Automobile Pricing –> Big Cuts

Posted on January 20, 2009 by JMarsden| Leave a comment

I was just pricing cars today to see how much the economy has changed, and I got a few shocks.  When it comes to automobiles there usually isn’t much room to play with price.  It appears that even the automobile makers have their limits on when they have to run promos, and discounts.

I bought a Kia Sorento for my wife for @$12000 from a used car dealer.  The car had low miles, and still had the warranty.  I priced a brand new car both locally, and through Yahoo Autos, and saw that I could get a NEW Kia Sorento for just a little bit more.  When we purchased her car the price was lower than anyone could offer for the same year, and @ mileage.

This economy has got to turn around, or a lot of us are going to be in some serious trouble.

Check out the pricing of cars for yourself…

I recently got notified of a site that would have come in handy back a while ago when my family decided it was great to play practical jokes on me.  123Spoof.Com offers a service that you can change your caller-id, or your voice, and a few other things.  I just ordered one to give a full test of its capabilities.  I saw their tv ad a few nights ago, and it looks like it has some definite possibilities.  Here is a offer link to them if you want to try it out.  If you do, please comment here about your experience.

Disney Site “Re-Design”

Posted on January 20, 2009 by JMarsden| 1 Comment

While I am not one for major change, Disney needed to do something with their website.  It was getting old, and wasn’t as informative as it seems now.

The site now shows more information for the rides that are in the parks.  For example the rides that have “Pal Mickey”, “Rider Swap”, and other options are now showing those options on that rides individual page.

The site has photos, and videos of a lot of the things that you will find on their site.

Check out http://disneyworld.disney.go.com for the Disney World site.

What do you think of the site rehab?
