Bump for a good seller!

Edit: You don't happen to be interested in a 1999 Range Rover 4.6 HSE or a 1997 Lexus LX450?
I'll be selling them for a friend pretty soon.

We CAN'T move, otherwise I would not even consider selling my car. We are stuck here, because we are buying our house. We cannot just get up and move, nobody will buy our house because of how bad the road is, and we did not know the extent of the road until after we purchased. Basically, the original developer never finished the road, the city did not require him to have a bond when he built the subdivision, the road was never turned over to the city, the developer skipped town, and now there is nothing the city will do, the county won't do anything because the subdivision is annexed into the city. Believe me, the owners in here are all trying to get something done. We could not even leave yesterday, and I had finals for college that I was unable to complete because of the road. My husband has an F-250 work truck, and he was not able to get out either. If I had the opportunity, it would be worth it to me to sell our place cheap and lose $20K on it, and be able to get the hell out of here. As stated, I'm needing to sell my car since I am buying a truck with 4WD. My husband just bought an RX-8 because we figured after everyone just recently invested $2800 toward getting the road graded and graveled that it would be okay, but now it's worse than it was. Unfortunately, his car will be sitting for a while until the road gets better.

steal from the warden and run off to Mexico after breaking out of the pen?
 
well that really suck. sorry you have to sell. are you still gonna be making the fmic kits though?
 
Believe me, we have tried everything. We are scheduled for the city council meeting at the beginning of next month, but their excuse if that it is a "private road" although nobody knows who really owns it, if the developer still owns it or not, there are no tax records that state he pays taxes on anything in the subdivision, the plat map doesn't have any info on the ownership of the road. They are definitely tired of hearing us, but it's a matter of getting them to do something about it. They say when SPLOST funds are approved for the city, they may be able to help us, but basically this subdivision is an eyesore for them so they just ignore it and have done nothing since the subdivision was finished in 2002. I've been raising hell, so we've gotten more attention now along with all the other owners in here getting together. It's just going to take time unfortunately.

If anyone wants to know more, here is a Yahoo Group that I made for our subdivision, there are newspaper links on the main page as well: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/victoria_lane_group/

If there was any hope of the road getting paved soon I would keep my car, but as far as it's looking it may not be soon. I would rather be able to get out if I need to (4x4 truck), and obviously the emergency vehicles couldn't get down/up the hills if they needed to. Huge issue. Needless to say it's probably going to take someone dying for the city to actually do anything.

just tell them you want your road finished or everyone in the neighborhood is gonna abandon there homes and loans and they can have an entire subdivision empty...im sure in todays market thats just what they would like to hear. it wont work but hey maybe they will believe you. thats just crappy about the road...sorry to hear and sorry about the car.
 
sorry to hear, if noone owns it then the neighborhood should just split the cost to have it paved
 
We have thought about that, but it is going to cost $160,000-$200,000 to get it paved correctly so that then the city would take it over. We don't have enough people to raise that kind of money. The city doesn't want to pay for fixing the road, so they only want to take it over after it's fixed.

We are thinking about that.. as we were misled to believe that this was a public road, not a private (we should have done in-depth research, but didn't get the time to), and if we and the financing people would have known it was a private road the FHA people wouldn't have given us the loan. Sooo, now I'm wondering what we could do legally.

Did a little research:

1. Title insurance - the way to get out of here.
2. The county owned the land, it was "annexed" into the city.
3. The city needs to fix the road - Once the city gave the approval for the subdivision, the land for the road would have had to be dedicated by the builder to the city before building permits were issued.

We will see, going to contact a lawyer tomorrow.

of course, sorry to hear, have you sought legal help
