“sdrealtor I appreciate your perspective and comments and even agree with you sometimes (especially on this thread wrt reverse bidding war opinions), but that was an asinine comment !”
I think sdrealtor was just making a joke. But serious question for asinautica. You said you would buy a house 20K less, since that could make a difference to whether the kid went to a good college. Assuming you buy a house at a good price (not now) doesn’t it make more sense to do what sdrealtor is saying? At least the house has a *possibility* of appreciating at the rate of inflation over the long term. The car loses value the minute you buy it. Better to buy a honda civic or something like that and save 15K + the interest on it, no?
