Carolyn Anne Berry holds a PhD in Community Psychology from New York University. Her current research focuses on the health and health care of low-income children and families, and includes both investigator initiated research and program evaluation. She recently concluded a five year grant from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) entitled Social Factors and the Environment in Pediatric Asthma that is investigating racial/ethnic disparities in childhood asthma. She conducting an outcome evaluation of the SchoolFood Plus Initiative, a program designed to enhance the nutrition of children in the NYC public school system. Dr. Berry and Dr. Dennis Smith are in the final stages of a process study of WeCARE, a recently implemented program designed to provide specialized assessments and services to that portion of the public assistance population that is unable to work immediately. That program and study are funded by the NYC Department of Social Services/Human Resources Administration. Dr. Berry is part of a Wagner team working on the national evaluation of "Expecting Success", a demonstration project funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to address disparities in cardiac health care at 10 hospitals with large volumes of racial and ethnic minorities.
Dr. Berry regularly teaches Program Analysis and Evaluation
This course serves as an introduction to those evaluation tools most commonly used to assess the performance of publicly funded programs, in both the public and private sector. Topics include developing and assessing program theory, implementation and process assessment, methods of impact evaluation, and efficiency analysis (cost-benefit and cost-effectiveness analysis). The focus is on critical analysis and understanding of both the underlying programs and their evaluations.
Many policy problems require governmental leaders to forge vast networks beyond their own hierarchical institutions. This essay explores the challenges of implementation in a networked institutional setting and incentives to induce coordination between agencies and promote quality implementation. It describes the national evaluation of the Assuring Better Child Health and Development program, a state-based program intended to increase and enhance the delivery of child development services for low-income children through the health care sector, using Medicaid as its primary vehicle. Using qualitative evaluation methods, the authors found that all states implemented programs that addressed their stated goals and made changes in Medicaid policies, regulations, or reimbursement mechanisms. The program catalyzed interagency cooperation and coordination. The authors conclude that even a modest level of external support and technical assistance can stimulate significant programmatic change and interorganizational linkages within public agencies to enhance provision of child development services.
We sought to determine whether low acculturation among Mexican American caregivers protects their children against asthma. Methods. Data were obtained from an observational study of urban pediatric asthma. Dependent variables were children's diagnosed asthma and total (diagnosed plus possible) asthma. Regression models were controlled for caregivers' level of acculturation, education, marital status, depression, life stress, and social support and children's insurance. Results. Caregivers' level of acculturation was associated with children's diagnosed asthma (P=.025) and total asthma (P=.078) in bivariate analyses. In multivariate models, protective effects of caregivers' level of acculturation were mediated by the other covariates. Independent predictors of increased diagnosed asthma included caregivers' life stress (odds ratio [OR]= 1.12, P=.005) and children's insurance, both public (OR=4.71, P=.009) and private (OR = 2.87, P=.071). Only caregiver's life stress predicted increased total asthma (OR = 1.21, P=.001). Conclusions. The protective effect of caregivers' level of acculturation on diagnosed and total asthma for Mexican American children was mediated by social factors, especially caregivers' life stress. Among acculturation measures, foreign birth was more predictive of disease status than was language use or years in country. Increased acculturation among immigrant groups does not appear to lead to greater asthma risk.
We examined racial and ethnic disparities in the total potential burden of asthma in low-income, racially/ethnically heterogeneous Chicago schools, Methods. We used the Brief Pediatric Asthma Screen Plus (BPAS ) and the Spanish BPAS , validated, caregiver-completed respiratory questionnaires, to identify asthma and possible asthma among students in 14 racially/ethnically diverse public elementary schools. Results. Among 11 490 children, we demonstrated a high lifetime prevalence (12.2%) as well as racial and ethnic disparities in diagnosed asthma, but no disparities in prevalences of possible undiagnosed asthma. Possible asthma cases boost the total potential burden of asthma to more than 1 in 3 non-Hispanic Black and Puerto Rican children. Conclusions. There are significant racial and ethnic disparities in diagnosed asthma among inner-city schoolchildren in Chicago. However, possible undiagnosed asthma appears to have similar prevalences across racial/ethnic groups and contributes to a high total potential asthma burden in each group studied. A better understanding of underdiagnosis is needed to address gaps in asthma care and intervention for low-income communities.
Increasing the representation of Spanish-speaking study participants requires development and dissemination of reliable and valid translated scales. In the current study the construct validity was assessed of the Spanish version of the Crisis in Family Systems-Revised, a measure of contemporary life stressors, with a convenience sample of 377 parents interviewed in a study of childhood asthma, although over half of the respondents did not have children with asthma. Most respondents were foreign-born women between 20 to 60 years old (M = 35, SD = 7). 52% had not completed high school or its equivalent, and 55% reported a household income of $15,000 or less. For a subsample of 25 respondents test-retest reliability was .86 over 2 wk. Reporting more life stressors was associated with greater depressive symptomatology, poorer physical and mental health function, and lower household income. These relationships support the construct validity of the test in Spanish. This study provided strong evidence that this version is a valid and reliable measure of life stressors for a Spanish-speaking population living in the United States.
Objective. Recent national survey data indicate an overall asthma prevalence of 12.2% for children who are younger than 18 years. Previous research in clinical samples of children with asthma suggests that their mothers are at greater risk for symptoms of depression. We describe the relationship between maternal symptoms of depression and having a child with asthma in a community-based sample.
Methods. After a school-based ascertainment of asthma and asthma symptoms in 15 low-income, racially/ethnically diverse public elementary schools, 1149 eligible mothers agreed to participate in a longitudinal study. Mothers either had a child with previously diagnosed asthma or a child with symptoms consistent with possible asthma or were in the randomly selected comparison group in which no child in the household had asthma. During the first interview, mothers responded to questions about their own life stressors, supports and mental health, and their children's health.
Results. In bivariate analyses of a community-based sample of children who share low-income neighborhoods, mothers of children with diagnosed or with possible undiagnosed asthma had more symptoms of depression than did mothers of children who have no asthma. Mothers of children with diagnosed or with possible undiagnosed asthma also experienced more life stressors than did mothers of children without asthma. Using nested linear regression, we estimated a model of maternal symptoms of depression. Most of the variation in Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression score was accounted for by life stressors and social support. There were no independent effects of either asthma status or asthma status-specific child health status on maternal symptoms of depression.
Conclusion. Children who are under care for chronic conditions such as asthma live and manage their illness outside the clinical setting. Their social context matters, and maternal mental health is related to their children's physical health. Although having a child with asthma may be "just" another stressor in the mother's social context, complex treatment plans must be followed despite the many other pressures of neighborhood and family lives.
Background: The health and health care needs of non-English-speaking Hispanic families with children are poorly understood, in part because they are often excluded from research owing to language barriers. Instruments that are valid in English and Spanish are necessary to accurately evaluate the magnitude of asthma prevalence and morbidity among Hispanics.
Objective: To establish the sensitivity and specificity of the English and Spanish versions of the asthma portion of the Brief Pediatric Asthma Screen Plus (BPAS ) in a low-income Hispanic population.
Methods: The validation sample consisted of 145 children whose parents completed the BPAS in Spanish and 78 whose parents completed it in English. Bilingual clinicians conducted the examinations on which the clinical assessments were based. We compared the BPAS results with the clinical assessment findings to determine the sensitivity and specificity of the BPAS among Hispanics in terms of identifying children who warrant further medical evaluation for asthma.
Results: The sensitivity and specificity of the asthma portion of the Spanish BPAS were 74% and 86%, respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of the asthma portion of the English BPAS were 61% and 83%, respectively.
Conclusions: The asthma portion of the BPAS , a valid screen for identifying children who are in need of further evaluation for potentially undiagnosed asthma, is valid for low-income Hispanics in Spanish and English. As the Hispanic population continues to grow, it is imperative that researchers have English and Spanish instruments that are valid for this population.
The functional status and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of children who survive liver transplantation (LT) have not been well documented. The purpose of this study was to determine the functional status and HRQOL in this population using a validated measure for children, the Child Health Questionnaire-Parent Form 50 (CHQ-PF50).
Methods: The CHQ-PF50 instrument was completed by the parents of 55 children who agreed to participate in a mailing survey. Subscale scores for the sample were compared with those of a published normal population (n = 391).
Results: Study sample characteristics were: 87% Caucasian, 54.5% female, mean age at survey was 9.6 years (range, 5-17 years). Responding caregivers were 95% biologic parents and 93% female. Compared with the normal population, LT recipients had lower subscale scores for general health perceptions (P < 0.0005), emotional impact on parents (<0.0005) and disruption of family activities (0.0005). The mean physical summary score of the LT recipients was lower than that of the normal population 48.1 /- 12.1 (P = 0.005), but the mean psychosocial summary score was similar 48.8 /- 11.9 (P = 0.156). Within the LT population, the original diagnosis (biliary atresia vs. other), type of LT (living donor vs. cadaveric), age at LT, z score for height, and hospital days did not significantly influence any of the subscale scores.
Conclusions: Children who have survived LT have functional outcomes in the physical domain that are lower than those of normal children. Self-esteem and mental health in this group appeared normal. The parents in this sample experienced more emotional stress and disruption of family activities than did parents in a normal population.
Background: Asthma is the most common disease of childhood, but the recognition and detection remain poor, especially among schoolchildren. There has been an increase in the number of instruments available to detect the risk of asthma earlier in children. We have previously validated a simple, self-reported screen, the Brief Pediatric Asthma Screen (BPAS).
Objective: To develop a new screen for asthma and allergies based on the BPAS (BPAS ) with the intent of keeping the screen brief and simple, while including allergy detection.
Methods: Questions from the BPAS were extensively revised, and questions regarding allergic rhinitis were added. A panel of parents of asthmatic children reviewed and critiqued the questions. The final BPAS was distributed in elementary schools, and a cohort of 129 participated in a validation against the gold standard of evaluation by an expert in asthma.
Results: For asthma the best items were wheeze, persistent cough, night cough, and response to change in air temperature. The simplest scoring, any 1 of the 4 items, yielded the best balance of specificity (73.6%) and sensitivity (73.3%). For allergy, using all six items, having any one or any two of the items had sensitivity of 71.4% and specificity of 77.3%.
Conclusions: The BPAS provides a rapid and valid method for the detection of potential allergy and asthma in schoolchildren. Sensitivity and specificity are acceptable for both asthma and allergies.
The purposes of this paper are to (1) review the 24-hour intake of a nationally representative sample of adolescents, (2) describe data from a 24-hour food intake record from a sample of adolescents with diabetes, and (3) discuss the implications of this nutritional information for diabetes health providers.
This paper describes the development and psychometric properties of the Diabetes Problem-Solving Measure for Adolescents (DPSMA).
The DPSMA is a structured, interview-based questionnaire that examines how adolescents with type 1 diabetes solve diabetes-related self-management problems. Seventeen diabetes-related self-management problem vignettes were derived from a survey of adolescents and their parents. The vignettes were reviewed and finalized by a multidisciplinary team of diabetes experts. A sample of 43 adolescents, 13 to 17 years old, with type 1 diabetes, was used to establish the psychometric properties of the instrument.
The scale demonstrated acceptable internal consistency and interrater reliability. Predicted relationships with scores on concurrently administered measures of adherence, diabetes quality of life, and metabolic control provided support for construct validity.
The results suggest that the DPSMA has acceptable internal consistency, interrater reliability, and construct validity. It may be a useful tool to help healthcare providers understand the diabetes-related problem-solving abilities of their adolescent patients.
The objectives of this study were to establish the validity of the Crisis in Family Systems-Revised, a recently developed measure of contemporary life stressors, using the same validation technique as in the original validation and to provide further evidence of construct validity by assessing its relationship to socioeconomic status and residential location. We conducted 124 in-person interviews with parents in three outpatient pediatric asthma clinics affiliated with an academic medical center. The design was cross-sectional and correlational. Total count of life stressors accounted for 19% of the variance in scores on the Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression. Respondents using Medicaid and living in the city experienced more objective stressors, but the proportions of stressors rated as negative or positive (Valence), and ongoing (Chronicity) were fairly constant across subsamples, as was the Difficulty rating. Psychologists and health and mental health services researchers are in need of constructs relevant to contemporary society and its issues and tools to measure these constructs. Life stressors appears to be such a construct and the Crisis in Family Systems-Revised a measure with considerable utility.
Objective: We explored the current state of developmental screens, child development services, mechanisms to fund screens and services, and incentives for adopting new services within managed care organizations serving Medicaid enrolees.
Design: National, cross-sectional mail survey. Survey of 388 Medicaid managed care organizations (MMCO) enrolling children in 1998–99.
Results: Most of the 155 plans that responded provided an array of developmental screenings and services, funded primarily through internal mechanisms or under Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment (EPSDT) programs. Plan contacts expressed interest in implementing new services, particularly if additional funding was available. The most important motivators included requiring services in the Medicaid contract, enhanced capitation rates, and demonstration that providing child development services would reduce other utilization costs.
Conclusions: If state Medicaid agencies want to enhance the child development services available through health plans, they could initiate steps such as requiring child development services in contracts with plans or providers; revising EPSDT language and engaging in more consistent enforcement; and enhancing capitation rates. More research on effectiveness and benefits of specific developmental screens and services is needed.
Objective: To examine the relationships among demographic characteristics, caregiver life stressors, and depressive symptoms of mothers and their children's asthma morbidity.
Setting: Three pediatric asthma subspecialty programs, 2 in the inner city and 1 in the suburbs.
Design: Cross-sectional census sample of caregivers of children with asthma: interviews mostly with mothers (N = 123) regarding their children's asthma symptoms and health care utilization. Information collected on demographics and caregivers' own recent life stressors and depressive symptoms.
Subjects: Caregivers of children ages 18 months to 12 years with asthma at their subspecialty visit.
Measures: Structured interviews: a survey instrument prepared for this study and standardized instruments for depression (Center for Epidemiologic Studies--Depression) and life stressors (Crisis in Family Systems).
Results: A total of 32% of respondents' children had high asthma morbidity, 28% intermediate, and 40% low. Caregiver life stressors and depression and the children's sex showed the strongest relationships to asthma morbidity in a model that also included race, residence, and Medicaid status. Children were more likely to have high morbidity if they had caregivers with more depressive symptoms and negative life stressors and if they were female.
Conclusions: Respondents experienced many life stressors and symptoms of depression while managing their children's illness. Caregivers' lives may affect their children's asthma morbidity, offering empirical evidence for the potential value of targeted case management for children in subspecialty care.
Objective. We sought to understand why certain Medicaid managed care organizations (MMCOs) implemented child development services or programs and how they had done so. We also sought to identify barriers and facilitators to successful initiation and implementation of child development programs.
Methods. We conducted 9 key informant interviews and 4 site visits, and performed qualitative analyses to identify major themes across responses.
Results. We identified a small number of MMCOs with child development services. High-level support was crucial for program initiation; physician buy-in, staff support, and strong working relationships with outside health professionals or agencies were principal factors in successful program implementation.
Conclusions. MMCOs that were committed to implementing child development services were successful in doing so, without external funding or regulatory mandate. The results provide valuable strategies for MMCOs interested in developing programs and for researchers and advocates interested in promoting child development services for low-income children. Key words: Medicaid managed care, child development services.
To assess the extent of physical disability in juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA), classified according to subtype, and whether synovitis or flexion contractures are present on examination.
This retrospective study included 88 JRA patients and 50 controls without musculoskeletal disease. The outcome measure was the disability index (DI) derived from the Childhood Health Assessment Questionnaire (CHAQ).
DI scores for JRA patients with synovitis (mean 0.49, range 0-1.88) and without synovitis (mean 0.37, range 0-1.75) were significantly higher (P < 0.001 for both groups) than for controls (mean 0.06, range 0-0.75, P < 0.001), but not significantly different from one another. Similarly, DI scores for JRA patients with and without any flexion contractures were higher than for controls, but not significantly different from one another. DI scores for JRA patients with both synovitis and flexion contractures were significantly higher than DI scores for JRA patients with neither, but were not distinguishable from JRA patients with synovitis only or flexion contractures only. Likewise, DI scores for JRA patients lacking synovitis and flexion contractures were not significantly different than those for JRA patients with one or the other. DI scores for systemic and polyarticular patients were higher than for pauciarticular patients, and DI scores for all 3 subtypes were higher than for controls.
Our findings suggest that many JRA patients, including those with pauciarticular JRA, have problems with physical function, even when synovitis and flexion contractures are not present. Further attention and research is needed to elucidate the causes or origins of disability in JRA patients with seemingly well-controlled disease. We recommend that health status instruments like the CHAQ be more widely used for JRA patients to complement other assessments, especially in planning occupational and physical therapy.
Study objectives: The purpose of this study was to confirm the validity of a brief screen for pediatric asthma in schools.
Background: Asthma is the most common chronic disease of childhood, yet the frequency with which this condition is recognized among school-aged children varies widely. Several methods are used to increase the accuracy of detection of asthma, but many are cumbersome and difficult to apply on a large scale.
Design: We elected to validate a five-question instrument, the Brief Pediatric Asthma Screen (BPAS), to screen for the presence of asthma among children attending school in Region 5 of the Chicago school district, where the schools report a 2.7% frequency of asthma. The questionnaire was distributed to the parents of grade-school children at the time of report-card pick-up.
Setting: A clinical assessment was performed on a selected group of children whose parents completed the questionnaire in a school and in a hospital outpatient clinic.
Participants: Of 4,147 questionnaires that we distributed, 1,796 (43%) were returned. We excluded 341 children (19% of the total sample) whose parents reported that they had been diagnosed with asthma. The remaining pool indicated that the children of 183 responders (10%) had symptoms suggestive of asthma, while 1,272 parents (71%) indicated that their children did not have symptoms of asthma.
Measurements and results: We selected 90 of the respondents who did not indicate that their children had a diagnosis of asthma. Of this group, 81 completed the validation, in which their responses suggested symptoms of asthma (n = 34) or no asthma symptoms (n = 47). The children of these respondents were given a blinded clinical evaluation consisting of history, physical examination, and spirometry. The survey demonstrated a sensitivity of 75% and a specificity of 81.2% for the presence of asthma among those who were unaware of the diagnosis.
Conclusions: The BPAS is brief, can be filled out by parents, and appears accurate in detecting asthma.
To determine the effects of aspects of residency training on AIDS-related treatment practices. METHOD: The authors conducted a nationwide longitudinal panel study of 394 physicians who graduated in 1989 from six medical schools in New York State. Data were collected during the participants' fourth year of medical school, their third year of residency training, and six years after they had graduated from medical school. Questionnaires sought information about AIDS-related practice behaviors, including avoiding invasive procedures, minimizing contact, emphasizing AIDS prevention and education, and volume of people with AIDS treated. RESULTS: Aspects of residency training had a sustained impact on how the physicians cared for patients with AIDS but not on the numbers of patients they treated. Determinants of treatment practices included aspects of the residency environment (e.g., emphasis on problem solving, student orientation; p < .01), characteristics of the faculty (e.g., commitment to teaching, tolerance of varied viewpoints), cynicism about patient care (p < .001), social biases (homophobia and aversion to intravenous drug users; p < .001), and AIDS-related attitudes (p < .01). CONCLUSIONS: Fundamental changes to residency training, all of which are associated with learner-centered education, can improve physicians' treatment of their patients with HIV and AIDS.
To develop and validate a measure of contemporary life stressors. STUDY SETTING: Three interview studies: Study 1 (pilot), 32 caregivers receiving case management services for a child with chronic illness; Study 2 (validation), 311 caregivers of children receiving general pediatric care at a university clinic; Study 3 (reliability), 17 caregivers of children with a complex medical diagnosis. STUDY DESIGN: Study 1: item development via discussions with case managers; piloted with caregivers. Study 2 examined psychometric properties of the measure and correlated it with the CES-D, a measure of depressive symptomatology and the PRQ85-Part 2, a measure of perceived social support, to establish its convergent construct validity. Study 3 established the test-retest reliability of the measure over two weeks by correlating two administrations of the index. DATA COLLECTION: Face-to-face interviews in homes (Study 1) or in clinic waiting rooms (Studies 2 and 3) and by telephone (Study 3 retest). PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: The CRISYS is a flexible, multidimensional tool that demonstrates strong face, content, and construct validity, and excellent test-retest reliability. The format is easy to use and well accepted by respondents and is suitable for low-income populations. CONCLUSIONS: Researchers will find the CRISYS useful when evaluating the success of a clinical model or a healthcare system, and the effectiveness of an insurance plan or a government program. Clinicians may also find that the CRISYS is an effective screen for family needs.
Few instruments exist for the assessment of adolescent mental health. In order to examine the appropriateness of the Mental Health Inventory (MHI) for use with adolescents, secondary analyses were conducted of the large subsample (n = 953) of adolescents who participated in the community-based Rand Health Insurance Study. The reliability and readability of the MHI were confirmed. Subscales reflecting Psychological Well-Being and Psychological Distress were derived. The MHI, with its adolescent norms, is recommended for the assessment of adolescent mental health, particularly in studies in which comparison to a nonpsychiatric, normative adolescent population is indicated.
The impact of training on physicians' commitment to professional values is examined, using a cohort design to assess the evolution of attitudes toward AIDS during residency training. Cohorts of surgeons training in the same six residency programs were followed at key junctures, and their outlooks on three AIDS-related attitudes were examined: willingness to treat people with AIDS (PWAs), concern about exposure to HIV, and perceived benefits of treating AIDS. The findings revealed a consistent, negative impact of training on all three attitudes. Cohort and period (historical) effects were limited: younger cohorts more often viewed treating PWAs as a clinically valuable experience, and greater concern about exposure was evidenced as training progressed. The findings yield new evidence of the importance of residency training to professional socialization. More knowledge of alterable aspects of residency training that play a role is key to assuring that physicians emerge with a dedication to fulfilling their social responsibilities.
Understanding the impact of training on the development of physicians' attitudes toward AIDS is important to furthering our knowledge of the mechanisms through which socialization affects professional outlook, as well as promoting an adequate supply of providers to treat people with AIDS (PWAs). This prospective panel study collected data on 383 physicians at two critical stages: as fourth year medical students and as third-year residents. Aspects of residency training (e.g., residents' morale and positive faculty role models) were the most powerful predictors of increase in willingness was primarily a product of negative social attitudes - homophobia and IVDU-phobia (aversion to intravenous drug users). Cynicism toward patient care acted as a trigger activating the negative effects of IVDU-phobia; having an acquaintance who is HIV positive mediated the negative impact of homophobia. Notably, cynicism was associated with basic aspects of training (specific characteristics of the faculty and of the educational milieu). The findings support a view of socialization as pervasive process implicating intrinsic aspects of training and having an impact on a broad spectrum of outlooks. Accordingly, interventions must address structural characteristics that transcend AIDS-specific concerns.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in '1996 - 2004 SN95 Mustang -General/Talk-' started by Jagerbeast, Apr 18, 2010.
dude you seriously got RIPPED, i paid 6,800 for my 97gt 6yrs ago and at only 54,000 miles and in excellent condition. these dealers are way to proud for there cars. i bought my wifes 07 300 touring edition for $10,500, the dealer wanted 16,5, blue book was 18,9. so you got ripped so admit it
Your GT looks really nice. But like everyone is saying, you paid waaaaay too much for it. Showing off those links doesn't help justify that you grossly overpaid, it just shows that there are people out there who have no idea that their cars are not worth what they think they are.
People bring YOUR car into the discussion because you said that the new V6s are too expensive. You complain that they're too expensive yet you are willing to OVERPAY on a 13 year old NPI GT? You could have gotten a Cobra in good shape for that money. Have a problem with the price of a new V6/GT? Wait and buy a low mileage used one for thousands less.
And yes, you can certainly get clean GTs for MUCH less than what you paid. Granted mine had more miles but I paid less than half of that and mine was clean. You're kidding yourself to say that those of us who got a fair deal must have just gotten "****boxes," because it's FAR from the truth.
The average V6 Mustang doesn't cost $30K. You can option them that way, but most are going to be a lot less.
I bought my 98 Cobra in January for $9000. It has 112,000, but it came with a Vortec, full fuel system, mm coilovers, konis, panhard bar, guages, 3 sets of wheels (1 with race tires), shifter, all the stock parts, and probably something else I'm forgetting.
you want your money back
Funny, I don't see anyone showing me any listings for what I should've paid for my car. Dealers aren't going to let their cars go for half of their price, plain and simple. Show me some of these dealer listings for dirt cheap, mint SN95s. I haven't seen too many stock, mint Cobras in the sub $8k range. I've seen 100k+ mile modified ones, that are clean, but not mint.
Believe it or not there are a lot of GTs selling for upwards of $15k on Autotrader, I didn't even show those.
Also, not all of us care about whether or not the car is NPI. The general public doesn't care either, so it's not like that's a huge value hit. I could've bought a new edge, but I don't like the styling one bit. I'm not modding it, and it's my year round daily driver, so I'm not really concerned that it's NPI.
$9k for a modified 98 Cobra with over 100k miles sounds about right.
Point is, whether you say I overpaid, this or that, whatever, it makes no difference when those are the prices the cars are going for, proven by a nationwide search and the listings. It doesn't really make sense to compare a purchase from two months ago to a purchase 4-5 years ago, because obviously if you bought your car several years ago, you probably aren't looking and haven't been looking at current prices. The listings don't lie.
My car is mint, and it's exactly what I wanted, and I was able to find a dealer willing to work with my constraints. $600 lousy dollars over book isn't massively overpaying, sorry. It's not.
Again, show me some $4k 98 GTs at dealers that are bone stock, mint, and heavily optioned. I don't mean clean, I mean truly mint. Everybody's talking, but nobody's producing.
Are these really what my long winded posts look like?
I do, but I want the Cobra more.
Oh, the other part I forgot was a spare T-45 from a GT the previous owner totaled. He kept it in case he ever trashed the one in the Cobra.
heres how your dealer did it, he did 1 of 2. 1 he bought the car auction, paid 25-35% less then trade-in (fair cond) which is approx $4200. or 2 he gave approx $4200 trade-in (fair cond). if its a private dealer he bought the car at auction. used car dealers hardly ever trade, they buy at auctions and pay little to nothing for them. half the cars that go thru auctions have been repaired without report. that meens they dont report them to insurance or comply with local and state laws. so here in my area that car retails for only $7700. hell a 98 cobra completly loaded go for $10,8 and cobra converts go for $12,2. face it dude you got pulled and you know it.
heres one on ebay, however its a convert, which technicly and it does prove worth more then a coupe looks like its mint and is beautiful
Base 2011 GT in Canada: $38,499
Base 2012 GT in US: $29,145
Difference: $9,354 (dollar is at par)
Moral of this story, quit yer ****in. I could never afford a new GT living in Canada (FML).
The car was a local trade.
So, I'll even play along here and assume my mint car was traded for "fair" condition value, which is kind of bogus because the car isn't in "fair" condition and the guy who traded it likely knew that and didn't trade unless he felt the price he was getting was decent. But I'll play along with your fair condition trade value of $4200. If my dealer took the car in at $4200, did a few basic services and detailed it (which they did), let's say that puts the dealer out $4500, which is probably realistic given they get stuff cheap, etc. So at $4500 in, why would they take a measly $5k, or even $6k for it? No dealer is going to sell that car for anything close to what they have in it, otherwise what's the point of taking it on trade in the first place? Surely you realize that. It's pretty much a no brainer that they have large profit margins on used cars.
How did I get pulled if the car values at $7700 in California, and I paid $7800 in the north? All you've shown is I paid more or less spot on what it's worth to an insurance company who'll pay out in an accident.
What I do see though is you telling me the car trades in fair condition at $4200, retailing at $7700 today in 4/2011, and several people in this thread saying they paid HALF (~$3900, or certainly well under $5k) for my car, several years ago. So if a car trades at $4200 in 2011, how are these people claiming they bought their car several years ago for less than the 2011 trade in value?
If you're trying to show I got ripped off, you're not doing a very good job by telling me that I paid the retail value of the car. All you're really doing is showing that people in this thread claiming they paid less than today's trade-in value 5 years ago are full of crap.
What I see is an auction with two full days left and 19 bids sitting at $5200.
I also don't see a mint car--I see a clean car, and there's a big difference. It's nice, but I see a car with door panels coming apart, a pretty dirty convertible top, and a little wear on the center of the steering wheel. I can also see how dirty the steering wheel is, what that cover is hiding. The top of the rear bumper also has the typical SN95 warping, which is an eyesore. Clean, not mint--big difference. The bumper is a deal breaker, and if that wasn't, the dirty top would be. The automatic is unfortunate. So I see that "clean" car currently sitting at $5200 with two days left and 19 bids.
Again, even if the car doesn't go a penny higher than $5200 (which it will), I couldn't buy off ebay if I wanted to (nor would I, too unsafe). And, it's again, not what I wanted. Normally I'd say verts are worth more, but it's kind of hard to say that considering probably 1/4 of all Mustangs built are verts, and at that age, coupe vs. vert doesn't make a terribly huge difference in price like it does when a car is much newer. I see more vert Mustangs than any other car on the road, generally.
But ok, there's one that may or may not prove to be a better deal. I can find 15 more worse values for every better deal you find. I never said I got the deal of the century, so obviously there are always going to be better deals, but I did get a fair deal, especially compared to the rest of the market.
I like my car, I like what I paid for it, what difference does it make to anyone else? I got a damn nice car, exactly what I wanted--didn't have to compromise on anything.
Which is what the people who are buying new V6s are saying.
I payed $6500 out the door on my car, a bone stock highly optioned 2000 Gt with 81K on the clock. The dealer wanted 10K, told him I would give him half that and we worked up to $6500. He got the car as a trade in for $5500. So he made money and I saved money. Deals are out there.
Back on topic:
I could never own a V6 Mustang. I respect the power and how nice they are but I did not buy my car for gas mileage or for its great DD characteristics. I wanted a muscle car, so i bought one. Same deal would be if I bought a new one, but 40K for a 302 Boss, is way too much.
With all due respect, if that really did happen great, but it sounds extremely far fetched. That's basically what it would sell for with a salvage title.
hahaha, ya i hear ya, if all the paper work wasnt case sensarive id scan it and post it. of course there gonna tell ya its a local trade, dealers and lawyers sit at the same table when it all comes to an end. no dealer in this world is gonna give top dollar for a trade in wether its local or not, "mint" or not. dont worry man you can cry on my shoulders for gettin bent.
It's pretty easy to tell if it really was a local trade or not just by looking at the title history, or even just the most recent title.
or just wire up some nitrous and crush some kids hopes and dreams when he comes to pick on the older lesser model lol. I wouldnt worry about it man there will always be something coming out thats better and faster. I felt the sameway when the new 5.0 came out and started getting forced induction and cracking 10s. I have more money in mods on my car than its worth really why sell it.
im actually selling my mercedes to put more into the mustang cause that gets 29mpg but isnt all that much more beneficial over the mustang cause it comes with a hefty payment. luxury and quiet is nice but eh having more in my pocket each month is better and besides im only 23 so there will be more on down the line.
Point being just keep your car enjoy it and just remember back when you bought it how excited you were. I remember why i love my stang more than the mercedes every time i drive the stang. (except for when a turn comes up then i remember that its just a mustang and not a mercedes lol)
Well said.
We are all enthusiasts here and each bought the car for a reason. Enjoy the hell out of what you have because there is always going to be something out there "better".
Mint condition, hmm lemme see, a 71 hemi cuda convertible with EVERYTHING original and less then 84k miles and 1 owner and sat in a garage for the last 25yrs... That's mint, not a 98gt that's been serviced more the a doe lookin for hookie on the corner or stickers and I'd tags that are still visibly ledgeble, not something that's been resold at a dealer that's been detailed and cleaned, but wait the one on ebay. Didn't you say that it was cleaned very well. Heck that means it could be mint too. Dude get real your car is a 98gt that has been "traded" for and detailed and sold to you for too much. As far the 300 deal, it was a repo, and auction bought. The dealer I bought it from paid 7100 at aution detailed it (to mint) condition then I came along and bought for $10,5

Risi Competizione will start 7th on the GTLM grid and 16th overall.
Risi Competizione will start tomorrow's 100-minute Tequila Patron Sportscar Showcase at Long Beach from 7th place on the GTLM grid and 16th overall. The third round of the TUDOR United Sportscar Championship will start at 3:10pm (Pacific Time) Saturday, 12 April.
Making his debut on the Californian track just this morning, and after only 75 minutes of practice, Giancarlo Fisichella was pitched into an intense qualifying battle against the might of the well-supported, full factory squads from Corvette (GM), BMW and Porsche.
The Italian set his fastest time of 1:19.037 on the fourth of his seven laps in the 15-minute qualifying – the No.62 Ferrari 458 Italia still not quite set up to the liking of the Ferrari Corse Clienti driver and his new team mate for this weekend, Californian Dane Cameron.
Fisichella said afterwards: "There is so little time in the schedule for practice this weekend and, as the team explained to me before we started, the early morning session and the late afternoon session showed themselves to be very different as far as the track and the feel of the car is concerned. Just before qualifying we made a little change to the set-up of the car but it didn't work for us and we still had too much oversteer. The car was not predictable enough to push it harder."
He and Cameron have been working very well together, combining the former's extensive experience with the F458 with Cameron's local track knowledge and proven performance level. The primary goal for the team tomorrow is to bring the car home to the checkered flag in the same pristine condition in which it starts the race!
Pole position in GTLM was set by Jan Magnussen in the No.3 Corvette with a new qualifying lap record of 1:17.939.

text: Simon Cowell - Unregistered July 05, 2010 2:34 PM LOL at all the conspiracy theories. Look, Spies finished where he was capable of finishing this weekend. He spent nearly all of practice in the lower reaches of the top 10 and was in the same place in warm up. Yes he did a couple of fast qualifying laps but he pulled those out of nowhere. His race pace suggested lower top 10 and that's where he finished (a bit higher thanks to Dovi and Sic). No drama, no mystery, he just wasn't ever going to run at the front this weekend. That's going to happen on some new tracks, no big deal. Sorreee...just an opinion. 15 agree 2 disagree

[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-408?page=all ] Doug Cutting resolved HADOOP-408. --------------------------------- Fix Version/s: 0.6.0 Resolution: Fixed I just committed a partial patch for this. With these changes, the total time for unit tests is down from over nine minutes to under six minutes. > Unit tests take too long to run. > -------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-408 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-408 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: Wish > Affects Versions: 0.4.0 > Reporter: Doug Cutting > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 0.6.0 > > > Several of the unit tests take over a minute to run. I suspect most of this time is waiting for daemons to stop. Perhaps we can restructure daemon shutdown in the test frameworks so that all daemons are first asked to shutdown, and then wait for the actual shutdown of all daemons in the TestCase's tearDown() method. Also, we might try to combine some unit tests that require the same daemons under a single TestCase caller, so that they share setup/tearDown costs. Or we could try to simply make daemon shutdowns faster. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira

I was sitting here wondering why in the hell she would change her user name to that then thought maybe a moderator did it. So I went to the tools section and looked in the user log section... my user log section looks like this: No entry in the User Log displays the name change. I think the user log may actually be Syndol's User Essentials modification? Not sure. I don't know what tools is supposed to look like... Oh wait I have a xamp... K so Registration Logs and User Log is extra. Alright I don't know what addon adds the Registration Log but when I look at it it showed that there was 300 failed attempts to create an account on my site yesterday by spammers holy #$%!!! The pattern I noticed is that once the spammer fails with one email they'll try again with other username about 3 or 4 more times then it's back to trying to register with a different email. Disturbingly persistent... Oh also saw a Server Error http://xenforo.com/community/threads/what-server-error-is-this.38900/ Anyway, none of that stuff told me who changed her name to Herpez Mouth so I guess I'll just ask her myself.

I've known Michael for years. He helped many of our clients with immigration needs. He is hands on, quick to answer the clients' needs and a truly reliable attorney. Highly recommend to contact Michael for your immigration case without delay.
Posted by Natasha
Michael took our immigration case while other lawyer refused. He was very personal and reassured us that he will handle everything, and he did. Michael took really good care of us. We would work with Michael again and highly recommend him.

Great lawyer!
I've made a mistake in the past and it promised me a problem with naturalization. Michael did every single step with me, started from filling up the application and till the interview. Everything went great! As a matter of fact, today (dec 04 2014) I've got my citizenship!
Thank you Michael!
Posted by Davit
I have worked with Michael on couple of different cases and have been very happy with him. Michael is a great attorney. He made my experience very easy and painless. He was very responsive and returned all phone calls right away. Michael was always ahead of the game all the time and would keep me updated on everything that went on with the case. I had a great experience working with him. I have recommended him to several people and everyone has been very happy with him. Michael also has a great personally and is very easy to deal with; I will keep recommending him to other people.
Michael is awesome!

Michael handled my mom's immigration case with knowledge, promptly responded to questions, paid attention to details. I would recommend him as a highly professional immigration attorney
Posted by Federico
Michael took my case with big confidence even though it was a tough one. I wanted to apply for a Green Card using I140 for extraordinary talents, but my talent is by all means not traditional and thus proving my case was going to be difficult. Michael knew this and counseled me appropriately to get all the documentation that would help make my case face to USCIS. My petition got approved with only a minor request for evidence, and way faster than it usually takes. This was due to Michael fast reaction time, good communication skills, and good advice that comes from his thorough experience with similar cases. As a client, with Michael you feel that you can just dedicate to your life and let him deal with the whole thing - something rare in a lawyer. He really takes your case as if it was his own. I couldn't recommend him more, whatever the difficulty of your case -and I bet it cannot be more difficult than mine- Michael will get it done.

Mr. Yalovenko represented me as my immigration lawyer since 2009. He is very knowledgeable and helped me to gather all needed documents. He was very responsive and always answered all of my questions. He reassured me when I had doubts that the case would be successful. I am glad I worked with such a good man and competent specialist.
Posted by anonymous
When looking for help with my immigration status, it was very important to find someone who was well versed regarding immigration law as well as tactful and cost effective. I am glad to say that my experience with Michael Yalovenko (and his team) was exactly that. I came to him needing help to extend my stay in the United States and he handled my case with finesse and speed as it was a time sensitive matter. He was extremely approachable and more importantly, he took the time to thoroughly inform me of my options. I would definitely work with him again and recommend him to family and friends!
Posted by Irina
"We met Michael during a very unfortunate and nerve-racking time, having just been left by our original attorney due to conflicts and being faced with a green card interview just one week away. Michael was professional, diligent, and most importantly reassuringly supportive as I was just so anxious and stressed under the circumstances. He firstly made us feel calm, then in a short time got us ready, and was with us every step-of-the-way. His easygoing personality, combined with skilled and expert opinion, got us through the interview successfully. Now I have received my permanent green card and I am looking forward to starting citizenship processes with the guiding hand of Michael Yalovenko. I have and will wholeheartedly continue recommending his services as an excellent immigration attorney."
Posted by Evgeny
I contacted Michael this summer. I was injured and he came himself despite the fact that I was outside the city. It was pleasure to work with him. Also he has a great team and all they did was beyond my expectations. They kept me informed all the time.

Project Description2000 RADA
On The Boards / Merit
Designing a residence for tiny Dewees Island, near Charleston, S.C., has presented architect Whitney Powers with a host of challenges. All materials will have to be transported from the mainland by barge or ferry; federal and local laws mandate a 12-foot elevation above grade; and only minimal clearing of the pristine site is permitted.
But Powers' design for the 2,200-square-foot house and adjacent guest quarters earned high praise from the judges, who applauded the project's "nice, simple scheme" and its seductive "clarity."
"We've used the vault idea here to establish the fact that from anywhere inside the main house you'll have a clear sense of the entire structure," Powers says. Even lofts above the bedroom and living room open to allow uninterrupted views of the space.
The vault also allows Powers to "keep a much lower profile" within the canopy height of nearby live oaks. "Had we gone with a ridge or shed, the house would have been much higher," Powers says. "This design is far more discreet, becoming part of the horizon when seen from a distance."

A case is pending before an appellate court in South Korea that could allow refunds of certain amounts of tax withheld on payments distributed to Luxembourg SICAVs. If the appeals are ultimately decided in favor of the SICAVs, they could be entitled to a refund of the difference between the withholding tax paid at a "standard" rate and the treaty-related rate of withholding tax. Because of the statute of limitations, SICAVs may want to consider filing claims for refunds of withholding tax for 2012 and 2013 before 31 December 2015.
The Korean Ministry of Strategy and Finance in May 2011 issued a ruling concluding that SICAVs are to be treated as holding companies under Article 28 of the then-applicable Korea-Luxembourgincome tax treaty—and thus excluded from treaty benefits.
Given this ruling, the "standard" withholding rates—22% on dividends and "general interest" payments and 15.4% on interest derived from bonds—were to be applied on Korean income distributed to Luxembourg SICAVs, instead of the "reduced" withholding tax rates (15% on dividends, 10% on dividends for shareholdings with a minimum ownership of 25%, and 10% on interest payments) under the treaty.
In 2012, the Korean tax authorities issued to four Korean custodian banks, tax assessments relating to withholding tax for the period May 2009 to May 2011, in the amounts of KRW 130 billion (approximately U.S. $118 million) for under-withheld tax on amounts distributed to Luxembourg SIVACs.
When the Korean custodian banks filed administrative appeals of the tax assessments, the tax authorities denied these claims. The custodian banks then filed suit before the district courts in Seoul. The courts concluded in January 2015 that the SICAVs were eligible for treaty benefits—even for the period prior to the removal of Article 28 from the Korea-Luxembourg income tax treaty (with the entry into force of a new treaty in 2013).
The tax authorities appealed, and the case is now pending before the Seoul High Court (Court of Appeal). A final decision is not expected for another two to three years, and if the decision is against the tax authorities, it is anticipated that the government would further appeal to the Supreme Court.
Meanwhile, a revised income tax treaty between Korea and Luxembourg entered into force on 4 September 2013, and a principal change was the removal of previous Article 28 that had provided the basis for excluding SICAVs from treaty benefits for specific holding companies. Accordingly, SICAVs generally now would be able to claim treaty benefits from this point forward, provided that they are the beneficial owner of the income.

MADRID, Spain Rafael Nadal might want to skip the trip to Argentina to be a cheerleader for Spain at the Davis Cup final.
Emilio Sanchez Vicario, captain of the Spanish team, says his country will stand a better chance if the world's No. 1 player - injured and unable to compete - is not courtside for the championship in Mar del Plata on Nov. 21-23. He says Nadal would pose too much of a distraction.
"I think he's too big mediawise," Sanchez Vicario told The Associated Press on Wednesday. "When he wants to be there, he wants to be there to compete. He's always center and he's a leader, so I will miss him there, but obviously we have great players. ... They have enough personality to take this team and help it forget about Rafa."
Sanchez Vicario says Argentina now faces heavy expectations because of Nadal's absence.
"They are going to have a lot more pressure than with Rafa, who is No. 1," he said. "Because if they beat him at home they are national heroes. I hope we can take advantage."
Argentina captain Alberto Mancini has called Nadal's absence "good news."
"It's normal when the No. 1 in the world doesn't come ... for them to say that," Sanchez Vicario said. "I think they are the favorites in all of the fields."
Argentina is going for its first title in its third attempt. It has selected Juan Martin del Potro, David Nalbandian, Jose Acasuso and Agustin Calleri for the best-of-five series on a hard indoor court at the Islas Malvinas stadium.
Sanchez Vicario picked 56th-ranked Marcel Granollers to replace Nadal when the French Open and Wimbledon champion withdrew after failing to recover from a knee injury.
Sanchez Vicario said Granollers could play doubles, which means Fernando Verdasco or Feliciano Lopez will probably join David Ferrer in singles. The captain added that Santiago Ventura, ranked 122nd, will travel as the first substitute when the team leaves Thursday.
"We don't have obstacles," Sanchez Vicario said. "I think we have a great opportunity, all of us, and that is what I will try to put in the minds of my players. Obviously, the Argentinian players are the most difficult part because they are the ones who are really good on this surface."

2 Toys in 1
By Alicia
from Buffalo, NY
About Me Do-It-Yourself, Handyman
Comments about BJs Wholesale Club Step2 Dockside Sandbox and Climber:
We bought this for our living room. We had fully intended to keep it as one part but due to the weird shape and the boat jutting out, it took up too much space and wasted a bunch of usable living room space so we ended up taking the boat off and using the climber/slide separately. First we disassembled the boat and filled it with colored rice. My kids play in this "sandbox" every day. My husband hates that we have about 30lbs of rice ground into our carpet but I can't take this toy away because it is the thing in our house that gets the most use. They learned how to take the lid off by themselves and they will sit in there for an hour and just play. They are 3 and 1 and at the present time, they still both fit in there. They sit on the rice and drive the boat and play so nicely together. As for the climber… This is now residing in my daughter's room. She is 3 and still loves this. We have had it for about 2 years and both of my kids are constantly up and down the stairs and the slide and standing on the platform. This is really versatile and we really feel like we got our money's worth with the 2 toys in 1. We did take the canopy off because it is only fastened on by 2 pieces of velcro and I feel like it fell off more than it was attached. To save ourselves the headache, we just removed it and put it in storage.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great for toddlers first playset. Perfect to use indoors, just fill the sandbox with balls.
Absolutely Love it!
By JB
from Shawnee, OK
We bought this for my 13 month old son and he loves it! It is perfect for him to climb and slide without being so tall that we worry about him hurting himself. He loves the sandbox. After reading another review we did drill drain holes in the bottom of the sandbox to help with rain water since the lid is not water tight. I would recommend this product. It also shipped very quickly.

Not rain proof
By Olya
from Washington, DC
We've had this product for about 5 months, but my daughter only played in the sandbox three times. Every time it rains, the sandbox gets filled with water, even though the top is closed and I put a plastic tarp over it. By the time the water evaporates, it rains again and we are back to square one.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Poor plastic molding
By jerm19k
from Estero, FL
About Me Professional
The directions are simple as is the assembly. But the molding on the deck piece where the slide fits in is smaller than the width of the slide. Therefore assembly can not be completed and no further comments can be made. Except that we live out in the country and the huge inconvenience and time wasted is disappointing. We would expect that childrens toys would have a tighter quality control inspection.
Great product!
By Lilys Mommy
from Jacksonville, Florida
About Me First Time Parent, Stay At Home Parent
My daughter loves this toy! It was easy to put together too. The slide is short so this is really best for small children 3 and under probably, but the sandbox is great for slightly older ages. Definitely recommend this product.

Awesome for twins ages 13 months
By Maria
from San Diego, Ca
About Me Education Oriented, First Time Parent, Parent Of Multiples (Twins etc), Working Parent
Love this item for children first learning to climb. I have twins, one walking and the other crawling. They were premies and my little one is still learning her balance. My boy has mastered it all. They both love playing on this structure. I have it on our balcony so it is the perfect size (our balcony is enclosed and safe for this). We turned the sandbox into a ball pit and they are laughing out there all the time! It was a gift to them from my mother in law. We are so happy she got this for them!! I recommend this to anyone. It is also a reasonable price and super cute too. I have all sorts of ideas for the boat sandbox that do not include sand. We will use it for a ballpit, beans, toy box and more. Great piece!

Be sure your child doesn't have on shoes but does have on socks as they tend to stick on slide due to angle.
