SnowMobile Information| SnowMobiles

i have a 2000 Ski-doo MXZ 600 and i want to clean the chain case and change the lube, ive heard everything from motor oil to gear lube being used. i have motor oil, auto trans. fluid, and hydraulic fluid. which is the best choice?

I think I tried to answer your question on your expansion chamber and muffler. For a chain case I would use synthetic gear lube. It would flow easier at low temperatures yet offer the linked chain in the chain-case an extra measure of EP (extreme pressure) protection from the chain- case sproket-gears. Another possibly would be most any brand of low viscosity racing oil. Joe Gibbs, Mobil1, Quaker State, Pennzoil, Brad Penn and Valvoline make specialty racing oil’s with high concentrations of zinc and phosphorus which are high EP additives. If you want very fluid thin oil yet have extremely good metal to metal protection this would be it!

The past 18 months has been horrible financially for our family. My husband went from having a $55000/yr job, to being laid off and barely bringing in $1400 a month. I was a student just finishing 3 years of university. So, I have student loans and other stupid debt (personal loans for a laptop, school supplies not covered my student aid, misc stuff, rent).
We have 2 kids- a 7 yr old and a 2 yr old.
In the past 18 months, we have lost our home due to foreclosure, lost our car due to reposession, lost our savings due to my husband loving to spend money on things (a boat, a trailer, a motor, a snowmobile, etc).
I have a lot of "little" debts on my credit report- unpaid utility bills, student loan default, old cell phone bills, defaulted personal loans, etc. My husband and I had seperated for a while, and while seperated, it came down to paying rent & food or the "little bills". Now those little bills have reappeared to bite me in the ass.

My husband and I have been back together for about 6 months. We had to rent a house, and buy a cheap ($500) car to drive until we get back on our feet. Also, the trailer & boat got sold, as did the snowmobile. We used that $ to catch up on current bills, not to pay down debt.

In total, we have about $30000 of debt- that includes consumer debt, student loans, those "little" bills on our credit reports, and a personal loan (which we took out to try to stop the foreclosure on our house).

We have such awful credit. I am beyond stressed out, and have been handing out resumes like crazy, and searching for a job (not easy in a small small town!). My husband has a new job (one month) that pays $61000 a year (before taxes). He brings in about $2500 a month, I bring in about $340 a month.

Here is how our bills break down per month…

Rent- $1300
Utilities (heat hydro water) approx $300
Car insurance $100
Car gas $150
Groceries $350
Phone/Cable/Net $100
Pets $40
Diapers, wipes, toiletries $50
Debt Repayment $1100 (to make minimum payments)
Household (cleaners, repairs, etc) $40
Medications $100

Our loans are:

$11000 personal loan
$8400 student loan
and TONS of "little" bills that have sat on our credit for too long and need to be GONE- they total about $7000

And since they took our car, do we still need to pay them for the payments we missed while we had the car, and what happens to that loan, since it was reposessed?

We are seriously thinking about declaring bankruptcy to get all this sorted out. My thinking is- if we declare bankruptcy, then all of that is gone, and it will be easier to build our credit without having to play catch up, when our monthly cash crunch is dire as it is.

How does bankruptcy in ONTARIO CANADA work? We have no assets, but we desperatly want to clean up our credit and rebuild it so we can start fresh, and do things right this time… help!!

Go see a Credit Councillor ASAP.

I’ve never had to use one, but several people I know have had to…one a co-worker who was resolved to living out her bad debts. (Some her fault, some not.)

After she saw them and they put her on a scehdule, she actually started having funds left at the end of the month again…something she’d not had for quite some time.

Part of what the Councellors do is to teach you to deal with it, and they also negotiate on your behalf to obtain lower rates on your debts, and to help you by arranging a consolodation loan. Just make sure you avoid the ones that want cash up front.

If you declare bankruptcy…nothing is gone, and you have a black mark on your credit history for 7 years that means you’ll pay one hellova premium on any loans and credit.

Good Luck!

Changes Coming to the Canadian Automotive Market

The Canadian vehicle market has taken on an identity of its own over the last 15 years. Unlike their American counterparts, Canadians typically took the avenue of finding a new vehicle as appose to buying previously owned. This was by far most apparent in the automotive sector where 3 out of every 4 cars sold were considered “New.” However, today brings uncertain times with a declining and uncertain economy every industry has felt the effects.

            The Canadian Automotive sector is seeing quite the transformation in that the popular leases of the past are being phased out by franchised dealers in favour of financing. GMAC Club and Chrysler Financial have discontinued leases throughout North America. Ford Motor Credit hasn’t exactly taken the same approach; they have instead increased their lease rates to the point that no one could even afford them. We must ask ourselves why? For starters, dealerships have seen too many lease terminations due to missed payments and in turn have now become stuck with an abundance of unexpected off lease vehicles in their inventory. Even more pressing is the difficulty that dealerships are having in trying to sell any cars in these scarce economic times. Furthermore, from a funding standpoint, money isn’t as readily available due to the deteriorating credit of the finance arms and their parent automakers.  This has made for a very difficult situation in the automotive sector and has instantly transformed the Canadian automotive market. In the U.S.A. one out of every four cars sold is used, Canadians should begin to anticipate similar sales ratios.

Research into the Canadian consumer has provided some interesting findings:

• Canadian consumers tend to be more risk averse than their counterparts in other markets.
• They are also more cost-conscious, with monthly payments a major driving factor behind purchase decisions.
• They tend to keep vehicles longer than in the United States, resulting in a less active used vehicle market.

The economy has initiated a dramatic, yet necessary change. Canadians will no longer be able to afford monthly payments and as leases conclude over the next 3 years an abundance of consumers will have to turn to the used vehicle market to find a vehicle they can readily afford.

Consumers now more than ever are shopping online for previously owned vehicles. Selection has been key to shopping in the past; however today new services exist the help buyers find the vehicle that promises to be right for them. The market, which was dominated by the Auto Trader brand has taken on new life with a company dedicated to finding potential buyers quality used vehicles. Using the provision of information, Vehicle Gateway Corp. has launched vehiclegateway.com to introduce an interface that meets the needs and wants of today’s consumers. Vehicle Gateway has been designed around the provision of information; private sellers’ and dealers’ will now have to include Vehicle Identification Numbers, Certification status, full descriptions, condition reports, multiple photos, video’s allowing buyers to hear vehicles operate as well as provide accident history and include reasons for selling the vehicle. This abundance of information will allow users to decipher through an abundance of ads to find the vehicle that not only meets their needs in terms of type, make, model or year, instead buyers can now go beyond this in finding the vehicle that’s past and present meets up to their respective standards.

In turn, vehiclegateway.com anticipates weeding out those vehicles of inferiority, sellers’ will become nervous to advertise with Vehiclegateway.com for fear that the information provided would counteract the sale of their vehicle(s).  Now inexperienced buyers will not only know the questions to ask, but answers will already be provided. This ultimately empowers the consumer and therefore makes for a more honest and less apprehensive buying process. In addition to the information provided, tools such as CarFax’s Vehicle History reports provide full disclosure for prospective buyers and ultimately will live consumers with greater piece of mind when it comes down to the sale. In America, Vehicle History Reports are said to be in over 75% of pre-owned vehicles transactions. With even an even more risk averse nation combined with the anticipated growth of the secondary vehicle market, Vehicle Gateway Corp. believes that tomorrow’s transaction will likely include the use of vehicle history reports. Vehicle Gateway truly provides “Information you need. Vehicles you want.”
