My Car Does Not Need Auto Waxing
I have had customer say to me "my car has a clear coat on the paint and does not need waxing." This cannot be any further from the truth. The clear coat is part of the paint process used on most cars and trucks manufactured since the early 1990's. The first coat of paint is the pigment. It goes on flat and has no protection or durability. The clear coat, which is also paint, will make the pigment look transparent and make the pigment appear to have a deep shine. Pre-1990's and some newer autos consist of a single stage paint system, where the gloss and hardener is mixed with the pigment. Neither of these paint systems come protected from the manufacturer and must be waxed or sealed to protect them...

Used Car Pricing: The Insanity Of Used Car Prices!
Used car prices are elusive, despite numerous attempts to harness them. We've all heard of Retail, Private Party and Trade-in values. But do these "help" in determining a vehicle's real value? When we turn to the web for prices, it gets even more elusive. One web site places a retail value on a car at $18,000. Another puts it at $21,000. What should we believe? If sellers are looking to get the highest price for the car they're selling, and the buyer wants to get the best deal possible, is there such thing as a fair used car price for both parties? The answer is yes, but both parties have to be on the same page. We'll call this "page" Fair Market Value. That being said, how do we interpret the...
There is No Due on Sale Jail
The "due-on-sale" clause is probably the most talked about, feared and misunderstood topic in real estate. This article will dispel any misunderstandings you may have about the due-on-sale and suggest a simple, yet effective strategy to get around it. Before we discuss how to get around the due-on-sale, we must understand what it is and where it came from. The due-on-sale (a.k.a "acceleration clause") is a provision in a mortgage document which gives the lender the right to demand payment of the remaining balance of the loan when the property is sold. It is a contractual right, not a law. This means that if title to the property is transferred, the bank may (or may not), at its option, decide to...

A Classic Car Restoration Is A Long Process Of Find And Repair
During my last restoration job I done, the owner of the cat said to me, you just keep finding things to repair, this car wasn't that bad when it came to you. Most people seem to think that their car is in pretty good shape, when in most cases a car that is 30 years, or older usually has quite a bit of problem areas, and things that needs to be fixed. Usually these cars have had a lot of miles put on them, and been driven in bad weather, snow with salted roads, rock chips that turn to rust, bad repair work that has compromised the integrity of the car's body and frame, a collision that has been repaired with short cuts to save money, and number of things can contribute to the demise of a 30+ year old...

Marketing Lessons from Street Performers
How to Market Yourself in Your Underwear "Ayieeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaa!!!!" I thought the two startled businessmen were going to leave a surprise in their shorts. They were bushwhacked from behind the bush by bushwacky. The street crowd held their collective sides as they split with laughter. One of the two best places in America to watch street performers is at Fisherman's Wharf. The two San Franciscans fell victim to the diminutive little man who had set up his small bush office on the sidewalk of the Embarcadero near Pier 39.

Those, who think that purchasing a second hand or older car from an individual dealer eliminates the potential risks, should know that in reality there is simply no guarantee that the vehicle is a good buy as long as it is second-hand. For...
