ParticipantIn addition to the inability to finance these (hard money legbreakers notwithstanding) any successful bidder is subject to any liens on the property (or even the defaulting borrower) that supersede the trustee’s deed.
Some (like tax liens) can be added to the title up to 120 days after the trustee auction.
The inability to inspect the property, finance, or get title insurance usually means discounts that are an order of magnitude lower.
Again, in my experience.

Participant[quote=CONCHO]Would it be accurate to assume that includes their fuel-focused agriculture?
Yeah I’m sure it includes that.[/quote]
One more reason to normalize relations with Cuba.
They could actually grow their way out of poverty and and I think they could produce cane-based ethanol in a way that could make oil concerns less relevant.

Participant[quote=CONCHO]First, we need to become #1 in agriculture.
I know you were just being sarcastic, but it made me curious so I looked it up. We are in fourth place for agricultural output in dollars worldwide. Only China, India, and Brazil are ahead of us, and two of those countries have more than double our population. Per capita, only Brazil beats the US for agricultural output in dollars.[/quote]

Participant[quote=Rt.66]Urban Realtor, American cars are on par with or better than anything the world has to offer. Where have you been?
It’s offensive to insinuate American cars need to get better, if only because it’s so ignorant. Or perhaps because the statement reeks of the kind of guilt only sending your money to a foreign country, while so many in your country are suffering can bring.
As far as cheaper goes….well if trade laws were actually fair then foreign cars would cost more because we would not be allowing them to manipulate their currencies, I guess that would make US cars cheaper comparatively.
The visiting team is cheating hard on the home team and the umpires are looking the other way. You ok with that just because the visiting team’s boosters are selling hotdogs cheaper?[/quote]
Again, you are missing the point.This is not a game or a sport and there are regulators (who may be lax) not umpires.
That is not the point.
I have zero interest in fixing the auto industry or in showing my patriotism at the dealership.
Also, I am not sure what is ignorant about saying that american cars are comparatively less reliable and practical than foreign cars. I think I am reiterating what most independent review firms (including CR) describe.
The following article is interesting.
I find it interesting that they did not even test Ford Fusion or Chrysler Sebring. It is just a test of whether Chevy can compete against established (read Japanese) brands.
http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/sedans/112_0802_midsize_sedan_comparison/index.htmlIt indicates that Chevy is finally getting to a point where it can compete with the Japanese.
One final note:
I got a new car today.
It is a 2009 Honda Accord.
I made this decision based purely on market considerations.
I would have been willing to go American (because I lease and even American cars last 2 years) but Honda had the best terms and payments.
Its awesome and has a reliability record better than even a Camry or Sonata.As far as suggesting that I feel guilt, well, I don’t know what to say.
I would like it if I came from a country where the auto companies were more competitive, but that is not currently the reality.
I don’t think buying an inferior good (in terms of the vehicle or the financing) is particularly patriotic.
Good luck and I hope your policy of buying inferior goods supporting weak companies (out of sympathy?) serves you well.
Again good luck to you.
