Flood Damaged Cars Being Sold With Clean Titles

If Your Planning On Buying A Vehicle Do Your Research And Be Thorough

We?ve all seen the devastating tragic pictures from floods, houses submerged, people in rowboats and cars underwater. The resulting vehicular damage from the flooding is always massive. Because of that, the auction circuit becomes "flooded" with these cars, trucks & SUVs. No one wants to buy a flood-damaged vehicle. But it isn?t always easy to tell, and there are some unscrupulous resellers who will try and palm off a flood car on you if you aren?t careful.

How It Works

According to Tom Torbjornsen, Maintenance Editor with AOL.com, when vehicles are totaled the insurance company pays the insured and issues a "branded" title indicating the type of loss. Either salvage, rebuilt wreck or flood. They take possession of the vehicle then it?s hauled off to an insurance auction. Most buyers represent legitimate businesses but there are also unscrupulous vehicle re-builders who own "chop shops" among the group. These vultures are vying to buy as many formerly premium vehicles as they can at the lowest possible price.

They will rebuild them as cheaply as possible and sell them back into the auction circuit. The auction buyer is their prey. When these vehicles are sold back into the auction circuit, they are generally moved across the country, far from the location of the scoundrels that sold them. Purchased by some dealer who wasn?t good at spotting the telltale signs of a flood vehicle, or is so intent on finding a deal, he doesn?t look closely enough. The flood cars are then taken home to his lot and sold.

So, what is going to happen to a flood damaged car? The vehicle may perform admirably for a few months, and then it slowly evolves into a money pit. The strange part is that the breakdowns are due to what seems to be water contamination! How can this be? Joe Customer lives in the driest section of Arizona! Yet the various problems and issues afflicting the car clearly show that it was submerged in water.

There are several reasons cited for why some people avoid the dealerships for repairs and maintenance. Perceived higher pricing, non-personal service and attention to customers, less recourse in the event of a problem, and technicians paid on a flat-rate basis. You get suspicious and run a title history report on the vehicle. You discover that it was totaled in a flood in Memphis six months earlier. How could this have happened to you or the dealer without anyone knowing? A better question is: "How do you avoid getting into this position yourself?"

Answer, conduct a pre-purchase inspection and title search on any and all pre-owned cars you may purchase, whether the car comes from a new-car dealer selling the car as used, a used-car lot, local mechanic shop that sells cars or a private seller. What turns up in a good pre-purchase inspection? A trained eye can pick out such things as paint over spray indicating body damage repair, frame damage, water damage, and major repairs. The few dollars it costs for the inspection could save you a ton of money down the road.

What Do Trained Technicians Look For When Conducting A Pre-Purchase Vehicle Inspection?

Water Damage: Water lines in the engine compartment, trunk, and doorjambs. They check electrical connections for excessive corrosion, which usually takes the form of a green, crusty substance in the electrical plugs and junction blocks. They look at the seat mounting bolts where the seat fastens to the floorboards to see if they rusty. If so, why? Was the vehicle underwater?

The techs check the carpet for proper fit. If its loose or wrinkled, its possible that the carpet was removed to repair water damage and then re-installed sloppily. They check the oil, power steering fluid, transmission fluid, and differential fluid for a milky color, which can be caused by water mixing with these fluids. A good tech will reach up under the dash and seats to check for mud, fine dirt and silt. The only way dirt of this nature can get into these areas is if the vehicle was submerged in dirty floodwater.

Odometer Tampering: Knowledgeable techs will look at the odometer closely for smudging or slight misalignment. These conditions could be an indication of odometer tampering or rollback while the flood car was being refurbished for resale in an effort to get a higher price at auction.


Conflicts With The Models Equipment List: If the vehicle is supposed to have a specific type of engine or set of equipment, and it does not, the technicians will want to know why. Missing turbo charger? Engine block heater? Disparities such as this are indications that the vehicle may have been rebuilt. Make sure you are educated on the model you are seeking to buy. Know what equipment should be in place and if it is not, find out why.

Check The VIN: Qualified technicians will check the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) closely for any discrepancies between the title, ID tag at the base of the windshield, and the tag on the driver?s door. Any differences could be an indication that the vehicle was given a new VIN.

Engine Oil Dipsticks: These are checked for heavy varnish or black deposits. The presence of these may indicate the engine has been habitually run low on oil and/or the oil has not been changed or the engine run in an overheated condition. In addition, emulsified (milky) oil could be an indication that the vehicle was under water.

Power Steering Fluid: The fluid is checked for color and the presence of metal flakes. Blackened fluid impregnated with metal flakes is an indication of wear in the system. A milky color indicates water is/was mixed with the fluid and the vehicle was possibly submerged.

Automatic Transmission Fluid: This should be red and clean. A brown color with a burned smell can be an indication of a worn transmission. A strawberry milkshake color indicates water is or was mixed with the fluid.

Engine Coolant: This should be "Clean-n-Green" (or orange in some cases). The presence of dirt and a burnt smell may mean anything from neglect to serious engine damage.

How "Title Washing" Works

How does the thief remove the brand from the title that was issued by the insurance company? When an insurance company labels a car "totaled" as a flood victim, the title is branded as a flood loss. The original owner is paid for the loss and the car now becomes the property of the insurance company. It is taken to an insurance auction to be sold to the highest bidder. Chop shops and unscrupulous rebuilders with the intent to restore the vehicle as cheap as possible and sell it at auction buy the flood vehicle at the auction and rebuild the car to running condition.

Next, they run the vehicle over state lines and re-register the vehicle as they go. Sometimes they assign a new VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) to the vehicle. As the vehicle is re-registered over and over, eventually the insurance brand is removed or "washed" clean from the title, hence the term? Once a clean title is issued, the thieves either feed the vehicle back into the auction circuit or sell it outright at a big profit without disclosure.

It gets worse. When they sell it at auction, they will bring along co-bidders to bid against other dealers (both present and online) to drive up the price of the vehicle. The rebuilt clean-titled flood victim is sold at a premium wholesale price (much higher than the thief invested in cost factor and labor), takes it across the country to your local car dealer. You buy the car and in doing so, inherit a laundry list of problems that will come to fruition over time much like a time bomb ticking away ... tick tock tick tock...

Does This Really Happen?

Yes. Back in 1999 a batch of title washed vehicles made it into the Buffalo, N.Y., market. The Mississippi River was the culprit, swelling its banks and, many cars were lost. A large number of them ended up in the Northeast through the auction circuit where they were purchased by dealers and sold to unsuspecting customers. About three months later, these vehicles started dropping like dead flies on the roadways. The investigation uncovered the source of these vehicles, the Mississippi River flood. They had been rebuilt, titles washed and sold to the highest bidder.

In Closing?

To protect yourself from buying a flood victim, rebuilt wreck, rebuilt stolen vehicle, or a salvage vehicle make sure you have a pre-purchase vehicle inspection done by a trusted repair shop and conduct a title history report through a reputable company such as CARFAX. Following these guidelines should help steer you away from a potential flood victim or any other vehicle fraud.

Dennis Rodman sentenced in family court

(AP) ? Flamboyant former NBA star Dennis Rodman was sentenced in family court Tuesday to 104 hours of community service on four counts of contempt for failing to pay child support.

Court Commissioner Barry Michaelson also placed Rodman on three years of informal probation. The sentence includes the condition that Rodman pay current child and spousal support obligations.

"My suggestion is to use your talents as a motivator, as a fine, fine athlete and as a fine person to assist others in need," Michaelson told the retired basketball player.

The sentencing put an end to one of the disputes in the long running case, which began when Rodman's now-ex-wife filed for divorce in 2004. But Rodman still faces additional contempt charges and allegedly owes back child support in an amount that Michelle Rodman's attorneys say exceeds $800,000.

On Tuesday, the towering former star rebounder said he'd do whatever community service was required near his home in Florida, possibly working with children, and did not begrudge his former wife.

"It's all about the kids," Rodman, 51, said of the ex-couple's two children after the hearing. "It does suck the fact that it had to come to this."

Rodman was found guilty of the four counts of contempt last year for child support owed in 2009 and 2010.

Rodman's attorney Linnea Willis said the four charges stemmed from a period of time when he was expected to pay $50,000 a month in child support. That amount has since been reduced ? to $4,500 for child and spousal support ? and Rodman is now current on those obligations, she said.

Rodman ? known for his wild behavior, Technicolor hair and his rebounding skills ? married in 2003. For years, he and his former wife have been feuding over custody and support of their children, ages 10 and 11.

After Tuesday's hearing in family court in Orange County, Michelle Rodman declined comment. Her attorney, Jack Kayajanian, said he was pleased with the judge's ruling and an award of $32,500 in attorney's fees.

The outstanding disputes over back child support and additional contempt charges will be addressed at a hearing on June 22.

Willis has claimed that Rodman owes far less money in back child support than his ex-wife's attorneys allege.

Court documents filed earlier this year indicated that Rodman was "broke." His tax return from 2010 shows he earned roughly $150,000, but his financial manager said he owes significant amounts in back taxes. She also said Rodman's alcoholism has tarnished his image and made it difficult for him to obtain corporate endorsements and other work.

Rodman was a bad-boy star of the Detroit Pistons and won three NBA championships with the Chicago Bulls. He also played for the Los Angeles Lakers, and lived in California's affluent Orange County before moving to Florida. He was inducted into the NBA Hall of Fame last year.

Rodman dated Madonna, was married briefly to Carmen Electra, and gave loud parties that led to frequent run-ins with the law when he lived in Newport Beach.

History of Ear Gauging in Tribal Civilizations | Heavy Karaoke

A study of the history of ear gauging indicates the observe to be as recent as recorded human history. For males, this type of ear piercing has been a symbol of standing, while for women, in addition to being used as means of bodily decoration, it?s additionally been employed to suggest the attainment of womanhood.

Ear gauging that is additionally cited as ear stretching is the stretching of ear lobe piercings to larger diameters than that of the first piercing. It?s a variety of body enhancement or beautification that several young western people adopt to seem ?different? from the same old crowd. However, this is often not a modern variety of body piercing, since it?s been around for as long as archaeological records exist.

In many cases, ear gauging has been used traditionally to point the standing of members of a particular tribe, and in many respects this is often still true these days. Stretched piercings are, and still are, a mirrored image on the individual?s sexual capability and additionally their superiority over different males within the tribe. The larger the stretching, the more necessary the individual.

Ortiz the Iceman could be a prime example of mummies known to have stretched ears. This is often the earliest known example of ear gauging, Ortiz having 7-11 mm ear piercings throughout 3300 BC. it?s been instructed that the stretching of the ears noted in depictions of Siddhartha Gautama, higher called Buddha, might are caused by the burden of the gold jewelry he wore, but this is often mere supposition.

It is supported, however, by the very fact that the Misaim tribe of Kenya and also the Lau and Karen-Padang people of Thailand use this ?gravity? technique to stretch their piercings. Allow us to have a look at the ear gauging practices used these days by various cultures.

A. Morse Tribal girls

The Morse is an Ethiopian tribe where the women are obliged to wear plates in their gauged ears and on their bottom lip. a couple of year prior to her wedding, or at regarding 15 years ancient, a Morse girl?s lip are pierced by her mother and a wooden peg pushed through the incision.

Once healed, the peg is modified for a bigger diameter one. Eventually, the peg is replaced by a plate of clay or wood, and this plate is successively changed for larger diameter ones until the required diameter is attained ? from around 8 ? twenty two cm in diameter (3 ? 9 inches). Once these plates are secured, she receives a better degree of respect than those while not them, and is thought as a ?Bhansanai?.

These lip and ear plates needn?t be worn permanently, but are an expected adornment throughout special occasions like throughout weddings and different celebrations, and after they serve food to men. Today, young girls can typically create their own call on whether or not or not they follow this tradition.

B. the Misaim people of Kenya

The observe of ear gauging has been common among Misaim men and girls for thousands of years. In recent years, however, most young men haven?t been following this tradition, though you will still find many Misaim girls sporting ear decorations made of stones, cross-cut elephant tusks, wood and animal bones.

The original piercing is distributed employing a thorn, sharpened twig or purposely} knife point. Once healed, ear gauging is then distributed by sporting increasingly serious jeweler that pulls the lobe down and stretches the piercing. This is often the normal means of gauging ears within the more primitive cultures, though much Misaim these days will use proper ear gauging techniques, like their own versions of insertion tapers or taper spikes. Beads are a standard variety of ornamentation, though plugs made of bone, tusks and wood are also used.

C. The African Fulani Tribe

Fulani girls from Nigeria and Central Africa tend to use smaller diameter ear gauges, and decorate them using massive gold domes or hoops carrying earrings. A Fulani child will have her ears pierced at around 3 years recent, though they will not be stretched until she is older. The gauges utilized by Fulani girls are comparatively tiny compared to the Misaim and Morse, though the jeweler may be larger.

D. Asian Hill Tribes

Of the assorted hill tribes, the sole two known to observe ear gauging are the Lau from Thailand, {and the and therefore the and additionally the} Karen-Padang (Longnecks) from Myanmar (Burma) and also the Phrase province in Thailand. That latter tribe is best known for their neck rings, providing the appearance of long necks, but each culture believe the ear to be sacred and also the more jewelers they?ll wear on the higher. By gauging their ears, they?re able to wear the utmost quantity of jeweler they believe potential.

E. Mexican and Central yank Civilizations

In Mayan and Aztec society, ear gauging was considered fascinating for males. There are many Mayan representations of men with flares and ear plugs (ear spools) in gauged ears, and also the material used was indicative of the social standing of the wearer. Jade ear plugs were worn by the upper categories, while the remainder would use bone, stone, wood and different materials. In central Mexico, the craftsmanship of the Aztecs is clear within the ear gauging plugs and ornaments of gold and silver, though the lower categories would adorn their stretches earlobes with shells, copper and wood among many different imaginative materials.

Ear gauging has been distributed worldwide, and among different notable areas concerned during this observes are Japan, where the Ainu used ear jeweler made of shells, bone and a ball and ring called Nackara. There are many different cultures worldwide where ear gauging was a part of their life, and even these days many of us regard ear stretching as a fashion statement and how of expressing their own temperament and individuality.

Spanish debt costs spiral as crisis deepens

MADRID (Reuters) - Spanish 10-year borrowing costs neared the 7 percent danger level and Bankia shares hit record lows on Monday after the government, struggling to sort out its finances, proposed putting sovereign debt into the struggling lender.

Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy pinned the blame for the rising borrowing costs - the spread over Germany reached the highest since the euro's launch - on concern about the future of the single currency. He again ruled out seeking outside aid to revive a banking sector laid low by a property boom that has long since bust.

"There are major doubts over the euro zone and that makes the risk premium for some countries very high. That's why it would be a very good idea to deliver a clear message there's no going back for the euro," Rajoy told a news conference.

"There will not be any (European) rescue for the Spanish banking system."

He gave no details of bank recapitalization plans but backed calls for the euro zone bailout fund, which will be in place from July, to be able to lend to banks direct.

Government sources told Reuters Spain may shore up Bankia with sovereign bonds in return for shares in the bank and could use this method to prop up other troubled lenders - moves which would push the country's debts above the 79.8 percent of economic output which had been expected this year.

"This method has been used by Germany and by Ireland in the past, it is perfectly valid," a government source told Reuters.

The source said the ECB had not been specifically informed of the plans to inject state bonds into Bankia. A final decision had not yet been made on which option to take.

Bankia's parent company BFA has asked for 19 billion euros ($23.8 billion) in government help, in addition to 4.5 billion the state has already pumped in to cover possible losses on repossessed property, loans and investments.

Investors increasingly believe weak banks, undermined by the collapse four years ago of a decade-long property boom, coupled with heavily indebted regions, could force Spain to seek an international bailout which the euro zone can barely afford.

LACK OF CONFIDENCE

The premium investors require to hold Spanish government bonds over German counterparts hit a euro-era high at 505 basis points, denoting a lack of confidence in Madrid's efforts to stabilize its finances and ailing banks.

Having dropped to around 4.7 percent earlier this year, helped by the ECB's creation of a glut of three-year money, 10-year borrowing costs are now approaching 6.5 percent and closing in on the 7 percent level widely seen as unsustainable.

Ireland and Portugal were frozen out of capital markets and forced to seek international bailouts soon after their yields topped 7 percent.

"If it goes on for much longer, it just adds to the burden of fiscal consolidation," said Elisabeth Afseth, analyst at Investec in London. "If a large part of that is spent on paying a premium to borrow, it just makes it so much harder."

Spain's trump card is that it has issued well over half the debt it needs to this year, in the first five months.

But that advantage is being eroded.

The government said last week its highly indebted regions faced 36 billion euros of debt refinancing bills this year, way above the previously stated 8 billion. Catalonia said it was running out of options and needed central government help.

A plan to recapitalize Bankia with Spanish government bonds, which the bank could then use as collateral to get cash from the ECB, could add to the government's refinancing problems.

Spain's Treasury insisted it would repay debt maturing without problems.

"We are in a very strong position (to meet debt maturing shortly)," said Ignacio Fernandez Palomero, deputy director of public debt at the Treasury, pointing to redemptions in July and October, when Spain has big amounts due.

Spain's central government and regions need to refinance 117.5 billion euros of debt by the end of the year, while funding a deficit worth 52 billion euros.

It has already shifted more than 55 percent of its debt issuance for the year but about half of the remaining debt maturing in 2012 will have to be repaid in the last three months of the year, making it imperative borrowing costs have been brought down by then.

THUMBS DOWN FROM MARKETS

Bankia parent BFA is set to report the biggest loss in Spain's banking history.

"The figures are much higher than any other release from any other bank," a financial source with direct knowledge of the bank's situation told Reuters.

Despite the 23.5 billion euros rescue cued up for Bankia, its shares tumbled by about 13 percent, pressuring some weaker peers. Its drastic hike in provisions to cover potential losses from repossessed property and souring consumer debt has raised the prospects that other banks may need to do the same.

A wider audit of Spain's banking system should reveal by June what capital gap other banks will need to fill.

"The events at Bankia will reinforce the view that the upcoming external review should identify a significant recapitalization need for the Spanish banking system," analysts at Nomura said in a note, putting a recapitalization of the whole sector at between 50 and 60 billion euros, with the main listed banks requiring an additional 16 billion euros.

Nomura said only BBVA, Santander and Sabadell would not need to strengthen their capital, while the government would need to clean up smaller lenders it has already propped up, such as Banco de Valencia, Novacaixagalicia and Catalunya Caixa.

"Given the current economic and political uncertainties facing the euro zone, this could see additional pressure on Spain to consider using external funds for the bank recapitalisation," Nomura said.

James Rawles Survival Blog Taken Down by DOS Attack

A reader emailed me to say he had been having trouble getting to Survival Blog in the last day or so and sure enough when I went over there was a message saying they were experiencing a DOS attack and not to reload the page.

In April The Epoch Times was attacked in a similar way and the Chi-Coms were suspected.

Recently Rawles site had several articles about government agencies collecting date and in late 2011 there were several posts which used Occupy as an example of civil unrest and societal breakdown. I suspect the latter is the reason Survival Blog was attacked as I have written about Occupy and Anonymous vindictiveness to even mild criticism.

Open Laboratory 2013 - submissions so far

It is now expected by the science blogosphere that I post the full updated listing of all the submissions every Monday morning. This serves as a reminder for bloggers to submit their (and other people?s) posts, and to some extent prevents duplicate entries. But most importantly, it presents a growing listing of some of the most exciting work on science blogs. This is a weekly post where bloggers can discover each other and discover blogs they were not previously aware of. Thus it is also a promotion for all the bloggers involved.

The submission form for the 2013 edition of Open Lab is now open. Any blog post written since October 1, 2011 is eligible for submission. We will close the form on October 1st, 2012.

We accept essays, stories, poetry, cartoons/comics, and original art.

Once you are done submitting your own posts, you can start looking at the others?, including on aggregators like ScienceSeeker.org, Scienceblogging.org and Researchblogging.org.

The 2012 edition can now be pre-ordered at Amazon.com and Amazon UK. You can buy the last five annual collections here. You can read Prefaces and Introductions to older editions here.

Help us spread the word by displaying these badges (designed by Doctor Zen):

strategic planning consultant More Details about strategic planning consultant here.

The most effective solution that most have arrived on when their business had hit a slump is to hire a strategic planning consultant. Every business reaches a point where you - as the boss - are unsure how to further expand anymore. Don't be alarmed with this because even the biggest names out there have hit this snag and pondered on about how to remedy it.

Yes we know, you probably are doubtful of hiring somebody to come up with new angles because how could they? You yourself haven't found the solution so why would you feel like someone else could? The truth is that we - being human - are fixated on our personal facts. For example: If there was a light inside a room that was a little too dim for the area, an electrician would simply advice you to change the bulb to higher voltage. Whist if you ask an artist about his opinion on the matter, he would tell you to darken the walls as to make the light more prominent and illuminating.

Now having a strategic planning consultant to help you see a new light to your business is very helpful. And believe it or not, the biggest companies out there have teams - not one but many - who do these calculations and risk factoring on the shared goal of improving the company.

If you feel like you've hit a snag in your business venture then having someone there to help you progress is never a bad idea. You should seriously consider this option if ever you wish to further maximize the business potential that your company has.

So what exactly is their job? From the word 'consultant' you might get the idea already. They are not there to change your mind on a certain decision you've made. Their only job is to explain the different pros and cons to the choice you have made. But remember that it's YOUR company and a strategic planning consultant is simply there to help - not judge or tell you what to do.

SilverQuest provides consulting services to individuals, businesses of all sizes, non-profit organizations, and government agencies. To learn more about their consulting services visit them at http://www.silverquest.com/.

Google Penguin Update: There Hasn?t Been One Since The First One

As previously reported, there has been some chatter in the forums speculating that Google may have launched another Penguin update. That?s not the first time this has happened since the original one, and it will surely not be the last, but rest assured, there has only been one Penguin update so far.

A Google spokesperson tells WebProNews: ?There hasn?t been an update since the first one.?

It doesn?t get any clearer than that.

Of course, one Googler recently said that Google didn?t even have anything called Penguin, so I guess you can never be 100% sure.

That said, I?m pretty confident that this particular Googler is right. Even the speculation about the possible update has been mixed. Some are attributing traffic dips to the holiday weekend.

There?s also the fact that Google makes changes every day. We should soon be seeing the big list for the month of May.

In the meantime, you?d probably do well to focus on making your site and content as good as they can be, and keep it all within Google?s quality guidelines. Also, try to make sure if you hire an agency to do your SEO, that they?re not engaging in any paid linking on your behalf.

You can still expect Penguin to be coming back around sooner or later.

Prescription sunglasses are an essential little bit of eyewear for those that wear glasses to fix their vision. There are numerous situations where sunglasses are preferable, instead of having the prescription correction inside glasses can impair your power to function.http://www.oakley-sunglasses-cheap.co.uk.

For example, many people require a prescription as a way to drive. These are primarily individuals who require correction for seeing things in the distance, although some farsighted people struggle too and require glasses to drive. Over a bright day, driving without sunglasses can be dangerous and driving without a prescription can be illegal. Therefore, you will be needing a pair of prescription sunglasses.

Other people enjoy being outdoors a lot, which requires sunglasses inside summer or year round for places with bright sun. These people take part in activities the place that the ability to determine clearly is advantageous. For example, those that are partial to cycling could possibly prefer to view where these are going.http://www.2012-rayban.com.

Prescription sunglasses could be acquired in the optometrist or vision center where you still have your original prescription. You will find always places online that offer discounted prices on prescription glasses, regular or sunglasses, however they use a few downsides. First, you might be can not try on the glasses, which could lead to the purchase of glasses that you just find unflattering.

Also, there exists a matter of trust. Would you trust the company online to supply the right prescription and right kind of glasses to you? You can find solutions to mitigate the trust issue, for example, you can read reviews with the company and if you have friends which have purchased prescription glasses online you can ask for his or her opinion.

For most people, however, well-known response is to go back for their optometrist or vision center and order a couple of prescription sunglasses. Keep in mind your a higher level vision coverage through your insurance, if you've vision coverage. A large amount of companies only allow a whole new set of frames every other year.http://www.2012-rayban.com.

If that is the case, you will likely need to stagger your glasses purchases, buying a fresh pair of regular glasses twelve months plus a new couple of sunglasses the next. The only concern using this type of method is if your prescription is changing more rapidly than that, because you could wind up with glasses that aren't correcting your vision sufficiently.

Buying a pair of prescription sunglasses is definitely an essential purchase for a whole lot of people who require glasses to function. However, the method requires some thought and planning. It also requires consideration of one's vision coverage, if you've vision coverage at all. For many people, buying a set of prescription sunglasses without insurance assistance could be a sizable purchase, so put some thought and research to your options before making your purchase.
