Btw a loan on something doesn't mean anything. If I take $16000 in cash and buy a car then I can't use that $16,000 to do something else...like start my own business.

Picked up the Wife's new Elantra Limited, Tech package tonight.

VERY NICE vehicle for $24,000. The only features we may have wanted in a car in addition to everything it has is power seats (not sure why Hyundai skimped here) and air conditioned seats.

Anyone looking for a commuter this is a good vehicle to take a look at.

Very impressed and it gets 45ish mpg.

Wifey down, C7 for me to go

Now the money we were going to use to pay of the Rainier will be used to pay of the Corvette. Win Win for the wife and I.

It seems like you figured out what is best for you but I have to ask what kind of business are you running where you need a C7 even if you don't like it?

Ok, This is just my opinion, I would keep the Z and Vert for now and wait till the C7 comes out, There is no way I could put a deposit on an unknown, There are too many unknowns with the C7. This is just me.

Mr.Bill
My deposit is refundable and there is no contract. It is win win.

I have owned a boat for 4.5 years.

We have taken it out twice.

We are tired of having a wasted vehicle in order to tow a boat that basically never gets used. Again I could buy a $2000 beater truck to tow it, but why would I? We bought the Rainier and literally almost never used it. Not a smart decision to keep it.
