Vehicles are fetching record average prices of $30,748, up 6.9 percent from a year ago, according to the Detroit Free Press. Part of that increase is tied to consumers piling on the accessories, but there's more to it than that.  Car manufacturers are making fewer cars and there are fewer dealerships selling them. Welcome to the new world where car buyers are in a seller’s market. A couple years back you could wander into a car dealer and get a great deal, now you must do your research.

Want to know what your timeshare is worth?

The Timeshare User Group is a go-to place for those who want to sell, buy or rent a timeshare. If you think your Timeshare is worth big bucks, don't go here, it will probably bum you out. But if you want real information, log on. 

Timeshare scam is really catching on

If you own a timeshare the bad guys know it and you have a target on your back. There is a good chance you will get a phone call from an 'agent' saying they have a buyer for your timeshare. If you are interested they will send you a contract. What you get in the mail is a contract but also a bilk for the 'agents' time. All you need to do is hand over your credit card number. If you fall for this con, the 'agent' will charge your card and you'll never hear from them again. Posted here later today, what your timeshare is really worth.
