Locate an Auto Repair Shop in Lake Havasu City, Arizona

Hi Kukar I have no idea about what rebates were part of the deal. I negotiated with the dealer over the internet (email) back and forth for couple days. I knew (thanks to edmunds) what would be the MSRP/sticker for the van I like and basically offered to dealer $8k off MSRP. finally they offered $40,000 for van with MSRP $44,934 and I agreed to buy it. I think it was a good deal. State: Crystal Lake, IL (Pauly Toyota). This is from email I got from the dealer: dealer did not know about my traid in at that time. I got $10,500 for my 04 Sienna LE with 60k miles. Selling Price 40000.00 Trade Allowance Cash Difference 40000.00 SBO 0.00 Doc Fee 154.38 Elec.

The engines are all the same in 2007. I named mine "misbehaving b****" for sharing purposes here. I can't believe you made it to over 100,000 miles without any problems. You must have gotten the one vehicle off the line that was built with better parts. Good for you. The rest of us are jealous. I would recommend dumping the thing while it still runs and you haven't been stuck with a massive bill to fix it. I stuck over 6k in my car in repairs, and that was only two repairs. I dumped my car after the second mishap which was the timing chain issue. I fixed it and traded it for a German product. Mazda's customer service is absolutely worthless when dealing with the Cx-7, just an FYI. I make it one of my goals everyday to find someone who drives a Cx-7 and warn them to get rid of it as soon as possible. It's unfortunate, but I will NEVER buy Mazda again, nor will I EVER tell anyone anything good about them. If you want to continue to like Mazda, then trade it in for something else. I know they changed the newest models due to all of the issues. You may be safer with that, but I'm going to guess that will end up with it's own set of issues soon enough. Good luck. I'm still waiting for Mazda to reimburse me, but I have a better chance of seeing God walk across the Lake in my backyard.

I bet there's some great tent spots down at Black Lake (when you live in the UP, almost everything is down).

"Did you put any conditions on the house you were buying?" First, thanks to all for the good wishes. Still, it is far from a done deal. The only condition in the contract is a contingency that our house must sell within 90 days. With the new due diligence regulations, the owner must remove his house from the market for a specified amount of time. He chose 90 days. I don't blame him. Under the old rules, an owner could continue to show his property to prospective buyers. This no longer holds true. The new rule actually benefits the buyer, but handicaps the seller to a degree. If our house doesn't sell in 90 days, we could ask the owner for an extension. To do that, we would have to prove that our house was actively being seen. Even then, the owner might not grant the extension. After buying 14 houses over the years, I outlined my strategy for this deal very carefully. First, I negotiated a great deal on the new property. I wanted to do this because I'm planning to take a $42K loss on the current house. I'm doing this in order to meet the 90 day target. The money lost will be made up by the deal that I got on the new property. I managed to negotiate the owner's price downward by $110K. Even his listing agent was amazed. As to your inquiry regarding the market here: It's better than the national average and much better than New York, Pennsylvania, Florida, and Arizona---the four states with the worst market conditions presently. Our resort market here has always depended on New York and Pennsylvania first. Another factor here is the amount of inventory out there and the price competition. The U.S. is also preparing for the final flood of foreclosures to hit the market within the next three to six months. That will also impact the market. I'm trying to beat the arrival of that flood. I'm saying all of this to simply put it this way: I don't know what my chances are. Our listing agent spent four hours here this morning. She liked the staging of the house, the lighting, the layout, the rear garden area and the front landscaping. Also, the lake across the street helps. She thinks that it will show exceptionally well. Still, there are other homes in the area which also show exceptionally well. Our home has two advantages over some: (1) We are 45 minutes from the rear entrance to Ft. Bragg---a key component in the market just now. (2) Our house is turn key---it's all been done by us with $80K in renovations. It's a crap shoot---the right buyer in the right place at the right time. We'll see. As for "holding two houses"? Not me. My wife suggested that we move forward and leave ours behind rented. Been there, done that---a disaster. Renters don't take care of houses the same way as I, the owner, would. They also skip out on you, and they often complain about this and that. I'm too old to deal with all of that crap. To answer Jmonroe's question: This was the only house that we considered or were interested in buying. We've known about this house for years and had been in it at times for parties and meetings. We always agreed that if it ever came on the market and we could afford it, we would try to buy it. Until 5 years ago, we could never have afforded it. It finally came on the market at the right point in our lives. Though it is a dream home, I try to remember that it is only a house. If it's meant to be, it will happen. If not, I have a nice house now. We'll let the Guy upstairs help us along this road. To Fezo: What will I do with 4,200 sq.ft.? We'll fill it with all of this furniture that we don't want to sell, left to us by people that we loved. Though it's only material objects, each one does have a memory attached for us. The convertible? I'll leave it parked in the garage for you. ;) Richard
