In Bolivia, the junkyards will cut totaled cars in half, part out anything useful from the wrecked half, and weld half of another car with opposite-end damage to it. Paint it, and it's as good as new.

But if frice is four times, what are we gonna use for five times?

The ROI on cash is also 0% vs the 8-12 that an index fund would get you. 4.9% is still a pretty expensive loan.

If offroading isn’t the goal, he needs a scrambler. He can get a used one from Ducati or triumph in his budget; easy win all day long. Or he can be slightly more…
