No Auto Plan Means No Auto Plans
Is this the year you have to purchase your next car? If your answer is I don’t know or you’ve not given it much thought, it’s time you did by creating a facilities plan. You can do this easily by requesting a family plan binder at Kerry A. Clark & Co.
Every good plan is like a recipe. Instead of baking a cake or making that favorite dinner dish, you can have a recipe for your automobile needs and desires. If you’re going to do it [take care of your auto needs] anyway, why not make the best out of it by using a plan. In other words, if you’re going to have to buy a car or incur auto expenses why not put a plan in place to make the best of it.
Pamela and I decided long ago that we didn’t want to be on just any course, but one we set. And because we made plans, even our bad purchases don’t keep us off the course we’ve designed.
Every Now and Then You Get Some Bad Eggs
With every good recipe, you’ll need to make sure you have some good ingredients. For us our financial circumstances made it easy to have a bad egg or two. In this case, we purchased a lemon. Our plan was not to get in any more debt so that we could be in a better position to purchase a home. However, Pamela needed a car; we were borrowing one from our brother. We searched and looked online and we found a Jeep Grand Cherokee. We paid cash for that vehicle. Oh happy day, was the song we had on our lips. That car was so good to us; it seemed perfect. It wasn’t a good nine months and the problems started. We eventually had a mechanic tell us those words you hate to hear…this car needs an engine. It’s condition worsened , but by this time our plans had begun to make some significant improvements in our life. Let me stop and say that planning works.
We found a dealership that had a fully loaded Camry for sale and it was the right price for us. After I finally got the Jeep running and I mean I wasn’t sure how long it would run, I didn’t stop at all until I made it to that car lot. Running red lights and through stop signs. That Jeep was in bad shape. I told the salesman we’d like to trade it towards the Carmy. I didn’t care if he had only gave us a $1 for that car. It wasn’t going back home with us because we’d decided there must be a better way.
A plan makes it possible.
I tell you this story because many have similar situations happen. What if you didn’t have to live with a subpar car or just an average automobile. What if you had reliable transportation? If you had a plan that could be possible.
After the Jeep, we decided to update our plans. Never again will we have unreliable transportation. A part of our plan includes being able to afford taking our vehicles to the dealership for all proper repairs. We’d done the shade-tree mechanic thing and it wasn’t working for us any longer. We discovered what nolongercommon.com means by “ordinary is no longer enough.” What plans do you have for what and how you drive?
Today is Friday!
Planning is so simple. All you need is pen and paper. It’s even better when you have a bad experience and you’re so motivated to never be in that situation ever again. With a plan, even your auto needs can improve. I know ours did and it all started after we paid cash for a lemon. No it started when we drafted a plan.
