Into the Red With Luxury
The sticker on the window of a 2006 Range Rover Sport HSE parked inside Rosenthal Jaguar at Tysons Corner lists a few choice selling points: a child seat sensor, voice-activated controls and heated windshield washer jets -- all for an asking price of $59,350. A more comprehensive list for buyers to consider might read something like this: $1,741 for a new headlight, $600 to replace a cracked windshield -- and the instant respect of valets and your little brother's friends. Call it the unconscious cost-benefit analysis of the luxury car buyer. It's a calculus more of us find ourselves making. Luxury vehicle sales

More bends in legal road for Benz case.
The price of your typical Mercedes-Benz CL55 ran about $120,000 just five years ago. And it was the price Akron resident Tom Ulrich paid for his new ride in 2002.

Revolution or Evolution for Law Libraries?
We have read and been told that the old days of beautiful, comfortable, completely stocked law firm libraries are gone and are being replaced by electronic, streamlined "convenience store" special libraries where attorneys go just to look something up quickly. The conventional wisdom is that online, compact libraries are much more cost-effective for the firm. That may be true, but there is one big problem with this scenario: Attorneys and administrators don't always share the same opinion about how a law firm library is used and what types of resources make up the tools of the trade today.

I contacted the dealership and was told the car had arrived with defective factory paint. The dealer had the left rear door and quarter panel repainted at a collision and paint center at a cost of $551.65. I was not told about that
