Keep the Focus because you won't want to drive a work truck when you aren't working.

Buy a good used not very expensive truck to get the business started. Spend less than $10,000. Use that to get your business off the ground and when your business starts to grow and you get ready to expand your business that is the time to invest in a good heavy duty truck that will carry both crew and equipment.

If you do not know how to handle your cash or assets now, it will be very hard for you to operate a business.

How much capital do you have now? Do you have the cash to be bonded and insured? Do you have cash to buy landscaping equipment? Do you have the cash for initial salary of your staff when your revenue is not enough to pay them?

Why do you need a truck? Use what you have.

  • Car cuts out whilst starting a couple times and also because if being revved fully after starting? So yeah, it does that from starting cold i think. It has been suggested that its my Idle air control valve but i've cleaned that out and it still does it. Also replaced spark plugs. Its a Ford Fiesta 1998. However, it idles fine as soon as I've moved the car. So even when stopped it is fine as long as i have driven it since start up. The issues only happen on start up. Any ideas?
  • I have a 98 manual 4.2 v6 f150. The truck is in great condition and I don't want to sell it? The engine is on it's last legs and I was wondering if it would be worth swapping the engine with a new ecoboost v8 and switching to an automatic transmission. Any advice? Preferably from people who are familiar with Fords.
  • Inherited a car from a dead relative should I sell it or keep it? So I'm not really sure what to do with this but my grandfather had a 2014 Ford Escape base model. He loved buying a new car almost every other year until he got sick so his current car only has about 10 thousand miles. I already have a 2015 Honda Civic which isn't paid off yet but due to his death his car is. I was thinking I could sell it to help with my own debt but I feel guilty selling his car that he left to me. What should I do?
