It's all about the tires!!!!!!!
 
True. I'm in NW Jersey and our driveway was a sheet of ice this morning. I had the choice of my '99 Volvo s70 fwd with a set of Blizzaks or my '04 Dakota 4x4 Pickup with its allseason tires. Decided on the Volvo and did not have any problems. Also, the volvo has heated seats and lives in the garage while the pickup was covered in ice!
 
I love the blizzaks, esp since I was able to pick them up on eBay for $44 for a set of 4 on steel rims w/ hub caps. I looks like the prev. owner only used them sparingly as they appear brand new.

Where in NW Jersey? loads of my family is up there!
 
Yeah, you got a load of ice today. We are down below the ice line so we're just wet.

Randolph, right in the middle of Morris county. It had turned to rain by the time I left and the major roads weren't bad. Kids had a 90 minute delayed opening.

"...many people will expect that price or they won't go in the future..."
 
A problem every business owner shares with car sale people. If they grind at the dealer, they'll grind everywhere.

It sounds like jonagong's restaurant is in my neck of the woods and this is one tough,competitive area to be in that business. Only the strong survive.
 
My advise for what it's worth would be not to skimp. People don't mind paying more if the quality is there.

"Sorry no offense intended..."
 
No offense taken. I am a little concerned that you wish to conduct two careers simultaneously. Years ago, my brother was in the restaurant business. He was on site 18 hours a day for the first three years. It was a grueling experience for him. Based on what I have learned here, many of these guys are selling cars 12 and 14 hours a day. It would seem next to impossible to do both.
 
I must say that you seem very mature and ambitious to be 21. I'm sure that you will do well, no matter what choice you make. If you listen to our regulars such as Moo, Isell, Boom, Driver, etc., you will amass a wealth of knowledge. The best part is that you can trust their opinions. Bon Appetite!

I know it sounds crazy, but I'm still sitting on the fence. There must be a reason for this. They say that old folks begin having trouble making decisions. I was pretty much ready to go until I began reading these posts about SC, side airbags, and finding out that Black Clearcoat brings top dollar. I certainly don't want "buyer's remorse" on my record...been there, done that. I'm going to let the Man Upstairs guide me through this. He always does.

I have a guy living in my attic too - I thought I was the only one!
 
If you don't HAVE to have a vehicle right now, then there's no rush to make a decision you might regret, especially on such a major purchase.
