You could buy one car (a very nice car) with the cash you get from the sale of the property, or you could use the cash flow to finance or lease a new car every few years for the rest of your life.

@Cara Lonsdale - I think your way of thinking is a lot more along the lines of what I have experienced in the past@Tom Parris - I never thought she was doing anything wrong, and have been happy with the service thus far, I think I am just more used to a bit more direction, but I appreciate your feedback, and totally hear what you are saying.
