<p>[QUOTE=&quot;imrich, post: 2931850, member: 22331&quot;]In my opinion, Smart Man!</p><p><br /></p><p>In 1990 I bought a relatively very expensive new Toyota Previa AWD van, since then a AWD 1992 Previa (ten years later), and recently a 2000 AWD Sienna. My purchased new 1990 Toyota with the auto oil feed, timing chain 4 cylinder van has NEVER had a &quot;tune-up&quot;, or a replacement drive component (belts replaced once, brakes &amp; exhaust twice, tires 3 times), 200K+ miles, hardly any body, but runs like a top. My normal daily mileage in the past was ~150 miles.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve purchased several new American cars to please others, but found I didn&#039;t want to spend that much time in repair shops, so I have a large collection of relatively low mileage American cars, and high mileage Asian cars.</p><p><br /></p><p>My attitude, which has generally never failed me in equipment, is to save before and after by buying quality.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have a zero credit rating, and no money in institutionalized savings.</p><p><br /></p><p>I found that the nicest Silver coins can REALLY turn ugly over a half century, seemingly regardless of how they&#039;re stored. My collection of classic 90% Gold are seemingly beautiful today as when purchased, having been/are great treasures. They&#039;ve also been a wonderful investment, although virtually every one took some time to save the purchase cash payment. I then found that many coins are viewed before a purchase, and like my equipment/home, quality is viewed/acquired.</p><p><br /></p><p>I chuckle some when I hear individuals state they can&#039;t afford Gold coins, as I&#039;ve traded/graded up almost my entire Gold collection to currently generally nothing but 1st tier TPG certified classic and Proof modern. My ugly Silver coins are being sold as &quot;loss leaders&quot; to acquire certified classic Gold or top grade Gem CAC Silver coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Have Patience and be rewarded.</p><p><br /></p><p>JMHO[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
