Getting closer to shopping time. My son wants the crossfire for $7500 (plus he wrote off the 500 I owed him) and I put my 01 sentra on craigs list for $3550.

After setting $ aside for heating oil "gulp" I feel 9k is going to put me in a good position. Thankfully Im blessed with a job at an auto collision repair shop so body/rust repairs wont be an issue and my buds are good mechanics so I feel a little more at ease about down the road issues.

Looks like I keep the harley

BTW Gas has jumped 25/30 cents in my area this last week alone. Now 3.88 is the deal to look for with 3.98 looming around the next weekend!
