines massaged for lower emissions with better fuel economy. Headlining the changes, however, is a new performance-leader 3.5XS model, which combines ...
Driving Impressions With its big 3.5-liter V6, the Limited model is a gutsy rig. Accelerating from a standstill, it almost feels as potent as some of the bigger, V8-powered SUVs. It certainly shows no sign of strain when asked to move its 4330 pounds. And like the smaller, 3.0-liter V6, it's a smooth revver. Montero Sport handles well on freeway ramps, and on winding roads. Its frame is fully boxed, and its long front torsion bars, beefy A-arms, and hefty rear trailing arms are unmistakably heavy-duty pieces. Really big impacts ...
Easily Distracted ?» Blog Archive ?» Rentiers of Sovereignty This is a fascinating and difficult topic. I commented briefly on a NYTimes essay by Nuruddin Farah in which he protests Somalia’s status as property owned by international business interests (waste companies, for example). I think, Farah in that essay argued that Somalia - with no functioning govt - did not really own their own country. However, I’m sure some of the higher ranked warlords benefited from multinational commerce etc. It is tricky, indeed.
Thesis: all undemocratic governments (where we assume the modern West is democratic) are illegitimate rentiers of sovereignty. They are all thieves–including, for example, the rulers of Russia, China, and Saudia Arabia. Query: to be consistent–and not give China a free ride when we’re going after Angola–shouldnt we be enforcing these rules on the producers of somewhere near, or over, half the world GDP (by PPP), and isn’t this unenforceable? Or do you have a consistent rule to distinguish Angola from Saudia Arabia and China?
Bloviate: distracted by hurricane party AT CREEK, Calif.--It's easy to spot Jack Welch's airplane as it glides past the foothills near this tiny mountain town. It's the only one. Hardly anyone lives out this way--just a few thousand locals and a trickle of tourists. That's what makes it the perfect spot for what has turned into Welch's life work: listening to outer space. These days, the UC Berkeley professor's job has become a bit more precise. He's the first to hold the university's chair for the search for extraterrestrial intelligence--what researchers say is the first academic position ...

City hall fever Figuring out the cost of having a city administration building can be an imprecise endeavor, since some of the costs are shared with another facility, such as a public works garage or a police substation. But as best as could be done, Erlanger City Administrator Bill Scheyer broke out the costs of Erlanger's city building. Erlanger, with a population of 16,852, more than doubled the size of its city hall in 2000 by adding 20,000 square feet during a $4.2 million renovation. These budget figures are for the fiscal year that began ...
Individually, city officials make strong cases for the need for more space or better-designed facilities. In Edgewood, for example, council members used to sit on the floor of the mayor's office when they left council chambers to go into executive session. And the fit for a fire truck was so tight that if the engineer braked or accelerated too quickly, the truck would scrape the ceiling.
