[Investment Opportunity] Which option should I choose?
I’m presented with an opportunity to buy a car that’s worth $26k market value for $10k, $3k down, no interest, repayment whenever.
I currently own a 7yr old car w/105k miles that’s worth equal the $3k down. I also have a $16k education loan @ 6% which I’m paying monthly.
What option would you choose?
A. Keep own car. Sell the deal car at $26k, pocket $13k and invest in real estate. Continue to pay education loan monthly.
B. Keep own car. Sell the deal car at $26k, pocket $13k and put it all towards education loan. Continue to save lump sum for real estate investment.
C. Sell own car, pay $3k down and take the deal. Continue to pay down education loan while saving for real estate. Pay $10k for the car whenever.
