Selling car by owner, then buying a car by owner
Comments (13)Funny stories about different transactions. Bill_h, I'm glad to read that in the Motor City, it's somewhat of a free-for-all. It just seems appropriate, being the home of the U.S. auto industry. One thing that can work well for selling a car -- if you're replacing it with a new or used car from a dealer -- is what dealers around here call a "courtesy trade." You and the buyer of your car agree on a price as usual, then you and your buyer go together to the dealer where you're buying your new car. The dealer shows your old car on the sales documents as a trade, with the value being the price the buyer is going to pay for it. This saves you on sales tax in many states. The buyer then purchases the car from the dealer for that price. I know of many dealers who will do this for free, as a service to the person buying the car from them. A few charge the buyer a standard "paperwork" fee. They're willing to do it even though they make no money on the sale of the trade because it can help you buy the new car, since the buyer is presumably giving you more for it than the dealer would have....See MoreHow do you warm things up w/o rugs and curtains?

Comments (17)How did a discussion about windows turn into a cultural disagreement and charged political discussion? Left, right or wrong, please save the personal attacks. That said...I have an old (circa 1840s Greek Revival home with 6 over 6 double hung windows. Unfortunately, I had to replace them because they were in just too bad of a shape to restore economically. The closest I found in an affordable stock size and style was Brasco Boston 6 over 6 ADL (authentic divided light) windows (sash replacement kit--sash and balances only, no frame). A local mill was able to make custom wooden storms to match an original storm I found in the barn when I purchased the house. The windows cost a little over $100 each, the storms about $85.00. With a little ingenuity, I was able to make the Brascos fit into the original openings (the size difference was only about a 1/2 inch or so). From the outside, the house looks the same as it did in the photos I found at the local hisrorical society. The only drawback is the balances, which are vinyl with a spring mechanism. I was able to hide those with some creative interior trim work that doesn't look out of place. The net result is my heating bill has dropped significantly and my home is a lot less drafty. In the back turn of the 20th century addition that I had to completely rebuild due to structural issues, I bought pricey (stock) Marvin low E with argon 6 over 6 SDL's (simulated divided light windows--(prices ranging from $500 for a single unit to $1,100 for a mulled unit). The muntons are about an 1/8th of an inch thicker than the Brascos which matched the originals, but not noticeable since they are consistent on that portion of the house. Net net...The Marvins look great, operate smoothly (thanks to the quality balances) and are tight and completely draft free, but expensive. The Brascos look very close to the originals and with the storms seem to be as efficient. If I were in the position of the original poster, I would probably get removable interior storms and only put them in during the coldest months. The good ones don't look too bad and are a lot less expensive than replacing the windows. And my guess is the energy savings would pay back the cost within a few years or so. Perhaps Oberon can do the cost recovery calculation for you....See MoreRomex w/o ground wire? Old dryer circuit question
Comments (7)OK, now I'm even more confused. My parents had an electrician out, and he connected the ground terminal of the receptacle to a nearby water pipe (the washer pipe, on the outside of the wall). As we know, this is not the right way to do it, but this is what the electrician did. There is 240v between the two hots, and 120v between the hots and the ground, so he was satisfied. But the dryer still did not work, so he said they need to have someone come check the dryer. So they called out an appliance person. And he says it's the receptacle, the way it's wired is wrong (neutral to the water pipe). To demonstrate, he manually connected two of the dryer cord prongs (one hot, one ground) to the hot/neutral of a nearby 120v outlet and the motor worked. So, this leads to two questions (just out of curiosity--I know we need to run a new cable). 1. Why does the dryer not work when the neutral is run to the water pipe? 2. How did the thing work before? I still am not sure what the ground terminal was connected to originally, but I can't imagine it was anything other than some plumbing pipe in the wall....See MoreUser
