Someone that has a bunch of kids or is involved in a bunch of activities would definitely benefit from having a hybrid, but then they are docked for buying one? Is the cost really more to produce these cars?

But seriously, if the country wants to conserve gas then you really shouldn't have people driving these sorts of vehicles around for recreational purposes. But I don't endorse any law that would force such a thing, or ban power-boating. People have the freedom to buy what they want and use fuel how they want as long as they can afford it. The market will work all on its, with increasing prices encouraging some to give up some of these uses.

Replying to: lemko (Apr 28, 2008 12:12 pm) I have looked at $500k and up fixers both in CA and Hawaii. When you take into consideration that when we had the bad rains a few years ago and several homes in Laguna Beach slid down the hill. It is put into perspective what the land is worth when those lots sold for as much as $27 million. So the best thing to do is buy up those homes in the hood when the prices are low. Fix them up and make a killing on the next housing boom... Many folks were booted out of their rentals in the slums of San Diego, when they were sold for huge prices. |

Replying to: texases (Apr 28, 2008 12:37 pm) I doubt this is ever the case, I would have to see the facts on that. I don't know of any company selling products for less than what they make them for... Asking price is retail. This inst what the dealership pays for it. Your trying to tell me that a vehicle retailing for $25k is costing the manufacture more than that? They would be loosing their butts on these cars and there wouldn't be any point in producing them.
