Locate an Auto Repair Shop in Rockland, Delaware

Here is my thought on this. The CRV EX-L WITH navigation is listed for $30,675.00. The residual from what I understand is 60% on this trim line ($18,405.00). I am not sure what the exact MF is here but its def under 2%. If you do a 36 month lease with 12k a year, your monthly payment with no Cap Cost Reduction (no money down) should be around $270 per month based on the lease formula. What is due to the dealer is: First months payment, sales tax in advance, Doc, DMV fees/Tire Fee, Acq fee plus tax. So basically, you have to pay the dealer (at least here in NYC area-Long Island, Westchester, Rockland) around $1930-$1980 to drive the car away. You are still not "paying any money down" here since there is no cap cost reduction. If the Gross Cap cost of the car is $27,600-$28k-in that range, your payment should be in the $270 range. If I am missing something in my calculation, feel free to chime in.

She is sooo ready for high school to be over though - The amount of pressure, work, and stress put on today's students is INSANE. My wife and I recently saw a movie entitled "The Race to Nowhere" that documents students' bouts with anxiety, depression, & how they are just plain burnt out. Google "Race to Nowhere." Very interesting. One thing brought up in the film is how High School used to prepare students for college, now it just prepares students for their college application. My older son will be starting kindergarten in the fall. We just had a meeting with his pre-school teachers who basically told us that "Kindergarten is the new 1st Grade." Much less play time & more school work. He will be attending public school. If it were not for the incredible help of my Mom & wife's Mom, we couldn't make it. Her Mom drives from Long Island to Connecticut every Monday to watch my boys so my wife can work. My Mom drives from Rockland County, NY to Connecticut every Thursday for the same reason. The rides themselves aren't bad at normal times (45 minutes to my parents, 55 minutes to hers), but during rush hour it takes them 1.5 to 2 hours depending on weather & traffic.

I'm from Rockland County. In 1960 there must have been NOBODY there. My parents' 1st house was in Nanuet. When I was 6, they moved to New City.

back in 1960, my parents (and sisters, I was not around yet!) moved to a new house in a suburb of NYC (rockland county, about 20 miles north). Apparently they ruined the neighborhood, because they got nasty notes (not sure exactly how many and the format or severity, so may not have qualified as "death threats"). But, very clearly they were not wanted there, being the "wrong kind" of people. I know this was not uncommon in those days, but the odd part is that we were WASPs (as in DAR eligible). then again, most everyone else in town was Irish, and most of them seemed to be NYC cops.

Actually, he is right, I didn't have half of that much maturity when I was in my 30s. I truly wish I knew then what I know now. Thanks so much driver. I appreciate your high compliments. Most of my maturity (at least when I post here on edmunds - LOL) stems from my high patience level & values in general. I've learned in my 34 years & 11 months of to truly appreciate what I do have. My wife, my 2 boys, my parents, my sister, her husband, my nieces & nephew, my job, our home, & 2 mechanically sound cars that start up every day. We have an amazing support system. My mother-in-law drives up from Long Island to our home in CT every Monday to watch our boys. My Mom drives over from Rockland County, NY to our home in CT every Thursday to watch our boys so my wife can work & we don't have to pay for daycare or a Nanny. I work for my Dad & see him 6 days a week. I knew all 4 of my grandparents, 2 are still alive. My Grandfather (on my Mom's side) is 87, still drives, works (even though he's not supposed to), & lives on his own (In Pittsburgh). My Grandmother (on my Dad's side) is going to be 94 at the end of April. She still lives on her own, walks without a cane or walker, & comes into work 3 days a week. I even knew 2 of my Great-Grandparents.
