And it's easier to take advantage of any free furniture, etc, you spot when you can snag it right then. Plus - it's not a forever decision. You can try having a car for a year and if you decide that actually no it isn't quiiite worth it, you can always sell it at that point to recoup some of your expenses.Bethanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10009341102547439218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1300660817354328186.post-64963587131943537362020-09-20T19:41:00.579+00:002020-09-20T19:41:00.579+00:00Do you have citicar (car sharing) in your area? th...Do you have citicar (car sharing) in your area? they're relatively cheap and very convenient. access to pick up/drop off and payment terms are much easier than a regular rental.<br />They don't charge more during vacation or peak times either.kasayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08617566723228094788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1300660817354328186.post-33757078974748298022020-09-20T12:48:42.201+00:002020-09-20T12:48:42.201+00:00Do you think someone around you would be interesst...Do you think someone around you would be interessted in sharing a car? Maybe this will be easier then doing it alone! (Of course it would have to be someone close and with different time-needs as you, but MAYBE there is someone. :))<br />And I agree that Corona has made it quite difficult without a car.

Often, I have the option of taking the bus (nearby) to the grocery or to church (bus lets me off nearby). <br />Having said that, COVID has changed things. Bus = more germs = more sickness! One of my neighbors has been making (albeit expensive) face masks for the last six months, which I freely hand out to anyone who visits me. <br />I support your plan to buy a car!Marianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01358592784521667437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1300660817354328186.post-68704844001331925722020-09-20T05:56:29.267+00:002020-09-20T05:56:29.267+00:00I'd say go for it, if the numbers add up.

As you say, your time is very precious. <br /> We were carless for years, living where public transport is good, but then moved to somewhere without good public transport where a car was a necessity. Our car is not flash and is no bigger than we need but I've been grateful for the freedom to go on trips etc. In my country second hand car argordonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18132603013738117937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1300660817354328186.post-6316728324982748532020-09-19T21:51:55.219+00:002020-09-19T21:51:55.219+00:00Praying that you find that car.

No more needing to ride a bike 40 minutes. No more slogging through the rain. I mean, these things still happen, because it's my husband's car and he's often at work, but if we plan things properly it's much, much easier.<br /><br />I've even Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15177864294778546164noreply@blogger.com
