GM’s last fatal mistake Bob Morris @ 08:34 Category: Unfiled; There’s a time bomb set to explode in the auto leasing market. All those SUVs and trucks that no one wants now will be coming off lease and it’s expected their residual value will be $6,000 less per car than originally projected. This means leasing companies will eat billions in losses for several years to come. General Motors owns 49% of car finance company GMAC.

People used to wonder where the tipping point was for gasoline. Unleashing my massive intellect, I’ve calculated it’s approximately $4 per gallon. Four bucks is the point at which people stop driving, airlines start charging extra to lose your luggage, and Hummers lumber uneconomically into that long oil-soaked night. It just so happens that gas started to cost a bit more per gallon than milk in the middle of a Presidential campaign.

California has some of the most stringent laws when it comes to auto insurance. It is indeed very important for one to have car insurance if you intend to drive on California roads.

You can even request quotes from all the different companies before you make your decision of which company to go with.

Democrat Barack Obama said Thursday he will not take public money for the presidential election, a politically risky move that would allow him to raise millions of dollars more than Republican rival John McCain, but also exposes him to charges of hypocrisy. Obama had pledged early in his campaign to take public funds if McCain did as well. Candidates who accept public financing cannot raise money from donors for the general election campaign. But since then, Obama’s campaign has shown greaThinking about Car Insurance
Thinking about Car Insurance It is indeed strange how some people contemplate on whether they ought to buy car insurance or not! To me it isn’t a matter to consider, there is absolutely no doubt that we all need our cars insured. Car insurance just saves us a whole deal of worries and the spending of our hard earned money. If we have auto insurance in place, we can be safe in the thought that if ever we are in an accident situation, the one thing we need not have to worry about is the fixing o |
