Yeah auctions are a big issue, but the car market is saturated with junk that people think is worth something. Two years ago I bought a Supercharged 97 Riviera with a bad transmission for $400. I was thrilled, I figured I would have $500 or $600 into it (total of a grand) and sell it for 1500. Needless to say I have almost 3 grand into it now, and I will keep it until I get my moneys worth. Everyone in this area thinks that even though they car is broken that they can get top dollar, and a lot of idiots are paying high numbers on Craigs List. I had a chance to buy a 97 Jeep Grand Cherokee yesterday, it had 150K miles on it, it needed a cat. converter, transmission had internal issues, the tires were shot, and both pinion seals were leaking. That right there is $1200 at least (my cost), I figured if I could get the car for $500 I would still have some meat left. She tells me she has done some looking and has found cars like hers selling for $2500-$3000.00, I said, I believe that if they are in good running order which yours isn't. So I asked her again how much she wanted and she says "I won't take a dime under $1500". I told her that we were worlds apart, and that I would buy it for $500, she said that it was worth "at least $1500". Sometimes these interactions remind me of Pawn Stars, how people come in and want triple the value of their items (sometimes junk).

Dear Mr. Craash:
In a case of this nature, I suggest you consider contacting your local churches. Here in Nashville, cars are donated to churches all the time (I, myself, have done it). The donor is allowed a tax deduction and the church can use the vehicle for any number of purposes including giving said automobile to a person in need of transportation. For example, if it weren't for this system, many of the Lost Boys who relocated to Nashville would never have had a job or gone to school because they never would have had transportation. I'm sure other cities have similar programs. Just an idea and probably worth a day of phone calls to local churches. FAX |

Buy Here Pay Here is legalized loan sharking. Of all the shit people worry about Uncle Sugar "fixing" for them, this should be on the top of the list. But it's not even on the radar because as a group, they have their lobbying shit together.
Bob Dole could go to one of many pawn shops locally and buy a $1500 vehicle that would last for at least a year. The trick to getting out of the hole is that she's going to have to make a monthly "car payment" to herself to a dedicated account so if/when it requires a repair that's not feasible, she has the money to replace it. |

Here's how you help her with a simple "Ten Step" program and you at the same time:
Step one: Set up a private room in your house Step two: Put ad up on Chiefs Planet, Eros and Craigslist for her services at $300 per hour Step three: Let her do her thing 6 times a day for one week. $1,800 a day x 5 days = $9,000 Step four: Give her $6,000, you keep $3,000 Step five: She gives you a "freebie" for helping her out Step six: She buys her car Step seven: Kick her out and disinfect the room Step eight: Start thread on CP bragging about your recent business success Step nine: Post photos on CP Step ten: Draft Geno Smith This looks like a winning formula to me!
