Not much different than owning a Mercedes in most of the country.

We kinda get it that it's not the perfect vehicle for you.
I think $5 would cover it.

Except I can find an independent to work on it in a pinch.

There is no perfect vehicle. They are all lacking something. Like I said, If I have an outlet at my office building, it might be ok for a salesman who drives to the places he has to go to for the day and park and charge at night. For a personal vehicle, there has to be comparable convenience levels and this certainly isn't it. If it breaks on my salesman, he has his own personal vehicle that he can use at $0.56 a mile out of my pocket. The rest of the time, I can write it off taxes (I think). Probably have to work something out with the building for "gas" money. It is too much money for a general purpose vehicle, at least for me. For a specific purposes, it is a candidate because of the toys.
