Wow. You’ve owned a lot of cars for a 34-year old.
Not sure if a compliment, ha. I have 4 right now and 5 motorcycles. But these aren't all high end top tier and usually come to me as great deals and I fix them up. Sort of mechanical inheritance. I got the Ford Escape with 250,000 miles for $500 it was a 2015. I did a lot to it and have put 30K on it since. My Electric Hyundai is a $75 a month lease they were doing last year so we use it for commuting and hit the 10K a month mileage. every car I've had has some story to it. I've actually had two Golf Rs. They hole their value exceptionally well though. I pay $30 for the first one and sold It for 27 3 years later. This current one I paid $34 for and KBB/NADA still has it at 27K so I'll just hang on to it since depreciation isn't bad on them. I also have a very good local insurance agent who works with me because I bring cars out of storage and do changes on a monthly basis. We don't always have everything fully insured since most just sit around on a battery tender.
I keep threatening to my GF that I'm going to sell the 4 cars I have now and buy one nice new truck at some point. I am doing a lot of travel to dirt bike events and we're pulling the bikes behind our Golf Wagon.
