THe home improvement signature loans were actually fairly decent rates. 5% on them.
I suppose there could be something else that comes up with selling the house, but the offer has been made, they buyers accepted the inspection as is and didn't ask me to make any fixes, and the appraisal just happened two days ago and the general feel from the appraiser at that time was that it would appraise for more or at the sell price. (will find out for sure in 2 days or so)
I'm not necessarilly in the "Have to do it NOW" boat, especially considering currently i am stuck in Southwest Asia for another couple weeks, but I understand what you are saying. I just figured would need to decide if I was buying a car before the middle of December since it takes a few months to ship a car over.
You are correct, I am Air Force. An NCO.
So from what it sounds like, I should sell the mini to a private party, pay off the rest of the auto loan with the funding from the house selling, and then pay off as soon as possible the two signature loans. Don't bother shipping a car to Europe, and instead just buy a cheap "beater" car there?
Also, I should note that the repairs to the car to every day drivers would not look like a big deal. I'm not hiding anything either, but most people would just sort of shrug at them. It needs a new horn. It needs a second key. It needs body on the front end (replace the front left fender and bumper) New windshield because of cracks. All these items I can live without fixing myself, but the shipping company says it won't ship it unless I fix them first (since they have been getting sued lately for vehicle issues they are rather uptight right now)
