Tony and Suzie see the need for a rugged all-terrain vehicle to transport participants and supplies. They would love to buy a Hummer, but it is just too expensive and too small for their needs, so they settle on a used Suburban. The cost of the Suburban is $12,000. The vehicle is purchased in late June and will be put into use on July 1, 2013. Annual insurance from GEICO runs $1,800 per year. The paint is starting to fade, so they spend an extra $3,000 to repaint the vehicle, placing the Great Adventures logo on the front hood, back, and both sides. An additional $2,000 is spent on a deluxe roof rack and a trailer hitch. They expect to use the Suburban for five years and then sell the vehicle for $4,500.
