Suggest Allocation of Funding. 738 for a 95 volvo car

DK Dakota Kaiser Public Seen by 239

A dear friend named Jenna is willing to donate a very reliable, gas efficient vehicle that can carry many tribemates and a lot of stuff. She is asking for a portion of the value of the car back. It will cost us about 738 dollars.

I strongly recommend multiplying our assets by purchasing this vehicle. I am willing to steward the car until we find a greater purpose for it.

I feel it's valuable to have reliable vehicles available to different people.

I feel transportation is valuable.

A few questions:
How many miles?
Is there service records?
Does the total amount sought include registration or do you intend to exercise you right to travel?
If so do not register it and keep hold of the title.

I hear Ray and share his thoughts and at the same time its my assumption that the first 3000 USD come from a donation Dakota is giving to kickstart the process, so if he needs it I would change my vote.Biggest issue I see with share car is liability.

I feel it is not possible to make intelligent decisions of this nature without open access to the current cash on hand, and realistic future projected income. I don't think any cash should be spent until that happens. I am glad to contribute my time and energy to create an orderly financial plan.

With this position, I am not sure if I should abstain, or vote it down. If I were to vote it down, it is possibly only temporarily while we get a plan together. So I will not vote until I have clarity on which is most proper.

Additionally, as someone who operates are car club in our community in Albuquerque, I know there are a lot of factors to consider in creating a shared vehicle situation. Mainly, with us being a global group, what is the likelihood of people having access to the vehicle when needed. My understanding is that we already have at least one vehicle which Dakota will be picking up imminently.

I agree with Brett. Transpiration and housing especially during travel is key. That is a main issue with our team here in LA.

There is a team in LA? There is an issue with transportation regarding the team in LA? Since I am in LA now, I am most interested to hear more about how we might collaborate on win-win supportive alliances.
