We could never get by with one vehicle with our different schedules. I don't golf, don't care for driving cart, and don't like being stuck at home all day w/o vehicle. Not traveling like we used to.
If you traded your GMC in for a compact Buick Envision you just stimulated the Chinese economy.

See that nifty Camaro several posts up? People were flipping out trying to figure out a way to put the money together at the dealer it was traded in at. The car was Beautiful but they marked it up for more than the book value and still, the youngins wanted it.

We have one or two cars. Whenever I see a deal I snag it have it detailed and dump it for W.A.M. There are a whole lot of beautiful cars wasting space in garages of people who unfortunately can't drive anymore. You have to act quickly cause I'm not the only one doing this now and then.

We basically have 1 Car and 2 Golf Carts.

Does anybody have an Old School Caddy Land Yacht hidden away and feel like selling it? Locally only. All cars kept at our home.

W.A.M. = Walking Around $$Money$$.

I currently have 5 vehicles parked in my garage and driveway. When/if we move to TV we will be downsizing considerably, as most residents do.

We'll need to think about what we'll bring with us and it is helpful to me to think through logistics like that before I actually start to look at properties.

I'm sure that I'll have some questions about furniture, too. Ex: what size bed for the MBR (will my King sized bed fit through the doorways), sectional vs couch + chairs, etc. I would imagine that these are all very common questions. Or at least I would think they would be.

I appreciate the helpful responses on this thread but, I will admit, I am a bit baffled by your concerns. If I were asking for names, addresses and safe combinations that would be different - trust me, I do not need more stuff than I already have!

We have dogs, so we require a fenced in yard. I'm leaning towards a 3 bedroom CYV at this point. This is all sight unseen. We haven't even visited TV, yet. Your answers have all been very helpful. Thank you!
with some CYV on the end you can add a golf cart garage for extra space

I rented a CYV this past winter and got fed up trying to get my sedan and golf cart both in the 1 1/2 car garage. Even the neighbors walking by tried to help but if I got both vehicles in, I couldn’t open the car door to get out! The drive was short and very sharply curved so I was running thru the edge of neighbors rock bed. There was guest parking a couple of hundred yards away and sometimes I left car there, but usually just left cart on drive. So now I’ve bought a 2 car plus golf cart garage and I’ll be happy!

My husband insisted that we sell the second car because we have the golf cart. We don't have problems that much but when we do I am the one who is supposed to drive the golf cart

We have a Lincoln SUV, a restored MGA, a golf cart and two bicycles. If the golf cart garage was just 18” deeper, we could park the MG there! Everything fits inside, with plenty of room to spare.

Can you park on the street during the day? What about over night?

Covid came along and we noticed we were driving a total of 50 miles per week.

So we are sharing one car until everything opens up and than we will buy a new car.
We will be starting a search for new car in a couple of weeks.
