Keeping the Acura might work out best though. You'll take a huge hit on it if you trade it, might be worth it to just suffer through the payments and let the rugrats destroy it.
the acura is paid off. sure, it would be fine to keep, but the idea is to see if we can leverage 'total money we have wrapped up in cars' and end with with less of a note AND be paying on something with staying power.

So, you use the equity in one vehicle to pay the negative equity of another? :notsure:

Just a shell game, really.

dumb long and short game to play. always keep the paid vehicle. they aint gonna give you shit on trade. drive wheels off. it should last to the bmwabovewater trade time. then sell paid out vehicle private party and have down payment to new thing.

acura aint exactly a show car. it would be fine for kid hauling.

it's a big hole in a tiny budget.

At least if its in a van, its getting used everyday and has lots of utility.

I guess if you keep it forever, but :notsure:

I bet Chrysler is giving away Pacificas at this point. Would be a :notbad:

way to van.

My buddy has a side Miata, I think a Club Mini, and a Honda ... Lemme look.
Honda Odyssey I believe. He LOVES it because he can cram his 2 crotchfruits into it and not stress about cargo space, and gets decent mileage.
He had a Boss 302 for a while and yeah, strapping kids into that back seat and picking up McDonalds french fries constantly in your GLUG GLUGing muscle car gets old. Right tool for the right job. Minivans are lame as hell, but man, the quality of life improvement just to haul all your shit around will be worth it.
Same for my riding lawn mower. I regret not buying it sooner. The right tool can save you time and patience. Your back will probably thank you too as you're not having to lean over constantly to strap beings into carseats day in and day out.

dude you aint lying..... new for what 3 yr old 60k oddsey's are going for :mindblown:

I agree with Detroit. Pacificas are legit :notbad:

for what they are. Friends own a previous gen

Caravan with a first year Pentastar and they've had pretty much :alpo:

luck with it so far. They've taken it on several long driving trips plus dude uses it as his DD ( :disgust:

) Pacificas seem to be a nice upgrade all around, too.
