No drama - just problem solved.

Just fyi

Whoops, jumped in a bit late on this thread.. Didn't see I was responding to an older post... Diesel vs gas..

Carry on. Lol

Wow, that must have been 50 pages back. [Shock]


I got about 15.2 mpg in my Xterra. Hopefully my new car will get between 23-28.... BUT, something I didn't consider is that I'll need to put premium gas in it, so that adds about 5-10% to the price of gas, depending where you are. Even cheapskates recommend premium in this car. Bummer.

On a similar note, our debt level has now reached $500 at 0% interest, not including the mortgage, on which I'm several years ahead.

And don't anyone think I'm being hoity toity. I have next to zero savings and retirement, so I had to make an extreme life change over the last few years. Things are looking up!

I'll still give you hell about a HELOC. Nothing is worth putting your home at risk. If you can get out of debt, (which I know you can and basically already have) why not just save up to buy what you want instead of borrowing and paying a "stupid tax" (interest) on it? And why the heck would you sacrifice your house as leverage for it???

I'm not really risking anything since I can afford the payments. I realize how that sounds. Realistically, I'd transfer the amount to a credit card for a one time transfer fee and comfortably pay down the balance interest free in a few months. I can't borrow the car forever, is the reason for not being able to save up 100% of the purchase price. I'll be halfway there by next Friday.

I'm going off the rails on a crazy train

Bob Dole is with me

Great, all this car talk and now my repair issues are adding up...
