Do one at a time. Get the GLK first, then go for the GL since the current state of the economy will give you more haggling room for the GL.

Waiting for ISG to get their numbers straight. The repurchase breakdown they sent me was $700 short. They "claim" they didn't have the RO's from Anaheim showing it was taken in at 1604 miles for battery drain (first complaint) and were basing it off a higher mileage from Walter's. I faxed over the RO's and am awaiting a new breakdown. This isn't rocket science, I am amazed how long it is taking them. Service A is due and I am not doing it.

WTF. Look around man. I run a company with over 400 employees dude, I know whats going on out there. If I cannot get financing on a property that is going to generate positive cash flow of when major banks and institutions fail left and right, you can't help but look and see there is something seriously wrongout there.
