Welllllll this is the problem. We already blew $40k on the JL, for similar reasons...we both really like it.D Griff wrote: ↑Tue Jul 07, 2020 10:17 amThis was how I justified blowing $40K on aDetroit wrote: ↑Tue Jul 07, 2020 10:13 am
Every time I go down the path of "saving money", I end up spending about the same in the long run.
If I let it go, I'd swap to the cheapest Wrangler 2-door lease I can get...~$350/mo all-in then supplement with aof some sort. This will just perpetuate the
cycle, and "cheap" trucks don't really exist much anymore. Stupid when the JT does everything I want in a single vehicle.
And since cheap trucks don't really exist anymore, the JT should hold its value pretty well. If the stock market ever reflects reality, it would probably be a safer place to park cash even.

It was the only "family" vehicle that we both were excited about, so cool. But it's a lot of cash. That said, looking at used pricing, it seems fairly low risk. I figure, worst case, if we are over it after a few years or want to save money, it should still be worth 75% after 50K+miles. Not great, not terrible. It cost about $10K in depreciation to drive a used Fusion 130K miles... The same price got me 40K miles in a new
. I think That will get us at least 75K miles in a
I am OK with this.

Having two $40k vehicles with similar purpose seems

Then there's the issue of even needing two vehicles in the first place. Hers still has less than 5k miles on it, I'm not going back to the office for the "foreseeable future" and she isn't even working...so two vehicles seems like even more of a waste.
