People who need fast cash and don’t have access to credit probably have more options than they at first realize. However, some options are more preferable than others. They may be able to get a loan, but fast-cash loans usually come with high interest rates, and they also must have the means to pay the money back. Selling something at a pawn shop is another possibility. Individuals who do some work on their own vehicles are likely to have used automotive parts in the garage that are just taking up space. They can bring these items to shops that sell used automobile components and pay Cash For a used car part in good working order.
It may be surprising to many people how much these components are worth. A shop that pays Cash For a used car part accepts a large variety of items, but pays a premium for certain ones. Some of those include starter and alternator cores, aluminum and brass radiators, and aluminum tire rims. Some items they sell for scrap metal and some to customers looking for used components. Core parts can be sold to companies that rebuild those automotive components. Many vehicle owners prefer to spend less for a rebuilt starter, for instance, than to pay full price for a new one.
Used tires with little wear also are in demand at these stores. Buying a full set of new tires generally is the best choice, but not everyone can afford this. Replacing two or four old, worn tires with a good set of used ones allows that vehicle owner to safely drive for many more miles. One tire that has blown out or otherwise become ruined can be replaced with a suitable used model as well.
With cash in hand from a store such as The Tire Shop & Used Auto Parts, a person can pay an overdue electric bill, get an appliance fixed or even just do something fun. There’s no feeling of irresponsibility hanging overhead like there might be for taking out a personal loan and spending the money on concert or football tickets.

Barack Obama presents rescue plan after GM declaration of bankruptcy

In a televised speech from the White House at 16:00 UTC today, President of the United States Barack Obama presented a reorganization plan following the 12:00 UTC announcement by General Motors that it had filed for bankruptcy and Chapter 11 protection from its creditors, the largest bankruptcy of a U.S. manufacturing company.
Describing the problem with the company as one that had been “decades in the making,” Obama explained the rationale behind his proposed reorganization plan for General Motors. He stated that his intent was not to “perpetuat[e] the bad business decisions of the past,” and that loaning General Motors money, when debt was its problem, would have been doing exactly that. His plan, he stated, was for the United States government, in conjunction with the governments of Canada and Ontario (which he thanked for their roles alongside the government of Germany which he thanked for its role in selling a corporate stake in GM Europe), to become shareholders in General Motors. The United States government would hold a 60% stake. The government will give GM a capital infusion of US$30 billion in addition to the funds it has already received.
Of the government ownership he stated that he refused “to let General Motors and Chrysler become wards of the state”, and described the bankruptcy of Chrysler, and the bankruptcy of General Motors that he envisioned as being “quick, surgical, bankruptcies”. He pointed to the bankruptcy of Chrysler as an example of what he envision for General Motors, but stated that General Motors was a “more complex company” than Chrysler.
Responding to challenges voiced by political opponents, before the speech, that the federal government would actively participate in the affairs of the restructured company, he stated that he had “no interest” in running GM, and that the federal government would “refrain from exercising its rights” as a corporate shareholder for the most part. In particular, he stated that the federal government would not exercise its rights as a shareholder to dictate “what new type of car to make.” He stated that he expected the restructured GM to make “high quality, safe, and fuel-efficient cars of tomorrow,” and several times described what he anticipated as “better” and “fuel-efficient” cars, after a streamlining of GM’s brands.
He said to the general public that “I will not pretend that the hard times are over.” He described the financial hardship that some — shareholders, communities based around GM plants, GM dealers, and others — would undergo as a “sacrifice for the next generation” on their parts, so that their children could live in “an America that still makes things,” concluding that one day the United States might return to a time when the maxim (a widely-repeated mis-quotation of what Charles Erwin Wilson once testified before the U.S. Senate when nominated for the position of Secretary of Defense) would once more be true that “what is good for General Motors is good for the United States of America.”
