Have you priced a new replacement? That made it an easy decision to keep mine forever. A bit of money every year or two is nothing compared to those payments.

You know, you say that buuuuuut. I started thinking on it more. My trans pump is on its way out. Might be a month, might be a year, who knows....but lets say I sell my honda. It's 400 bucks a month....I put about 4 tanks of fuel in, @ 2.30ish, @13gal so about 120 bucks a month in fuel. Keeping in mind I do drive the burb ALSO, I put in another 80 bucks or so in fuel, per month in there. So, my tanks yield the same amount of driving, about ~400 miles. But the burb is about 36 gal, at that same 2.30 is 331 bucks a month, plus that original 80 that I was already putting into it, so 410 per mo in fuel. That quite literally my car payment. Might as well keep the honda, I'm not really saving anything outside of insurance costs....

I thought you meant before buying another one. They definitely are not economical on fuel but if you have a use for a big vehicle, that's ours of choice. We need a good cargo area for our needs, so we stick with it. We use the gas miser when the space is not needed.

According to our tax assessor, the Tahoe is better than investing in stocks.

Yeah, I was juggling a few ideas...One was sell everything, buy something cheap and reliable.......the other idea, the one that I was referencing here was sell the honda, keep the burb........nothing written in stone at the moment. Lots of things in flux in my life too. A few months ago, I didnt 'need' the burb, and I was trying to sell it, and I sold my 18' 12k# trailer.....well what did I do not too long ago? bought some commercial mowers and want to mow lawns come spring....so I need it again! Grrr. I know, just rambling on this one.
