Re: Help choosing

Car #1 - 98 mustang gt - 90,000 miles aftermarket black wheels 5 speed manual. $3000
car #2 - 2000 audi s4 - 216,000 miles well taken care of huge modification list including ko4 turbos. $6000
car #3 - 2000 audi s4 - 160,000 miles well mainted all service records. - $6,000
car #4 - 93 audi s4 - 180,000 miles, 2.2 inline 5 cylinder = bullet proof - $3000
This is difficult because the mustang is priced at such a great price, basically trade in value and extremely low miles.
but the audis are unreasonably nice cars, and the linked one probably has near 10k in modifications and the other one is well mainted. both audis which are also at a very good price.
basically what im looking for are votes on which is the best deal for the money and the best car to get out of it.
216,000 miles kinda scares me, where as 90,000 sounds awesome! and 160,000 vs 90,000 with a 3k price difference, hmmmmmm............... tearing my hair out lets hear some arguments!

Re: Help choosing

Something to consider - have you looked into what it will cost to insure any of those vehicles? Audi will probably cost more to insure. Plus, check to see whether the Audi requires premium fuel. Repair costs on the Audi are also going to be high should anything happen.

Don't get me wrong, I'm honestly not a giant Audi fan, but when you're comparing 2 totally different vehicles (domestic/foreign, sedan/coupe, etc.) it makes for a very hard comparison.

And finally, it's YOUR car! Pick what you think you'll be happiest with!

Keep us posted with your decision!

Re: Help choosing

Easy decision for me...I don't fit in Mustangs, so that's out.

#4 : 93 is too old. Engine's good, but what about the rest of the car and parts availability? Plan on lots of maintenance. Out.

Of the last remaining, #2 is heavily modified and has almost 60k more on it. It's possible it has been meticulously maintained, but it's also possible it has been to the track a whole lot, which doesn't speak well for longevity.

Winner: #3. Least miles of the cars I'd fit into, and meticulous maintenance records.

Help choosing

I am working on a project for my company that has to deal with mapping out all our suppliers on a geographical map. Our objective is to be able to see and spot all the areas and regions where we have a heavy concentration of our suppliers. We also want to incorporate our annual spend into the map and be able to see where we are spending the most money. We have over 1300 suppliers that are both domestic and international. However, the bulk of the suppliers are mostly all located in the US.

Our list of suppliers are currently on an excel file that we were able to compile. Can anyone give us an idea as to how we can use amMap to help us achieve the goals of this project and how we can get started? That would be very much appreciated. Thank you

Auctions generally held to sell out property in possession of government in order to make some money out of it. This thought can help you in buying of car or any other assert less than market value. These auctions are organized all over the world which openly invites participation.
