Yeah I just can't bring myself to buy a new car.The car insurance,car payment,depreciation just makes new car one of the worst investments ever.Some of my friends say "But I have to have a brand new car so I have reliable transportation to get to work".It's a cop out and there are plenty of cars not brand new that will work.People want to justify making bad decisions.I am a car guy myself and my first business was a car audio shop so I can fix most of the stuff myself.My brother also owns a used car dealership and can get me awesome cars at the private auction for cheap.What I care about is the mechanicals.The paint and interior is cheap to redo.I look in the paper sometimes at new cars and can't believe the prices they are asking.If you bought a new car it's like someone beating you up and taking thousands of dollars once you drive off the lot.If you want a newer car you look for the sweet spot of under 50k miles that is 2 to 4 years old.Those vehicles have depreciated hard but still have a lot of miles on them to go and you can still get good financing.Those vehicles go fast so you have to be ready to act.I have always wanted a Ferrari but I think it would be cheaper sometime just to rent one for a few days and get it out of my system for awhile.

So some making a fast buck trumps all other.

If you take on a bunch of inventory that isn't saleable you can lose your shirt real fast.

The last month of the summer we were working as fast as we could and I wasn't tracking the numbers until all the younger boys got in school.I didn't know I could sell it occupied.

The typical investor rules are fantastic with regard to risk (markets can move fast) but they do not have an adjustment factor for historically low rates.
