    Times have really changed. When I bought my GTS in 1990 it was simply a cool old car, now it is a down payment on a house.

    Front end rebuild - what's it worth?

    I would say the owner does it his self, or be prepared to pay. few people are knowledgable enough to make short work of it. There are so many variables to consider, Including the possibility of worn out A frames, upper or lower, tired torsion bars, tie rod ends, Idler arms, pitman arms, labor...

    Real Estate agents

    A good agent can spot the best contract. For the last two years the list price is not what the home is for sale for, it is where the minimum price starts, with sometimes 10 offers 25% above list price. In this area, the average FSBO bombs 85% of the time, per figures from the Title companies I...

    When is time to file a claim

    I would let them total it, take the cash, and buy it back. The hail damage will not affect its ability to tow anything. Fix it at your leisure, and re-Insure.

    There goes the A body Market

    just the opposite of what one would think, when the economy and uncertain times hit, collectible values go up. They are considered having a tangible value versus cash in the bank. why else would a dealer offer me 30,000 for a 2016 challenger SXT (20k miles)recently that I paid 28,000 for in 2016?

    Anyone familiar with real estate law ?

    the primary control over the contract are the financing terms. read it thoroughly, it will tell you your rights, as your agent should have explained to you.In every state I know of, it takes two people to Initiate a contract, and two people to cancel a contract. Your lender can either deny your...

    Anyone familiar with real estate law ?

    The buyer can make up the difference, or the seller can lower his price. But, neither is required to do anything. everything is conditional on financing, including the appraisal. If the lender denys the loan based on low appraisal, the deal is dead. The seller has to refund the money,as the...

    Anyone familiar with real estate law ?

    he can't hold the earnest deposit, but if he does he also can't resell the house, as you two have a contract. I recommend your agent tell his agent if he resells without a release, you can sue him for damages and harm, thus putting a cloud on his title. no title company will process it if they...

    Anyone familiar with real estate law ?

    I tell people all the time, that the houses aren't worth more, the money is worth less. The cheaper the Interest rate, the higher the price goes. The Govt is borrowing new, cheap money to pay off higher interest rate treasury notes. typical shell game,,,,Then they can borrow even more! That is...

    Anyone familiar with real estate law ?

    If the appraisal is low, the Buyer has only one recourse. pay the difference, or the lender will deny the loan, the deal is dead. You have to be given the chance to cover the shortage. but, if you can't, the deal is dead. the seller can negotiate a new deal. (I have been selling since 1993...

    Nick's garage

    clearly nicks garage has many real time clients, and they are happy. The one time I watched tonys show I couldn't decide what put me off more, the weezing and being out of breath or the time he took to show us and talk about the chickens in his back yard. now if he had shown a coyote chasing...
