what should i do

[Glenn Allen]

James,

You are right about some good value on Birds right now if you can
afford the maintenance and recurring expenses. Only you can decide
if
you should buy into the bird family. You have provided little
information aobut your plans so I'm limited in any advice I might be
able to provide. I am assuming you are planning on using the Bird
in the US. One issue might be your planned length of
ownership. I would not purchase a Bird unless I were planning on
several years of ownership (unless you are a dealer). You mention
that you desire to use the Bird while on furlough. Do you plan on
selling at the end of the furlough? Selling a Bird is not usually a
quick endeavor unless you price it well below market.

If you are purchasing a vintage bird, then you will need to plan on
a
repair budget and factor that by the amount of labor you will
provide. If you are purchasing a more recent bird, the repair costs
might be reduced (might), but the recurring maintenance will still
be
required.

I am by no means trying to advise against you purchasing a Bird.
Just
do so with realistic expectations and you will have a more enjoyable
Bird experience.

You can't go wrong with a Bird if it fits your circumstances.

BEST Regards,

Glenn
