Re: [DML] Re: Wife orders 5252 to be sold



"Men that sell their cars, and the women that make them do it.  Next  
on Dr. Phil"

I was faced with selling my DMC but opted to take a loan instead.  My  
car is hocked but it's still mine-ish (I do need to pay back the loan,  
apparently).  Secured loans get favorable rates and this is a sub- 
optimal sellers market.
