But older vehicles that have acceptable impairments (dings, dents, maybe sheet metal damage, etc.) but aren't leaking fluids and start and sound 'normal'... there are some reasonable buys if you stay patient, even (occasionally) from the high volume sales areas like Raleigh. 

I can't tell fully but it looks like Radiant Heating.They warm fluid and then circulate it in tubing that runs in the floors of the home.

Then wtf transmission starts to give on my vehicle.

Not necessarily looking for a CD that locks up money for 24/36 months, but rather a fluid account that yields better interest than a standard money market that gets 0.02% interest.

Rick Scott signed a bill that goes into effect in a month and a half that changes the states definition of telephone sale to include voicemail transmission, closing up the loophole RVM thrives within in that state.
