In Virginia, GOP double talk on transportation funding

Any major attempt to improve the car transportation network involves new funding and this has been addressed by many GOP candidates. One idea is for the state to get new income for transportation from offshore oil and gas drilling. However there are quite a few problems with this idea. First problem is the federal suspension on offshore drilling on the Atlantic seaboard. Another is that almost no exploration has been done in the area in 20 years. Even if Virginia tried this idea it would be at least five years before they saw any money from it. Another idea to come up with money is for Virginia to find money for transportation is to “reprioritizing” state spending. Some Republicans are saying that if the state won’t help that northern Virginia is going to have to figure out its transportation problem on its own. The plan is that northern Virginia will have to tax itself. The good thing is that the need for new taxes is known. This, however, would kind of shift the political risk for raising taxes from lawmakers in Richmond to local boards of supervisors. The major funding for transportation is gas taxes and the last time they were raised was in 1986. Auto carriers would be would then have to increase the cost of each item transported in order to compensate for the extra costs incurred.

Missouri Begins Fixing Flood-Damaged Roads

In northwest Missouri, the repairing of flood-damaged roads has started. However, transportation officials have said that many of the major highways are still under water and Interstate 29 is going to remain closed for awhile. On Tuesday the Missouri Department of Transportation said that work is being done on both U.S. 136 in Atchison County and U.S. 59 in Buchanan County. The department spokeswoman Melissa Black made the comment that since the flood this was the first time that they have been able to make some progress. Even though there is process being made there are still eighteen main roads that are still covered with water and because the interstate bridge in Iowa is still damaged Interstate 29 is going to continue to be closed as well. October 15th is when the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers believes that Highway 59 is expected to be open but they are not sure how long the construction will take. Even though US 59 has 40-foot holes in sections of the highway, construction shouldn’t take longer than a couple weeks. On the other hand U.S. 136 has an estimated 500-foot gap in it and it is undetermined how long it will take to repair. This flood damage to the highways is going to make it difficult for car haulers.

Avis and Enterprise Stop Leasing Toyotas, Hertz Yet to Make Decision, moving cars, car hauler

The major car rental companies will be moving cars with Toyota decals to the back of the lot, as both Avis Budget and Enterprise are opting to not rent out the Toyotas currently under recall. The peddle problems generally don’t manifest themselves in the low-mileage cars in the rental fleets, but the rental car companies don’t want to be seen leasing flawed cars.

Fleet sales to rental car companies are large parts of car company’s sales. They are also good marketing tools, as people might go on to buy a car they drove as a rental; I recall giving the PT Cruiser a serious look after driving one as a rental car. Having the major rental car companies pull most of their Toyotas will mean that customers won’t get that experience.

If the affected Toyotas get a bad reputation and people prefer not driving them, the fleet cars could be retired early. That would lead to some premature car hauler business taking the old Toyotas in the rental car fleet to auctions or used car lots and bringing replacement cars in.

On the bright side, this might loosen up a tight used car market. The Cash for Clunkers program took a lot of old cars off the market, but there might be a new set of “clunkers” heading into used car lots to offset their loss. I put “clunker” in quotes, for the cars should be just fine once the accelerator issue is fixed, but they may well have a bad reputation if the press of this week is any indication.

Seller's Remorse, KY Hyundai Dealer Reneges on eBay Deal

Online car auctions are a growing tool for selling cars; it’s also good business for car haulers, since winning bids can often come from the other side of the country, if not the world. However, this story on a car auction gone bad comes from my old neck of the woods of Lexington; I can recall driving past the "villain" of the piece, Glenn Hyundai, on Richmond Road as we went to the nearby Eagle Creek library.

Glenn forgot to put a reserve price on a lightly used (5000 miles) Hyundai Genesis Coupe on an eBay auction, and then when the buyer came to Lexington from out of town to pick up his car (sorry, car transporters, no business here), Glenn refused to honor the deal, which was about $3000 lower than normal market value for the car.

The buyer then posted the story online, and Glenn has got a lot of nasty phone calls and e-mails from car enthusiasts for playing hardball on the deal. The buyer is also now in the process of suing Glenn to honor the deal. Glenn seems to be getting more than $3000 worth of badwill out of the deal, but it does point out that you can have seller’s remorse as well as buyer’s remorse in an auction.

In a traditional auction, the buyer takes possession right away and the seller doesn’t have a good recourse if the auction didn’t quite go their way; the car carrier has already come and taken the car away before seller’s remorse can set in. If there is a time-lag between the auction and taking possession of the car, the seller can try to back out of the deal and may be forced into court if they refuse to honor their end of the bargain.

Manheim Pulls Toyotas From Auctions, Fix Found for Toyota, Honda Recalls Fits

Toyota is facing more fallout on its recent pedal issues with significant ramifications for car haulers. Two congressional committees have started hearings on the issue and, more importantly, the National Auto Auction Association has suggested that the affected cars not be sold at auction; the largest car auctioneer, Manheim, has pulled all affected Toyotas from its auctions.

That’s going to mean a drop in auction business and a drop in car transportation until Toyota does fix the problem. The news of today has the potential fix being a metal shim inserted into the friction level so that it does stay stuck. It seems to be an inelegant solution for a company that taught the US car industry how to do quality control, but any solution will be an improvement.

In the meantime, the liquidity of a Toyota dealer’s used car inventory is next to nil, as the option of selling a car at auction if it isn’t moving in the used car lot has been taken away. That might prove problematic for some dealers with a lot of Toyotas on hand and might be the final straw for a few car dealers.

Right in the middle of the critical pile-on over Toyota, Honda has announced that they are recalling 646,000 Fits, who proved to not quite live up to their name; their power window switch controls could allow water in and catch fire, which has happened at least three times. If you’re going to have a recall, this is the time to do it, as Honda won’t face near the bad press in the auto news universe.
