[QUOTE="Todd Z, post: 610968, member: 58941"] Here is my take... I got my 97 escort wagon for $50.00. I put $400.00 bucks into it to make it safe. My labor on all the work... The car costs $27.00 a week to fill up with gas. The Sport Trac costs $65.00 a week to fill up. I drive 320 miles to and from the office. Then I have a company car. HERE IS THE KICKER... The car cost $80.00 to register and inspect each year. WHEN I added the car to my insurance, since the ST is NOT my daily driver any more, my insurance WENT DOWN $40.00 a MONTH !!!!!!!!!!!!! OK SO by having a second car It cost me 450 car one time so far 80 reg ins year thats 530 out lay.. Minus 38 a week gas savings minus 40 a month ins savings NOT TO mention the mileage saved on the Trac!!!! [b]I have had the car 8 months now. ( 38*4)+40 = $192 SAVINGS A MONTH !!!!!!!! $530/192 SO in the first 3 months the car paied for it self and the last 5 moths i have saved Close to 900 bucks not driving the ST and owning 2 cars !!!!![/b] Todd Z [/QUOTE]
