Subject:Re: Financing Options

Dear Antonio -
please read this before you must enlist Portia to beg for your life - or at
least to the letter of the law -

Most of my life has been financed -
one singular item that was paid for in cash -
Vanagon Purchase -
The first was a trade for another car - a 1970 tin top - that i rebuilt and
even installed all the parts of a junk westie including tent top -
The second was Cash $$ the most I ever paid for a vehicle in my life - 20K
cnd $ 1989 5 speed Diesel California
The third was a replacement for that one after the 2009 crash - paid for
with $$ from Insurance settlement after 2009 crash -
This also provided $$ for the tire upgrade and - Fuel components upgrade
and then the subsequent motor RE & Re required on the way home ;( from
Chico -

That vanagon was later traded to people who really needed a vehicle and
were short on cash - (indeed they were losing their house) -
Their fortunes have turned around in the last 10 years and they have now
fully refreshed the van - paint - all the stuff - looks great -

Your purchase of a vanagon is the first installment of a long relationship
with a beautiful and capricious borrower of money and user of time and
parts and tools and space in driveway -

My friend i strongly urge you to do anything to raise cash to finance this
dream from your own pocket -
It goes also a little deeper than the initial purchase and that would be
insurance if you finance you have to insure the whole loan for full $$
amount - not just the basics PL PD -
This can make your insurance expensive - which is the silent running meter
on your ownership -

Lenders will always lend - heck you can get a loan from Title loans or a
pawn shop - I get an offer for thousands waiting for me nearly every week -
Money is cheap-  and plentiful like it has never been since the end of WWII

If you have great credit that means you must have cash in hand -
401K cash - investments - equity - some asset you can sell - a work
place loan at  low interest - Borrow from self

MY friend i strongly urge you to do this purchase under your own steam or
you will be saddled with a lien on a vehicle in your driveway that needs
another 2500$ worth of specialty tools and specialty parts to get ready for
summer adventures -

Dream big - and do it on your own -
