[DML] Re: Lost all hope

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Not exactly the story you wanted to hear, but:

I am currently supporting my DeLo on 14K annual unemployment benefits.
Even though the car was purchased while still employed, I wasn't in a
position then to save its price beforehand (was financed at 4% --
nearly 3% after tax benefit). Inital 2002 purchase: $7,500. Total
investment through 2004: $11,000 (includes $1,000 engine/exhaust
conversion). If you're judicious, ownership is indeed possible even on
a limited income. 

Moreover, I recently met an owner who actually purchased his car while
unemployed, and is so supporting it still. 

Regarding ongoing costs: the DeLo is indeed the most expensive vehicle
in my stable, but its administrative costs
(insurance/taxes/registration/inspection) are only $44 per month.
Expensive repairs now are virtually non-existent. The car is reliably
driven as regular transportation at least once per week (the only
reason it is not a "daily" driver is because I have other vehicles in
service rotation). Note that several owners on the List do use their
DeLo's as a sole means of transport.
