Question: Why are American cars bad?

We have fallen so far behind in the auto industry, not including trucks.

Our new Electric Car, the Chevy Volt only gets 40 miles per charge and cost 40 grand.

Now our international competitor, the Nissan leaf, gets 100 miles per charge and cost only 20 grand after tax credits.

Why are our American products in general so expensive, and why are they crappy?

Answer: Because the Unions have priced them out of the market. They make $70 (including benefits) per hour for a $20 per hour job.
They either have to be way over priced, or under quality.

Double Reimbursement

Question: Trane or Carrier or Goodman?

I have a bad condenser and evaporator coil that need replacement. I have gotten quotes for replacing the whole system including the gas furnace. I have quotes for Trane, 13 seer replace the whole system for $4150. Carrier, 16seer for $4650(Eligible for tax credit). Goodman, 16 seer for $5500(Eligible for tax credit) or just replace the condenser and evaporator coil for Goodman at $2850, Trane at $3150, Carrier at $2950.
Can someone please tell me what is the best deal among these various quotes? Carrier after tax rebates cost me around $3200 and is 16 seer. I don’t know anything about this brand. I have heard Trane is the best brand among these and very reliable. Do I choose between, Carrier 16 seer and cheap price at $3200 or Trane better brand(?), reliable(?) than Carrier and at $4150 and rule out Goodman? Should I consider any other factors?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Answer: First, I am sure Trane also offer a 16 SEER unit. Why didn’t you get all the quotes on the same basis?

All of the 13 and 16 SEER units are relatively new so their track record is not very well known.

I personally have three Trane units. They have done well but I like them because the contractor is first rate and very responsive if you call for service.
