Not trying to be too rough on Geo. I don’t like salesmen that can’t answer simple questions. Or won’t. I don’t shop as a hobby. ( Maybe here, as an educational tool. Although there has been discussions at home about buying a Transit or Straight truck to hobby truck. Relax, I won’t truck cheap.)

If I were to buy a new Sprinter ready to do the Expediting thing, what would one cost ? What kind of financing would I see with mid 800 credit score and 20% down ? What would I pay on an unlimited mileage lease for same van ? Total over the full term, and monthly. How much would I have to...

You woke up too late to go ice-fishing ? I thought In Michigan April would define too late.

I asked someone how WOM was doing. He said swimmingly.

I’ve only dealt with class 8 trucks, but when comparing used, all things being equal, I have a value per year difference and a value per mile difference. On a van I would recommend that if you couldn’t throw a dime per mile, every mile, onto the payoff I would say this isn’t something you should...

If you’re putting on 150,000 miles per year I hope you pay it off in 3 years. Or less.

Since power train and emissions carry a 100,000 mile warranty, you’re only getting 75,000 miles extra coverage on those. I also would pass.

What’s the base warranty ? Can you bank that money and have it available for repairs in the future ? Can you roll that warranty into purchase price ? If so, the interest rate may factor into my decision.

No ice fishing ? My kind of lake. If I want to be cold I can go sleep with my ex-wife.

T-Hawk. Funny. I’m surprised that you said that.

Both stalls were full.

For those younguns that don’t know what a Detroit is, it’s the engine that coined the phrase “ fill the oil and check the fuel. “

I looked up the kbb value of a 400,000 mile Sprinter. Hmmmm. Each December I would let CIS know the value of my vehicle and adjust my coverage accordingly. It’s good to get a realistic value so you can plan . Unless you plan on getting buried in the van, you’ll have to deal with the value...

A nickel per mile, all miles, would have been $20,500 in a replacement fund. Hard to do, and harder to keep your mitts off of if you are able to do it. Not a bad idea to marry a Dutch girl if you get the chance.

Wow, at least you have a happy ending. What may be missed is that if you weren’t in a position to trade, or didn’t want to trade, you needed $14,000 to continue in a 400,000 mile Sprinter.

And cash out the stereo, you’re not going to hear it anyway.

Check in from time to time, or daily. I’m sure people are interested to see how this works out.
