Participant23 year old furnace? Not a problem if the house is at least 23 years old. What were you expecting? If the house is 5 years old and someone has installed a furnace 18 years older, you have some grounds for complaint.
San Diego’s climate is very mild and furnaces aren’t used heavily. There isn’t that much to go wrong and they aren’t made of plastic. It isn’t that common to replace them. It probably isn’t really near end of life.
Barely works? If it requires maintenance or repair, you should expect the seller to fix it. If it is undersized or the ducting is substandard and it won’t heat the house, you have an issue to work out with seller.
A lot depends on how motivated the seller is and how good the deal is. Your agent seems to feel “not that motivated”….

Participant[quote=Rt.66]Buy an American car:
Upside= $30,000.00 stays in the US and tons of American jobs are helped.Downside= If you believe the BS about lower quality then maybe, MAYBE you may have to take time and visit the dealer one or two more times for a warranty repair over a Honda or whatever.
[/quote]
I have a Buick in the driveway and while it has been reasonably reliable, the paint is peeling off in sheets and the interior is disintigrating. Fixing either of these would cost more than a new engine. I’ll think about buying another american car when I see one that is 10 years and 100K miles old without looking ready for the crusher.
Buying an American brand also conflicts with my goal to buy non-union whenever possible.

ParticipantElsewhere, I have read that only 1 trillion of the 5 represents bubble loans so most of their loans still have collateral. Given that, a trillion as a worst case doesn’t seem unreasonable.
