I would say find an accountant who is familiar with the type of business you intend to run. Hoblick is right, there are deductions and depreciation for everything. Knowing these inside and out can make thousands of dollars in difference. An example I can think of is sometimes at the end of the fiscal year it is "cheaper" to go out and buy a new widget then to pay significantly less to fix your old widget (I know vehicles and heavy equipment/machinery are often like this) because you can start claiming depreciation again. It's kind of messed up, but in the accounting world, sometimes it's BETTER to lose money in a transaction because of what you can claim against it.

I always remember the games I would play at the salvage yard - we were owned by a publicly traded, multi-national steel company that was SOX compliant, so we used the strictest of accounting. My physical inventory was a set dollar amount, and if that fluctuated, it would cost me money on the bottom line - even if it shrank, which seems counter intuitive. So come month end, I may tell my car buyer, "You need to spend $40,000 by Friday. Don't care how many cars you buy - hell, go to Krieger and buy a new Mustang for all I care, just spend it." Because by spending that $40k, I didn't take a $60k hit on the bottom line. Shit, I remember going into the auctions online and raising his bids while he was there live bidding. That kind of pissed him off... :-) Silly, but it's the way REAL accounting works.

Good looking car. That may be the kind of thing I look at when the Merc is done...

I take it you haven't lifted the hood on a 2006+ Civic? They no longer have timing belts, they use chains now.

I knew they changed over but I thought it was later (09ish?)

I'd be interested to try this...

I hate to play Devil's advocate here, but I see both parties as guilty in escalating things until contact was made. I think that's pretty much what Office Flapjack was telling you. Yes, he hit your car, but there was some provocation. It's kind of like yelling at a dude telling him to hit you and then when he does, saying, "Shit, that guy just punched me!" Just my opinion from the outside in, and not saying that I haven't been guilty of fucking with an asshole driver myself. I'd just get the mirror fixed and go about your business...

I would have already bought this if it had cruise control. Only 11K miles! Auto tranny and some good options.

I bet they would take 10K +TTL

She would have a car that would go another 190K miles & be cheap to operate & own.

Looks like a solid car if you want to be in $11k. Low miles, you clearly know what you'll get already having one. Looks cute. Checking all the boxes, but you'll shoot your wad...

I remember this commercial...
