I’m just too cheap to take that depreciation hit.
One thing that is hot around here is “salvage” cars. They touch on that issue about resale value. They are a GREAT deal for someone like me who uses a car up. I actually just got a “mint” 2006 Chevy Silverado quad cab 4x4 for ten grand. It had been salvaged about three years ago (proved its reliability). I got it because our 13 acres is a plateau that you enter from the valley below. My driveway takes up up 80’ in the first 100 yeards or so.
Are you talking about flood cars?
There are thousands of Sandy cars on internet auction.
I’ve wondered if maybe the flood damage isn’t nearly as bad as reputed, because these days the electronics are pretty well sealed.
