Ugh, getting up to go be on a roof in an hour.
I have to put in an ac system...
At least you'll be making more money. Have fun.
I have to hit the road and drive home from Oklahoma....would have been on the road 2 hrs ago if it wasn't for the family dragging ass
That house I was at this morning probably needed you. We were looking for a roof leak and everything was tight and correctly installed. I just happened to look over the edge and saw a drain pipe just above the second story window. I asked if they had a humidifier and they did. I told them they needed to contact an HVAC guy.
After some basic calculations, I should be saving quite a bit of money with my car switch.
I project that the Xterra would cost me about $40,500 to own for the next 5 years (9,500 depreciation, 11400 gas, 15000 still owed in payments, 2500 insurance/registration, about about 2200 in tires and maintenance).
I project that the new car will cost me a maximum of $22,800 to own for the next 5 years (2,000 depreciation, 6600 gas, 4400 total purchase price+registration, 2200 insurance/registration, and an estimate of 5800 for tires and maintenance).
The Xterra numbers above are pretty accurate, but I priced everything for the new car pretty liberally. Depreciation, insurance, and registration will probably be a bit less than the numbers above, and I don't expect to dump $1000 every year on broken stuff... but even if I spend $2000 a year on unexpected maintenance, I'll still be about $13,000 ahead after 5 years. And all that is assuming that nothing would break on the Xterra and just about everything would break on the new car.
Test drove an '05 Odyssey today with 98k on it. They sold the one with 83k last week. Have an appointment to have it looked at by a mechanic on Monday.
