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
One Stop Car Shopping Online
Car buying can be a chore regardless of whether you're buying a new or used vehicle. But now the Better Business Bureau is trying to make the whole experience a lot easier. They're teaming up with J.D. Power and Associates on their website to create a one-stop shopping center for car buying. You can use the J.D. Power information to view their ratings for a vehicle. Then you can check up on a local dealership with the BBB's ratings. Once you've decided on the kind of vehicle you want from the Power ratings, you type in your zipcode and indicate how far

Roadside Distraction: The Trouble With RVs
Mary Lou and Herb Humphries sold their home in Massachusetts last July to travel the country full time in a new, nearly $500,000 motor home. But so far, they haven't gone much farther than the dealership lot. Since they bought the luxury Beaver Patriot Thunder, made by Monaco Coach Corp., they have faced problem after problem, including burned-out fuses, mold, misaligned doors, and a broken alternator that caused a breakdown on the highway last fall. Since buying the motor home last August, the Humphries, who live in the coach, have split most of their time between the dealership and the manufacturer's
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. Today, Ulrich's car is worth about $500,000, although most of that could go to Ulrich's attorneys. For nearly five years, Ulrich has battled Mercedes-Benz in court, contending his luxury sedan is really a lemon dressed in high-gloss paint and a rich interior. This week, the...
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. How does
A new car shouldn’t need repainting before it’s sold
QUESTION: About a month after I purchased a new luxury sedan, it got dinged in a parking lot, resulting in a small dent and chipped paint in the left rear quarter panel. I took the car to a body shop for repairs and learned there that the left rear door and quarter panel had been repaired previously. 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

The Orange County Register, Calif., What’s Your Problem column.
It's no fun getting a lemon for a car. Just ask Marci Shumaker. A few months after buying a Ford Explorer in early 2004, the SUV's engine would rumble and lurch forward seconds after acceleration, she said. Honoring the new-car warranty, the dealer tried to fix it. But a few weeks after getting her car back, the SUV hiccupped, again. The "hesitation and surging" of the vehicle almost caused an...
