In our troubled economy it is just good business to get the most for your money. Excavators are a large and expensive piece of essential equipment for construction. You may have asked yourself if it is better to buy new or used equipment. The most recognizable model, the Caterpillar, also known as the Cat, has been shown as one of the hardiest when well maintained. Next the Komatsu, Volvo, and Hitachi are all top notch machines. As for the JCBs the buzz is on the rise. Now interest in these machines is not limited to commercial use. Any one with a hole to dig would benefit from a mini excavator. Having seen one in action I can attest to their usefulness. But I have to stress that you be properly trained in how to use them because they weigh in excess of 12,000 pounds and can cause serious damage if used improperly.

The JCB mini digger 8014 boast a 1.1 liter capacity engine giving it 11% greater fuel efficiency, always great to save on gas, lower emissions, leave less of a carbon foot print, and a bigger diesel tank, spend less time filling up. The tubular boom design with gives it strength and durability. The design of the frame means less counter weight is needed. Retailing at over a hundred thousand it is always smart to start used. The best way to go about it is to ask questions, check the hours logged and be prepared.

Now as a counter balance is the JCB 3cx mounted on tires and not tracks this rig is better suited for residential work. It has a digging depth of 18 6 it is an excavator and front end loader. No reason to have two machines for one job. It retails at just under a hundred thousand dollars and seems to be the best tool for the job.

Full sized Komatsu, Volvo, and Hitachi brands tend to be on the expensive side. Retailing for over 200,000 dollars. They would make a good addition to any out fit, but where they are nice to look at they are notoriously hard to find parts for should they break, let alone a mechanic. I cannot say much for them but they do cost considerably less used. A 3 year old model costing nearly 75 % less than new one.

Finally we come to the king of hole. The Cat. Easily the most recognizable excavator in the world. Durable and cost effective. Retailing at about 100,000 dollars new and half that used. There is no shortage on parts or skilled labor to fix these monsters. When considering a piece of equipment for a long haul, dont overlook the Caterpillar.

Weather you go mini or full sized make sure you research your machine, sometimes the yellow pages just wont cut it. Go online, spend time looking and find the best deal for you. Every dealer now has their own website but dont be afraid to look at a smaller site.

If you trade a business property or investment for other business or investment property of a similar nature, you need not pay any tax on such transaction.

There are some business transactions where you trade your business property in order to get a more appropriate one.  In such transaction, you need not pay any tax on the gain or claim any loss unless you sell that exchanged property.  There are six main conditions which such a trader must meet in order to be eligible.

1. The property you are trading must be a business property or an investment property.  If the property is a personal property, like your home or your family car, then such trade does not qualify for non taxable treatment.
2. The property which you trade and the property which you get back in exchange must not be for sale.  So if you trade for merchandise, it will not be eligible under this category.
3. The property should not be bonds, stocks, notes, certificates of trust or beneficial interest, including partnership interests.  You can have a non taxable trade of corporate stocks, but under a different rule.
4. The trade must be for a similar property.  So the trade of real estate should be for real estate.  Similarly, the trade of an apartment for a store building or trader of panel truck or a pickup truck can be considered as trader of like property.  However the trade of a machine for a store building cannot be treated as a like property.  Similarly personal property used mainly in United States with the personal property used mainly outside United States cannot be considered as a trade of like property.
5. The trader has a time limit of 45 days.  So the property which you intend to receive must be identified in writing within 45 days from the date you transfer your property.
6. The property which you intend to receive must be received before 180th day from the date you transfer your property in the trade deal or before the due date for filing your tax return, whichever is earlier.

You should not trade the property with your related party.  If you do that there will be special considerations for the treatment of such property.

You can also have a partly non-taxable exchange.  So if you receive some money or and similar property in addition to the like property, IRS treats it as a partly non-taxable trade.  In this case, you are required to pay taxes on the gain which you make out of such receipt of cash or non similar property.  Remember, you cannot claim a loss in such exchange.

The reporting of such transaction – You have to report the trade of like property on form 8824.  If you are able to figure a recognized gain or loss on form 8824, you need to report it on form 4797 or on schedule D of form 1040.

If you are considering buying a used RV, why not get a used RoadTrek?

The RoadTrek is superior in terms of stability as it has a lower center of gravity compared to RVs by other manufacturers. For better weight distribution, the water tanks are located close to the axles. With a much longer wheelbase (compared to the overall length) a Roadtrek provides unsurpassed highway stability. (A Roadtrek 190’s length is only 58% longer than its wheelbase compared to 91% for a 22′ B+ motorhome with a 138″ wheelbase.) It also has excellent suspension, steering and braking capabilities of the chassis.

It has a Chevrolet’s body-on-frame construction, a short rear overhang, “normal” and “towing” transmission modes, and an optional locking differential with external transmission cooler (n/a on 170 and Sprinter) to provide superior towing performance.

As the Roadtrek is small, it is easy to park. As the Chevy based Roadtreks don’t even look like motorhomes, you can avoid RV parking restrictions and park at regular spaces.

A Roadtrek is more than just a family camper. You might even purchase it as a second vehicle for the family. It has 6 forward facing seats with seatbelts. The cost of owning and operating a Roadtrek is far lower than a second vehicle in the driveway AND a motorhome in storage! In addition to that, RVs depreciate slow compared to an ordinary car and Roadtrek RVs have higher resale value compared to other motorhomes.

Thanks to its aerodynamic shape and lower overall size and weight, Roadtreks are not fuel guzzlers. The lowered floor on Chevy models allows a low, sweeping roof. The heat pump (air conditioner & heater) is built into the rear, with only the flush-mounted grills visible from the rear. The refrigerator vent is disguised and integrated into a black louvered grill in the galley window while the fresh water fill is securely located inside a passenger side or rear door. This is to prevent tampering. For superior ventilation, the Roadtreks have large frameless awning windows that not only look better and provide superior view but protects from the rain and reduce wind noise.

Other features that are standard in Roadtreks, may not be found in other RVs. Some include the built-in sewage hose system on the 170 and 190; macerator sewage pump on the 210 and RS; cloverleaf dining table; temporarily enclosed bathroom/privacy area; stand-up aisle shower; lowered floor; built-in heat pump; exterior storage compartments below the floor; under-floor tanks; dual layer foam beds and more.

Considering all these additional features, you may consider to purchase a used Roadtrek RV as your first camper van that is ideal for your domestic vacation.

The purpose of this article is to explain the steps necessary to properly import a car from the United States into Canada. First it must be stressed and overly emphasized that you have to follow the rules exactly. If you do not follow the Canadian and American rules for importing and exporting a vehicle you may well have very expensive auto, truck or S.U.V. south of the border that you cannot import or drive into Canada. Your vehicle may well be stuck in limbo, with you unable to drive it. In that case you will either be forced to sell your vehicle, at cost and inconvenience to yourself, to a person in the United States. It cannot be overemphasized that you have to do proper research, check and either recheck the rules, and then follow the auto importation rules exactly and to the letter.

Many Canadians have saved big money importing cars from the U.S. into Canada. Do not let the rules scare you. Simply and exactly follow the rules. Again if not sure, ask. It’s only a phone call – most likely toll free or an email away.

You may have heard many, if not dozens, of mythical stories of Canadians who saved vast amounts on car purchases by importing cars from the U.S. into Canada. You may have seen or heard similar stories on your local TV. Or radio station programs. You may have read of such savings of consumers in the columns of your local newspapers. However when either your local car dealer of manufactures are asked the answers you receive are not the same, if not downright scary. The savings (except for the highest end luxury cars) are minor. The cars are not the same. The manufacturers will not honor new car warranties on new cars bought in the U.S. and imported / shipped into Canada. These answers are either false or mistruths taken out of context.

You will save a fair chunk of cash. This is true in many, if not most cases. All that matters in pricing out your car is what it costs delivered to your door – with all taxes and charges included. Even after including all of the Canadian taxes and extra costs involved, in most cases, you will save a bundle. To the largest degree currency fluctuations have made this so. The rise in the Canadian dollar has made this so. It may also be argued that the retail car industry in the U.S. is much more competitive than in Canada reducing prices by competition. In terms of warranty coverage it is true that manufacturers do not cover warranties on U.S. cars imported into Canada. However the vast majority of car makers do cover the warranties. It’s up to you to do your homework. Again either phone or email. It’s always best to get the answer in writing.

You may consider that it is wrong, unethical or immoral to import a U.S. car into Canada. True most people like to be loyal to their local merchants. However under the NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement) cars are shipped back and forth among the NAFTA trading area (the U.S.A., Canada and Mexico) without extra tariffs and taxes. This has benefited the car makers greatly – allowing for reductions in costs due to specialization of factories and economies of scale. Before NAFTA each car maker has different factories in each separate country manufacturing select models and car lines. With NAFTA that can be scaled back to only several, larger and more efficient factories – each producing a certain model or car line for the entire NAFTA trading areas. If the car makers can benefit from the economies of scale of NAFTA why not you as a consumer? You cannot have your cake and eat it too.

Interestingly enough the humour is that same car, which you are importing into Canada, May very well, have been manufactured in Canada, for the North American car market. You are in effect repatriating that vehicle home. If the car is not made in Canada, but in the U.S. or Mexico, the same person and people will have their jobs regardless of whether you purchased the car in Canada or in the U.S. The one person or organization that gets left out of the loop is your local car dealer. True. However, it may be surprising for you to discover, that most of the profits of a car dealership are from service work of your vehicle, not the sale. In this day and age of computerized, technically difficult to repair automobiles, who are you going to take your car to for service, both warranty and non warranty related. The answer is that your service work, in most cases, will be done by your local dealer, whom you wish to support.

The basic rules in importing a car into Canada are as follows. First consult the Government of Canada site – Officially the “Registrar of Imported Vehicles “, also called Riv. This can be done by phone, email or both.

Transport Canada issues a comprehensive “List of Vehicles Admissible from the United States”. This is your initial bible to consult – both in terms of admissibility and inadmissibility. Note that certain model years may have different rulings. It is up to you to do a thorough a complete job of research. Again phone, email to check and recheck if you are unsure or doubtful. .

It is wise to check with the manufacturer of the car in terms of warranty coverage. If coverage is not available perhaps third party coverage can be purchased, if the overall cost savings warrant it.

Before exporting the car from the United States, you will have to fax U.S. customs the relevant documents 72 hours in advance. Next you will have to follow the procedure outlined at the Riv site of “What to do at the Border”. This involves documentation, the paying of certain fees and taxes and within a set time an “Imported Vehicle Inspection” and certification by an approved automobile service agency. If modifications need to be done to bring the car into line with Canadian standards, these must be done. Certification again must be done by the approved repair facility.

Lastly remember that cars manufactured within the NAFTA trade zone do not pay extra duty. However extra duties on cars manufactured outside the U.S., Canada or Mexico may be demanded. By Canada Customs. Again it is your responsibility to do your homework.

This is a basic explanation of the steps required to import a car into Canada from the U.S. There may be additional steps involved, in your specific case. Rules may change over time, either overall or in specifics.

It cannot be overstated that you must do a thorough and complete job of research – either by phone, email or both.
Written documentation is most preferential over verbal. Check and recheck. If in doubt phone or email.

At this point in time, many many Canadians have purchased a car in the United States and imported that vehicle into Canada. These smart consumers have found that the cost savings on purchasing their vehicle well outweigh their investments in time, efforts and extra work involved.

This article will explain the basics of how car dealerships determine the value of a trade-in. It’s based on my personal experience working in several car dealerships, however cannot be guaranteed to be the end all answer to this question.

In 99% of car dealerships:

The following factors are used to determine the ACV of a trade in. ACV stands for Actual Cash Value.

• Vehicle Mileage
• Interior Condition
• Exterior Condition
• Tire Wear
• Cost of Reconditioning or “Recon” for Sale at Auction or On the Lot

Dealers used what is called the “Black Book”, which is a weekly publication that gives dealers averages of what vehicle makes and models are currently selling for at auction. Kelly Blue Book is RARELY ever used because it always shows a higher value. NADA (National Auto Dealer Association) car value guides are used in some dealerships.

99% of dealerships across the nation, the Black Book is used and is not a publication that is sold to the public. Values are based on “Clean Book”, “Average Book” and “Rough Book”… dealers use these as a guide when estimating ACV for a vehicle.

Excess mileage “deducts” are subtracted from the value. Also, dealerships rarely ever add anything to the wholesale value of a vehicle for additional options, such as Aluminum wheels, luggage racks, CD players and so forth. Although consumers would like to think that the extra add-ons that they purchased will positively impact trade-in ACV, it rarely does.

Trade In Allowance

Once the dealer has determined the ACV or Actual Cash Value of the vehicle, they then take that number and determine how much of it they will actually allow you. Sometimes, a dealer may “holdback on your trade” and offer you less for it than it is actually worth. The difference becomes profit that is credited to the new car department as it is the used car department that actually “buys” the trade-in to be resold.

Negotiating the amount that the dealer is allowing you for your trade-in can make a big difference. In many cases, a dealer will “holdback on your trade-in” one to two thousand dollars or more.

Note: It is important that you not reveal to the dealer what you owe on your trade-in before they give you a figure as to what they are going to value it at. Sometimes, if you have equity in your trade, the dealer will not be as “generous” when figuring the ACV.

Auto parts may be bought directly from a manufacturer or from a dealer in parts. Both methods involve the sale of new or reconditioned parts that may replace old or non-working parts in a vehicle. However, sometimes these parts are fairly pricey. If you buy parts from a manufacturer, the additional cost of shipping, if the manufacturer is not within the same area may be to your disadvantage. Also, when parts are purchased from a parts merchant the prices may be subject to mark ups from the reseller. For this reason some individuals prefer to use a salvage yard to get used parts. This is especially true when the part that is needed may be too costly to purchase new. Many salvage yards are dedicated to providing a customer friendly atmosphere by instituting showrooms and computerized inventory systems.

In a salvage yard the parts form a car may be retrieved well before there is a need. Trained mechanics will normally assess the vehicles that are brought in to see what useful parts remain. Normally the first parts that will be removed include the bumper, side mirrors, rear-view mirrors and headlights. Once these are retrieved, the larger more viable parts are analysed and taken out if they are usable. These parts will then be placed in a display area where customers can view the parts and buy them instantaneously. In some cases there may be a “you buy it, you pull it” policy in which the individuals will have to take their own personal mechanics to remove the parts. However many salvage yards in recent times will be more accommodating and will, as previously mentioned, have already taken out the working parts and put them on display.

Colorado has many salvage yards that in operation. These can be located in a local directory or online where many salvage yards are advertised by state.

When you finally make that decision to buy a four-wheeler, you have to be careful that the excitement you feel knowing that you will soon have your own ATV to enjoy doesn’t make you make hasty decisions.  Like any vehicle purchase, you have to do some shopping and develop some wisdom about the ATV marketplace so you use your limited funds to get the best four-wheeler for your money.  Like any product on the market, there are some great deals out there and some outstanding makes and models of four wheelers.  But there are some “lemons” too and its up to the consumer to know the difference and to find just the right ATV for their needs and for their money.

The first priority when you start to shop for an ATV is to know your four wheelers.  Get to know the marketplace, the engineering and what to look for in a great all terrain vehicles.  This is just good common sense and it will help you narrow down the field of products you are willing to accept as you create your “short list” of four wheelers you will narrow your search to.  There are a lot of criteria to help you create that short list.  The dominant names in ATV engineering no doubt have the lead because they got to the front of the pack for a reason.  Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha and the rest are big companies with big advertising budgets.  But being big also makes them capable to putting the kind of quality design and manufacturing standards that will deliver a quality ATV to the market.

To narrow down which ATV to buy and where to find the one you want for sale, you must look past the great exterior design that makes a four-wheeler look great.  Yes, owning a “hot” ATV is a part of the fun of making this kind of purchase.  But the real test of your four-wheeler will come when you put it to work.  When you take it into a race or take it off road for some exploring or to perform some serious work, that is where the “guts” of the machine will mean a lot.  Yes, it is good for a four-wheeler to look great.  But for the money you are going to spend, it not only has to be a workhorse when you first take it out but it must continue to perform for years to show that it was a quality purchase in the first place.

By entering the marketplace knowledgeable about what ATVs will live up to your expectations, you then can use classified ads, dealerships and the internet to find good deals for the four-wheelers that pass your requirements.  Then simply extend your scrutiny and your attention to detail in finding the right ATV to the particular vehicle you pick out.  By having it checked out by your mechanic and learning the history of the ATV, you can assure you are buying a four-wheeler that can live up to your high expectations.  Your insistence of knowing what you are buying will pay off big time when you drive off in the four-wheeler of your dreams and get out there to really have some fun with your new ATV.

Things You Should Know Before Buying 4 Wheelers Parts

General Motors’ strategy going forward is to concentrate on bolstering four brands – Cadillac, GMC, Buick, Chevrolet – while shrinking Pontiac and possibly doing away with Saturn. Saab and Hummer remain on the market, with the former not an important part of the automaker’s American marketing plans. GM’s Fritz Henderson, Chief Operating Officer for the automaker shared GM’s restructuring plans at a recent Automotive News World Congress meeting which included a discussion on brand marketing.

Essentially, Cadillac, Buick, GMC and Chevrolet will be the core brands for GM, especially as pertains to selling cars in the North American market, the company’s home base. Both Saab and Hummer have been for sale for some time, with GM Henderson acknowledging that the car company is working with the Swedish government to find an investor. Three quarters of Saab sales are in the European market with just a small number of cars sold in the states each year.

Hummer remains a mystery as the automaker has twice set deadlines for when its specialty off road vehicle brand would be sold and has twice missed those marks. Thought that a Chinese or Russian company would scoop up Hummer have surfaced, but given the brand’s niche and very low demand, finding a buyer remains a challenge.

Pontiac’s role will be diminished, with GM retreating the brand back to just one or two models. Over the past two decades, management has been uniting Buick, Pontiac and GMC dealers to one dealership,  which would make the change much easier and less costly than closing down the brand altogether. After shuttering Oldsmobile in 2003, GM cannot afford to pay out hundreds of millions of dollars to do the same for Pontiac.

Saturn has been one of the biggest disappointments for GM. Initially launched as a separate car company in 1985 with the first cars rolling of a Tennessee assembly line in 1990, Saturn quickly drew praise for truly being a different kind of car company, one whose owners embraced the compact S models. For the past  decade, Saturn has been part of GM’s brand structure and has benefited from a number of new models. Still, Saturn’s identity remains clouded despite its blossoming alliance with Opel where the two brands share a number of car lines.

GM still is looking to get an additional share of the bail out money promised late last year. At that time,  now former President George W. Bush allocated funds to GM and Chrysler in a bid to keep the two automakers afloat. Part of the loan deal has required that GM restructure, hence its new found emphasis on full out supporting just four brands.

Up until now satellite TV programming was simply out of the question for big rig drivers for a number of reasons, so it really was something that RV owners installed in their vehicles. To start with a big rig just couldn’t have something as big as a satellite dish on the roof of their cab unless it was aerodynamic which a satellite dish is far from being.

Secondly the last thing that a driver needs when he pulls in for an over night stop is one more thing on the truck to hassle with and a satellite dish has to be set up and then taken back down and in bad weather it s real job. Thirdly a big dish sitting up on the roof of a cab is just a snag waiting for a place to happen and the last thing a driver needs is the roof of his cab tore open miles and miles from home in rainy weather.

If there is anyone that craves great entertainment though it is the long haul truck driver and that is why they will tolerate the uncomfortable seats in the TV lounges at truck stops just to watch some good satellite TV programming. Now with Mobile Dish from Dish Network satellite TV programming is available for big rigs and there is no satellite dish required at all.

Mobile Dish uses a state of the art low profile and streamlined antenna that hugs the roof of the vehicle to receive the Dish Network programming. This new antenna also never has to be touched again after it is installed, so it works just like any other antenna works and it gets perfect reception every time.

There are currently one-hundred channels available with the Mobile Dish system with more planned on being added in the near future. There are no snags catches or hassles with Mobile Dish and it works just like the satellite TV programming that is received in a home. You simply pick up the TV remote and point and shoot and it’s just that simple.

The really great thing about Mobile Dish from Dish Network is that it receives perfect satellite TV programming while the rig is rolling down the open highway and that’s anywhere in the continental U.S. For team drivers this means that while one man is driving the other can be relaxing in the sleeper watching great satellite TV programming, so he can be relaxed, alert and fresh when it’s his turn to take over behind the wheel.

Mobile Dish also has a great weather channel that you can refer to this winter and with a weather channel on a TV screen you can actually see the satellite pictures of the weather you are going to be encountering. Also, you will be able to see the news pictures of backed up traffic if there is any and any snow fall on the roads. This can be a real money saver, because when a driver is on the road, time is money and every decision regarding delays has repercussions that are felt in the wallet. If you are a long haul driver then Mobile Dish is definatly something worth looking into.
