OK, I have a 1995 chevy truck with a camper. It gets 22 mpg, but its starting to lose oil and has a radiator leak somewhere in the system. But I own it free and clear, and I am a musician so it’s great for hauling my instruments on the rare occasion that I play out. It’s worth about $3,500 – if only because of the national and Texas cash-for-clunkers programs.
But I adore motorcycles, and my husband brought up the idea of selling my truck and buying a used motorcycle for about $2k, with a net profit from the sales, and then saving on gas and insurance.
So, do the potential cost benefits (and the fun) of riding a motorcycle outweigh a decent truck that I already have that is starting to have mechanical problems? I can’t make up my mind and it’s driving me NUTS! Help!
If you have other means of hauling your instruments around, then get the motorcycle. But if you really need the truck then keep it. I’d rather get the motorcycle though.
Montana has so many different types of land sales to choose from, there shouldn’t be any trouble finding what you are looking for. The prices will fluxuate a lot depending on where you are in the state or what town you are close to and how big the town is.
Ranch land and farm land in montana are both for sale in montana. There isn’t to many people that can afford these because they usually won’t break them up into smaller and more affordable sizes. Montana land for sale can be found all over the state. There is a lot of land down through the middle of the state. The biggest problem that most people find with this land is that it is so far to get to a bigger town where there is a good job. These parcels of land are better for retired people that don’t mind living and hour or so from a shopping center or the other things that are found in the bigger towns.
Eastern montana land is very different from the land in the western end of the state. The eastern end of the state is fields and rolling hills with cotton wood trees near the water sources. You have to be careful when you are buying here because there is alkaline in the water in some of the places. Western montana is mostly mountains and huge pine trees, lot of this land is real hard to do anything with because the mountains are so steep.
Land for sale in Montana is abundant and offers some great smaller lots. Like hunting land for sale. There are a lot of people that can’t afford to buy enough land to have there own hunting land. The best alternative for this is to buy a small parcel near a good hunting area and put a cabin or small house on it, or just keep it for setting up camp. You can find this kind of land anywhere there is a national forest area. One really good place that offers this and a good fishing lake is near the small town of Troutcreek Montana on highway 200. The lake is part of the Clark fork river and the lots that for sale are just on the other side of the road from it. There is a boat dock in Troutcreek. This land could also fall under the recreational land category because of the nice lake. The land is near Glacier National Park so the snow cap peaks are in view on some of the lots.
Montana land is some of the most popular when it comes to people looking for a place to get away. It is also a great place to buy investment properties because of this fact!
Montana land is being sold and the people are turning it over again and again, driving prices up. If you want land in Montana for recreation, the best and least exspensive is to get farther away from towns and other popular places like ski resorts. I wish you good luck in finding your get away spot.
