Some Friendly Opinions Needed...

Okay so Craig and I keep having this decision and we can't decide what to do. I'm posting this to see what other people think and their opinions. So please leave a comment or email AmandaJo1485@hotmail.com to see what your take is.

So last year in May Craig and I bought a Kawasaki Brute Force 650 4 Wheeler for killer deal. We've enjoyed it a lot and have paid down our loan on it. We currently owe $2,300. Maine is a big 4 wheeling state so we know we would enjoy it here, but since Jaycee has come along she's isn't old enough to take. We keep thinking about selling it for about $4,500 to make some $ and get out of debt. But on the other hand, it will be paid off in about a year and when Jaycee is a little older she'll love having it. Also we hear in Oregon they also are into 4 wheelers and trails. But it would be nice to make almost $2,000 to put towards Craig's truck and Christmas and plane tickets. Hmmmm...such a tough decision. When we bought it we were in a totally different situation, and then Craig's hours & pay got cut. We've debated selling it a lot, but then we go play. Another thing is we can't take it camping anymore because we don't have a trailor to carry it. So when we do take it, we load it up in the truck, hence leaving no room for camping stuff. It's all decked out including a hard seat for passengers, saddle bags, hand warmers, wench, feet pegs for passengers, throttle extender, and a cover. In 10 years from now when our kids would enjoy it, I don't know if we'll be in the situation to buy another one because by then hopefully we'll be living in our dream house with a nightmare mortgage....ha ha. I'm torn on what to do....

  1. Hmm...sounds like a tough one! But I'm not big into 4 wheelers, so if it were me I would sell it! :)

  2. I would keep it. In the long run you will wish you had it for when you do get a trailer. I am big fan of out door things.

  3. Keep it. Because when you do sell it you will realize how much you REALLY loved having it! And I am with you when you get older and the family gets bigger money will be tight and you will never buy it because something ALWAYS will come up. Tough decision!
