The research phase of your tax lien purchase is going to be the difference between hitting a home run-redemption with full interest paid, possibility even a grand slam-getting a property for pennies on the dollar OR owning a piece of environment disaster history, made a parcel of useless land that YOU now get to pay taxes on.

2004 suburban Fortunately for everyone, I do know a little bit about how to save money on a set of tires. It just may not be at the time of purchase. You see, there are hidden costs to proper tire maintenance that you will not see on your installation bill. They hide in gas mileage, tire wear, and service charges.

Find an installer This was very easy for me but don’t take if for granted. I called my local Honda dealer who said they would put them on. I also called a local tire store who also said they would install them (at their normal installation price). I ended up going to the Wal-mart automotive center and they put them on for me. I was told by one dealer who wanted to sell me the tires that no one would put the tires on for me. That was not my experience but your location will make a difference.

Kershaw is fond of their liner lock design, and for good reason. It is a time proven locking system that offers excellent protection for your fingers. They use the super tough lock on the junkyard knife.

Bottom line is just call a couple places and ask if they will put tires on for you if you bring in the tires. They will most likely stipulate that the tires need to be brand new. In my case I had a very easy time because no one carried the tires I wanted locally. Therefore anyone was willing to put them on. If you are buying a tire that the local company carries you may want to check with someone who either doesn’t sell tires as their primary business or who does not carry your tire.

Look Under the hood. Even if you are clueless at what you are looking at, do this anyway. Is the engine clean? Is there mud on the inner sides? What do the battery cables look like? Clean or corrosion built up? Not good if the engine area is not spotless and had a good steam cleaning.
