Do you have to have full coverage on a car if you get a loan for it?

Most lenders require that and include that requirement in the loan agreement papers that you signed. Failure to keep the insurance current can result in either lender initiated insurance which will be far more expensive and won't cover liability, or it can result in the loan being "called in" and the car sold at auction. Check your contract to determine which option the bank selected. The lender is watching out for himself in these situations and, this is not to protect you interests. What should have been added though was that if the vehicle is "called in" and sold at auction, you are responsible for the difference of what was obtained at auction and what you owe on the car. Let's say at auction they get $700 at the auction for the car, and you owe $4,000 on it, you are responsible for the $3,300.00 and whatever fees are associated with the sale. You are best off for your interest to carry full coverage.


Are diamonds worth a lot of money?

Generally, yes. From MostExpensive.com: "The world's most expensive diamond sold for $24.3 million, beating a previous record of $16.5 million for a 100-carat diamond in 1995. While the [35.56 carat] Wittelsbach is the most expensive diamond ever sold at auction -- and likely the most expensive diamond ever sold, period -- the world-famous Hope diamond [of about the same colour] would no doubt put the Wittelsbach to shame were it ever sold." Read more about this stone, below. On a more realistic level, because diamonds are so valuable, most people who own diamonds -- and other precious gems -- insure them against loss. Buying a diamond is a major purchase and often a major investment. Unlike buying a car, for example, that can end up scrapped in a junk yard over time, a diamond will always maintain its (gemologist's appraised) value.


What's the difference between a foreclosure auction and a regular auction?

A foreclosure auction is a forced auction. The person who used to own the property being auctioned owed either the bank or the government money. For not paying the money back, their property is sold at auction to satisfy their debt. A regular auction could be anything and isn't necessarily to pay off debt, but usually to make a profit.
