New Volvo VNL Released

Don't care.

I didn't care about Bruce, don't care about Caitlyn - but then again my money isn't in them.

I fully understand and accept the idea of being emotionally involved in your investment, and if that's your primary focus - you do you. However if I'm putting money into something, I care about the return - not the clout. One of the apartment buildings I own I actively hate, except for the money it puts in my account every month. I continually talk myself out of making renovations that wouldn't make me more money or the tenants more comfortable. But it would make me happier owning the building. It's a 6 unit, 2 x 2 bedroom, 2 x1 bedroom, 2 studio. I could make it into a 4 unit 2 bedroom, and end up with the same monthly rent after dropping a boat load of money into it - never to see any return.

 

Do the math and you might be surprised. Going from, say, a 6mpg truck to an 8.5-9 is a HUGE savings each year and will cover more of a note than you think.

I'm not condoning financing a new 200+ truck but fuel savings makes more money than most think.

 

He said 10% expected gain, which is probably wind tunnel testing; i.e. perfect head on conditions. So, 6 to 6.6ish, or 8 to 8.8. You suggested roughly 30% improvement.

 

$200,000 truck to haul $2 a mile loads.
Make it make sense

 

Lots of folks are paying 100k+ for super duty’s and duramax diesels

 

LOL at everyone who acts like someone doesn’t have any equity in what they currently own and has to come out of pocket for the full purchase price of a new truck.
