RALEIGH, N.C. — Spiraling gas prices are forcing more and more folks to try and find more fuel efficient automobiles. However, getting rid of the old gas guzzler is no easy feat.
Industry figures indicate as gas prices rose, sales of new SUV’s and pick-ups dropped almost 33 percent last month.
Not only are people not buying gas guzzlers, but those who already own them are trying to unload those big, low mileage vehicles, which in turn is flooding the market and making dealers reluctant to take them in as trades.
One of those dealers is Lloyd Price Jr., who owns Raleigh Auto on Capital Blvd. He says his most popular sellers right now are used Toyotas and Hondas.
“I have Civics here. They’re about seven to eight years old and run around $5,000,” he said. “The cars th

Business Times - 08 May 2008 US home slump puts owners 'underwater' Values fall 7.7% in Q1 to lowest point in nearly 3 years (NEW YORK) US home values dropped 7.7 per cent in the first quarter to the lowest in almost three years, according to estimates by Zillow.com, an online data provider. The decline is the biggest in 12 years of data compiled by Seattle-based Zillow.com, a website started in 2006 to provide homeowners, real estate agents and potential buyers with value assessments called 'zestimates' for single-family homes, cooperative apartments and condominiums. US house prices dropped for the first time since the 1930s last year, discouraging buyers who fear being 'underwater' on their mortgage, or owing more on their home than it's worth. That's already happened to almost 52 per c

Price and availability will force gas-guzzlers off the road. Price at the pump will also force people to use more reasonable means of transportation. The consumption of oil should go towards certain industries, which are deemed necessary like the airline industry, or towards humanitarian efforts. Allowing people to purchase too much car or too much house accelerates entropy or the loss of nonrenewable resources. It should be mandatory that people drive small cars when public transportation is not available. Strategically, it is a smart move. Given that oil is a nonrenewable resource and so much of the world’s civilization relies on its continuance, I am surprised that corporations and governments have not responded sooner to peak oil concerns. Also, do not forget climate change.

If you have a hot tub, you most likely already have a hot tub cover – the cover that came with it. The question is, is that hot tub cover the best cover for you hot tub? Hot tub covers serve four major purposes. One, they keep impurities out of your water. Two, they are also important in terms of safety – pets or small children could fall into a hot tub without a cover. Three, hot tub covers help hot tubs retain heat, keeping heating bills low. Four, they protect hot tub shells from direct sun exposure, which can harm hot tubs.So, how do you determine whether or not your hot tub cover is working for you? If you have children or pets, you definitely want to keep your cover on when you are not using the hot tub. Make sure that your hot tub cover fits securely over your hot tub – also m

Business Times - 25 Apr 2008 Majority owners at Airview Towers win appeal THE Court of Appeal has overturned the ruling by the High Court and Strata Titles Board (STB) on the collective sale of Airview Towers, paving the way for mainboard-listed Bukit Sembawang Estates to acquire the property for $202 million. Located at St Thomas Walk, Airview Towers became the subject of a civil appeal after a sole resident, Ken Lee, objected to the collective sale, arguing that the minimum 80 per cent approval rate needed was not met in time. This was because during the process of the collective sale, a few owners had sold their units and their successors had apparently not signed the documents agreeing to the en bloc sale at the date of application. Although STB and the High Court had ruled in Mr Lee's

April 25, 2008 FEES UNPAID FOR 10 YEARS, OWNERS UNCONTACTABLE, SO...Condo unit to be auctioned off to recover money owed By Joyce Teo AN UNUSUAL auction of an apartment worth over $1 million is scheduled for next week - after the mysterious disappearance of the owners. The three-bedroom unit at King's Mansion off Tanjong Katong Road has been vacant for more than 10 years. Repeated attempts by the condo's management corporation (MC) to get in touch with the owners and their lawyers have failed. The four owners, all foreigners, owe possibly $30,000 or more in maintenance fees. So the MC is taking the rare step of putting the flat up for sale to recover the money without the owners' cooperation. The auction is set for next Wednesday. Little information is available about the owners but it is

The Home InspectionBefore you commit to buying a home, it is important to have a thorough home inspection completed.

If the home passes the inspection, you will have peace of mind knowing that you are making a wise investment. However, if the home inspection uncovers some problems with the house, you will have time to negotiate with the seller to fix the problems, lower the selling price, or even cancel the offer on the house.Home inspection costs can vary greatly depending on a number of factors including the age of the home, square footage, number of ro

WASHINGTON -- Chicken jerky treats may have sickened dozens of dogs, federal health officials warned Wednesday despite failing to find any trace of contamination.

While most dogs appear to have recovered, an unspecified number died.I have personally read and much more than 70 complaints - if your dog ate these treats and got sick and you believe it is related, you MUST call the FDA. The FDA said it's conducted extensive chemical and microbial testing on the treats but has not identified any contaminant. The agency continues to investigate. Separately, the FDA
April 17, 2008 Regent Garden owners ordered to complete en bloc sale to Allgreen By Joyce Teo OWNERS at Regent Garden must complete the collective sale of their condominium after the High Court handed down a landmark decision in favour of developer Allgreen Properties yesterday. The $34 million sale, which the Strata Titles Board (STB) threw out in late January, must be finalised by May 16. The decision ends one of the more unusual collective sale disputes. Initially, 25 owners signed off on the sale in April last year, but they later tried to overturn the deal, claiming, among other things, that the condo was undervalued. Although the owners had opted for a fixed $34 million price, they were unhappy that a development charge payable by Allgreen turned out to be much lower than expected.

The Spanish government may owe former Spanish property owners thousands after charging an unfair amount of tax. A Spanish legal company believes that an estimated £37m is now owed to British former owners alone. What is more, they say that Brits can now start the long process of getting their money back because, they suggest, it flies in the face of EU laws on discrimination. This means that if you were one of the 4,500 British citizens who sold Spanish property between 2004 and 2007, and were charged at the non-resident's CGT rate; you could be eligible for an average rebate of £11,000.

April 11, 2008 Banks close an eye as home owners default on payment NEW YORK - BANKS in the United States are so overwhelmed by the housing crisis they have started to look the other way when home owners stop paying their mortgages. Lenders who allow owners to stay in their homes are distorting the record foreclosure rate and delaying the worst of the housing decline, said Mr Mark Zandi, the chief economist at Moody's Economy.com. These borrowers will eventually send more homes on to an already glutted market. 'We don't have a sense of the magnitude of what's really going on because the whole process is being delayed,' Mr Zandi said.
