then take out your storage and maintenance expenses, and also think about the fact that if you can find a CD that pays you 3% a year, that $80k will be $350k in 50 years without needing to store a vehicle or take the risk that it depreciates. if you can beat that deal then go for it
THANK YOU!!!! Every time I see a thread like this I want to type this out, the problem is I'm too lazy.
