How much is a garage worth?

Exactly. My car was $38k out the door. I would never think of putting it thru salt, sand & rocks flying at it for 7 months Now my plastic bodied $7k out the door SUV can take the lickin I'd consider driving a used 2nd Gen or a low cost used 3rd Gen if I had to watch my gas money & sell my SUV. A Camry would be nice too

Around here a $600 vehicle would be standing in line at the crusher. Even a thousand dollar beater around here is something not to be relied upon in the cold weather. $2k will get a dirty stinky rusty beater that is good for a year or two. My SUV does double duty as a second summer vehicle as I don't drive my Prius in the rain or places where there is a potential for it getting dinged/damaged. It's a pavement/garage queen Back in high school I had a '70 C10 three in the tree 350 that I bought for 75 bucks and drove it a couple years. That was fun on the dirt roads The old Matador I paid 50 bucks for and drove it a couple winters I believe and later sold it for 60 bucks to the scrap yard after doing a bunch of reverse burn outs in downtown Minneapolis after all the forward gears didn't work. A buddy pushed me into the scrap yard with his Impala BTW, I'm heading to Grand Island later this week. Don't know where your at down there.

If you can buy a car for $600 that will suffice for winter. Buy it. Sell any other cars you own. This is as cheap as you can possibly get. Just drive it in the summer too. That is what I am saying. You can't cause more damage winter driving than the car is actually worth.

 

Well in my neighborhood a second garage is worth an extra $25K on the price of a home. Me, I would defiantly pay more for a garaged vehicle over a non.
