Ahhhhh, what a place to let off some steam..........
Just going thru this conversion concerning cars and us traveling is going to drive me to drinking.......more.
Wife likes the '07 GT Vert and wants to keep it.....store it for 6 months while we travel each year. I have just been waiting for her to figure the $$$ end of things in her mind. Storage is about $100/mo for a car size unit, so there is $600 plus keeping ins. coverage and plates, there is another $400 a year so $200 on the cost of storing. So far, $800 storage costs and then any problems based on the storage and not being driven on a real regular basis. Depreciation in 6 months is most likely close to that so figure I am out $1600 to have a car sit thru the summer.
Today, she saw the light so to speak and said maybe we should sell the '07 along with the '66. Buy one new Focus to tow and see if we really need a second car later. If we do, buy a cheap around town car. I was waiting for that.........
So, maybe I will just trade the '07 Vert just to simplify things a bit, sell the '66 and make things simple. I know an out right sale would be better for the money but selling right now seems slow for everyone so trading might be better. It takes 6-8 weeks to ordewr the Focus too.
I tried to sneak in keeping the '66 but she caught the fact that it still would cost us to store it for 6 months.....darn.
Anyway, thanks for listening....
