With the 4th of July holiday comes sales. I've been taking advantage of some of them to buy stuff I will need as my house is being built (wire mostly, 15% off at monoprice, woot woot). But now I have a choice to make and I am wondering what you guys would do... I will need a new refrigerator in January (left the old one with the old house), and I already have the money set aside for it. Right now, I can get it for $1000 off. It's possible that it will go on the same kind of sale between now and January, but then it's also possible that it could go up in price before then, or the next sale isn't as good on this particular one. It's the same model I bought before, and I was happy with it, and I really don't care about the crazy new technology of having cameras in the fridge, or big touch screens on the door. All the other appliances are Whirlpool gold series, so I am pretty set on staying with that brand as well as the model. I also have the space in one of the rented garages to store it, unopened so that it doesn't get damaged. The garage is unheated, and this winter it will likely get well below freezing out there, but that shouldn't be an issue for a brand new fridge. So the upsides: Guaranteed to save $1000 (plus another $100 by using the Lowes credit card). Peace of mind that one more item is checked off the list of things to do (it's a long list, lol). The downsides: #1 is warranty. I would have half the regular warranty by the time I plug it in. #2 would be the cost of moving it a second time (not huge considering I will be paying movers anyway). #3, the possibility of physical damage I can't see until I unbox it. And #4, the possibility that they could come out with a better model for cheaper right before I need it. |

As long as someone else is moving it, just get it bro and don't let your boy near it. Dance with the devil you know, you'll always compare a different model to what you "were happy with and could have had" |

I would just wait for the Presidents' Day sales once you have the house. |

Storing it seems like asking for trouble to me. Takes like 5 minutes to get the fridge once you actually need it. |

Does Lowes offer an extended delivery schedule/Layaway for XMAS ?? -- perhaps you could order it now and have it delivered when you are ready - or pay for the layaway so that the final payment is when you are ready - That would also get around the warranty as IIRC they start on the delivery date. |
