Would you sell the Mustang to fund the purchase of said vehicle? If so, I'd recommend against it. You have a quick very unique car that has had much blood, sweat, and tears put into it. It probably isn't worth chit anyways
I don't know yet. It is certainly a possibility. While I'd love to keep it (and it is paid off), part of my deal with my parents concerning college is that they will pay for for my car insurance so long as I am in/doing well in college....for ONE car. They will not pay for another car. So if I kept the 'Stang, I'd have to pay the insurance on the another vehicle. It's not a whole lot, but it is to a student paying his own way through college.
I guess I'll just cross that bridge when the time comes.
good luck with that. Piece of advice from a wise old 29 year old
don't get married or have kids if you really want those things... I make damn good money for my age but having a family is f**king expensive. It's like $6000+/year for groceries (includes diapers and wipes), $3,000/year for medical expenses (my kids meds and Dr visits), $7500 for each year you have a baby (hospital charges for delivery, etc...), 401K (>$10K/year), health insurance is $3,600/year, house big enough to sleep all four of us is $18000/year (includes taxes and insurance), etc... then you add in car payments, car insurance, student loans, utilities, cell phones, and there really isn't much money left over for nice toys.... hell even going out to eat is expensive now. Wife and I could get a damn nice meal for $25-30 including alcohol. Now it costs us like $50 to go out to eat.
I am not really complaining because I chose to have a family instead of some nice toys. However, sometimes when I think about how much money I spend on this chit and the money we're missing out on because my wife works 1/2 days instead of full days so she can be home with the kids more, Jesus... I could have some DAMN fine toys!!! I'm talking Ski Nautique boat, a couple snow machines, a new truck, AND a fine toy (Boss 302, termi, etc...). *sigh*
Good news is I think we're done having kids, so by the time I turn 50 my two kids will be out of college and I'll hopefully be making some f**k you money that can be spent on some nice toys. I sure hope we still have performance cars running on gasoline in 20 years
Yea, I know, which is a lot of the reason why I'm doing my playing now. I'm single now, and don't have any intentions of getting into a big relationship real soon, but I know that can change very quickly.
