I sold my house in the spring of 2006 – priced it at the low end of the range of properties listed for sale in that area – and it sold very quickly. All my neighbors thought I sold it too low and were mad at me for ruining the comps. Well, now the values in that neigborhood are 250K below what I sold it for! Actually, a couple of the people that told me I was selling it too cheap actually lost their homes to foreclosure.

More recently, I have friends that have been trying to sell their house this year but have listed it a little high as compared to actual sold comps and at the high end of the range of listings. They actually refused an offer because it was 20K or so below what they *thought* it was worth. Well, they are still trying to sell it!

Garmin StreetPilot. I’ve actually had both the Garmin StreetPilot and Garmin NUVI – one for each of my cars. The NUVI is a lot smaller and slicker looking but it died and I returned it to Costco. The StreetPilot is clunky looking but it’s very easy to use and it’s been going strong for 3 years. Now I’ve downsized to one car so I only need one GPS anyway – the StreetPilot – it’s great. I recommend investing a few extra $ and getting a friction mount for it since you can put the whole assembly away in your glove box (if you have a large enough glove box) and leave no trace of a theft target for car prowlers. The suction mounts leave a ring on the windshield that is a dead giveaway to theives.

bearishgurl is right about Lexus. I’ve got a 12 year old Lexus LS400 with 160,000 miles on it that runs and drives better than most new cars and its built like a tank. It’s a V8 with 290hp but it still gets 25+ mpg on the highway on long trips. I still take it on long road-trips and am completely confident in it. As long as you have documentation of the maintenance history (which dealer-serviced Lexus vehicles will always have) and you can see it’s been properly maintained and never crashed, a used Lexus LS400 or LS430 is a screaming deal. It’s also a very roomy car, especially the ones built from 1995 and on which have more headroom.
