Should I trade in? or sell privately?
Should I trade in? or sell privately?
I'm going to be getting some money due to a settlement. So I want a newer more reliable car. I am making payments on a 2004 hyundai santa fe My initial loan was 12,000 I've been paying on it for over a year. It is HORRIBLE on gas and I hear hyundai's don't last too long. So I want to invest in a Honda Civic. Preferably a 2006-2007 Honda Civic four door. I shopped around, it's looking to be about 11-12 grand. The trade in value of my car is 7,000 according to kelly blue book. So my question is, do I go to a dealership and trade my car in and just hope they pay off the rest of my loan that I currently have on my car? or do I sell it independently for the private party value (including my transferable two year warranty) -paying off my loan then using that amount (plus my settlement money) to buy and pay off a car at either a dealership or private seller... please, someone help me out here! thank you!

well if you trade your santa fe a dealership will probably take-off for every little defect with the vehicle and things like that but it up to you
2 :
talk to dealer and see what kind of deal you can get try to sell and see if you get any offers
3 :
You will get a lot more for it if you sell it to a private party. The only problem with that is that sometimes it takes time between selling your car and buying the new one - can you be a few days without a car? If no, you might have to trade it in. But sell it outright if at all possible! I'd NEVER trade a car in, personally. Try www.cars.com to sell - it's pretty affordable, and it gets a lot of hits, you are sure to sell your car there. I've purchased at least 2 cars there myself, and sold a couple, too.

I wouldn't trade it in. I would sell it but I don't trust the 2006/07 Honda Civic's too much. Too many reports of engine block problems. http://www.carcomplaints.com/Honda/Civic/2006/engine/ I have a 2001 Elantra with close to 170,000 miles on it and I still get around 34 MPG. The newer Elantra's saves even more gas. Just like with any car, if you take care of it it will last. There are other good gas savers in the same class as the Civic. I would shop around some more.

how could i determine my grandfather's net worth?
how could i determine my grandfather's net worth?
my grandfather is a multimillionaire. he's in the oil business and has made many ridiculously wise investments (developed large lot of santa fe before its boom in the 80's). he's sort of an "old money" type (he's not ostentatious at all) and a reverse snob; he's very frugal, does NOT talk about money (and is very prudent about talking about anything he's associated with that would indicated wealth or snobbery, ie, he's acquainted with high-profile businessmen and politicians but avoids the subject), and generally everything that someone who's nouveau riche is not. This is why I don't know how much his estate is worth because he lives way below his means. his kids (and this grandchildren) don't even know how mcuh he makes (i think its because he doesnt want feel like they dont need to work). how do i figure out how much hes worth (hes not rich enough to be in forbes). somewhere between 1 million and 50 million (a stretch, but he IS in oil). also-he's 82 and still works (for fun).

Why would you need to know this? What difference does it make to you? If you're trying to calculate how much of it you'll end up with, be careful - you don't know who he might leave it to. It doesn't necessarily get split evenly among children or grandchildren - he could leave it all to charity if he wants to.
2 :
It is not your business to know. He obviously does not want you to.
3 :
You already know a lot about his finances, if he wanted you to know more, he would tell you. Don't start counting your inheritance, he could dissolve his holdings and sell off his property before he dies, or give it away, or donate it where he likes. It's more important to enjoy your time with him, and be a loving grandchild.
4 :
Leave the old dudes finances alone and enjoy some fun time with him while he is alive. Take him to see a penguin movie, or a pony ride. Ask him what he likes, ask him to tell you everything that he thinks matters. Learn from him and you will both be richer for it.
5 :
You can't determine his net worth without his complete cooperation. Sounds like you're not going to get it. Your grandfather sounds like a smart and wise man. Too bad his granddaughter is greedy and lazy.
6 :
You could ask him and if he thinks you have a need to know he will answer otherwise he will cut you out of his will as a money grubbing grandchild. Better to ask him how he made his money and learn all you can from him about working and investing before you lose the opportunity. Call him, talk with him, visit him and show a real interest in him and in his life.
7 :
1) Find his properties 2) Find his cars 3) Find his companies (Usually it's just one) 4) Find his portfolio It's going to cost you a lot of money to find all that information. It's not worth it. Just go to Harvard and make your own millions.

What is your reaction to this story Illegal immigrants finding it hard to get work & may leave US?
What is your reaction to this story Illegal immigrants finding it hard to get work & may leave US?
For the first time since he arrived in the United States 27 years ago, Isidro Alvarado, a day laborer in Vista, says he's thinking about going home to Mexico. Alvarado said he is finding it increasingly hard to get work here. He's not alone. A recent study by the Pew Hispanic Center, a research organization, reported that Latino immigrants ---- legal and illegal ---- have been hit hard by the nation's struggling economy, and some are returning home. That's playing out locally. Officials with two North County day labor centers run by nonprofit agencies said they have seen a steady decline in the number of employers looking for workers. Work is one of the main reasons why illegal immigrants such as Alvarado come to this country. Alvarado said he resorted to standing at the corner of South Santa Fe and Escondido avenues in Vista three months ago, when he lost his job at a construction company. He gets odd jobs from homeowners and small contractors moving furniture, landscaping and painting, he said. "This year, it got ugly," Alvarado, 32, said. "Many people are out of work and don't even have money for presents. It doesn't even feel like Christmas." Over the last week, he said, he has worked only one day and is struggling to make ends meet. At about 10 a.m. Tuesday, no employer had stopped to offer work to the more than 50 men standing on the sidewalk, many of whom were illegal immigrants from Mexico and Central America. Gordon Hanson, an economist at UC San Diego who specializes in immigration issues, said the jury is still out as to whether immigrants are leaving the U.S. because of the economy. He said much of the data that is available was culled before the economic crisis deepened late this year. But there are early indications they are leaving, Hanson said. "This is an expensive place to live, and some of the hardest hit areas in the economy are construction, hospitality and retail," industries that rely heavily on immigrant labor, Hanson said. In North County, Interfaith Community Services officials said fewer and fewer employers have come to them looking for workers in recent years. For example, there were 248 employers in October 2005, 137 in October 2006, 78 in October 2007 and 82 in October 2008. Officials noted that October 2007 was an unusual month because of the wildfires, when the office was closed for a few days.http://www.nctimes.com/articles/2008/12/20/news/sandiego/z1d2703d8b7baaa4488257521006b3238.txt I ask WHO CARES???!!!!
