Here in South Dakota, the winters can be real ulgy. Alot of snow, very cold temps and roads covered in Salt to clear the ice. This combo ***** when your daily driver is also your pride and joy.
So, I did some checking into getting a daily driver. I found a ok car, its a small 4 banger that would get above average in gas mileage then most cars. It is owned by a cousin of mine. I feel alot better buying a car that I know the owner is a straight shooter. They are a machine, they can break down without any warning, but for the most part he is aware of the shape it is in. So I am not buying a lemon and they are not telling me. The next step was car insurance. It would be 20 buicks more a month. They also added Renters insurance.
With that being said, I am trying to decide if I would be money ahead to have this car and save my pride and joy for special occasions. If i were to keep driving the pride and joy, I would be spending that 20 buicks washing it a month. I wouldent be so mad to keep this other car that clean. The other bonus would be moving to a cheaper apartment. I have a garage that I wouldent need if I could put the pride and joy away at my parents house.
Enough Rambling.... But the buttom line is.. is it getting me ahead in anyway? I just had surgery a couple weeks ago that was much worse then expected. I have school loans coming at me. So I am trying to weigh out the advantages and disadvantages..
Thanks for helping
