Hey all, I just wanted to get a quick take on this and normally don't post stuff like this. I have a deal locked on a car but, my hurdle is selling my Dakota Convertible that I've had for sale for since October at a great price. I've had some interest but, people talking about waiting after the 1st of the year. I think its just the time of the year as well. Anyways, my other hurdle is my wife. She says no other cars until I sell the truck but, the problem is this vehicle is option how I want it and it is local and I know what it is. There has been some interest in this car and I have until January to go through fully with the purchase.
In regards to my wife, I love and respect her. I've always did the wait until I have sold thing as asked. But, I had to settle for less (miss opportunities) in the options or condition department because of waiting for other vehicles to sell. Over the past year I've been helping/contributing my wife save money for a new car and save money in general. There has been times when I have helped her pay bills and she has done the same in the past for me. I will continue to help her but, I don't want to miss an opportunity as this will be the last old car I buy for a while and it's the only hobby I really have other than storm chasing.
My plan is to take out a small loan (unless the truck sells) and pay it off once the truck sells. This is a one time opportunity in my eyes and I've already missed enough opportunities. I still plan on selling the truck anyways but, I'm also trying to be a good husband but, I also know that if I miss this opportunity it will cost me more money in the long run due to traveling and then having to go back through another search which is a pain. I always support her in what she does and never complain because I know it makes her happy. Just wondering what everyone's thoughts is?
