There are few things in life that bring as much angst as it does excitement than buying a car. And, in this day and age of tighter budgets the debate rages on in our heads over whether it’s better to buy a new car vs used car. We’ve all heard the argument of driving a brand new car off the lot and immediately losing thousands of dollars of value through depreciation, which is an awful lot of money for that new car smell.
On the other hand, we’ve heard plenty of nightmare stories of used cars turning into money pits. We buy our cars for their safety as well as the pleasure they give us, but we also want to make sure we are getting the best value for our money. ![]()

It’s almost uncanny how this all works. The violence and debauchery of the misguided and self-indulgent Occupy movement has peaked just in time to draw all of the media attention away from the biggest problem both the 99% and the 1% face in the immediate future.

Yuan ‘Substantially Undervalued’- Latest U.S Treasury Report
The latest report from the U.S Treasury states that the Yuan is ‘substantially undervalued’. The artificially suppressed valuation of the Chinese currency has been a bone of contention for a while now for manufacturers in the U.S. Their grievance is more than justified as they continue to steadily lose potential customers to the Chinese manufacturers who make cheap substitutes for U.S. produced wares available in the market.
