Parents invested in a condo conversion at the tail end of the ’70s boom. After brief appreciation the market tanked, and comps fell by 40% or so (for those units that actually sold). The seller failed to disclose that the complex was in the middle of a flood zone, which everyone found out the hard way a few years later. By then the lender (a well-known S&L of the era) was the only party left to sue. HOA fees doubled within a few years due to vacant units.

They were able to sell at a break-even price in 1989. Since then the complex has gone through a major boom-bust cycle and comps aren’t that far above 1979 levels.

This sounds a lot like the ’80s TV miniseries “Amerika,” which was incidentally inspired by one of America’s most renowned economists … Ben Stein.

BBB gives Poway Toyota a C-minus:

I’d suggest looking elsewhere even if they come down on price. Some car salespeople have a deeply seated psychological need to stick it to the customer, and if you make them come down on price they may try twice as hard to screw you somewhere else in the deal.

Try another dealership. Try a buying service (e.g. through Costco or some insurance companies), which should get you the fleet price. Try carsdirect.com. Anything but going to one dealer only and playing their game by their rules.
