Cheaper.
Our current situation is we own two cars that I dont know how to drive. A 98 Firebird and a 2000 or 2001 Lancer. We still owe money on both cars.
I need an automatic car. Due to me being hormonal and such, I dont want to learn to drive a stick right now, but as soon as I have the baby and return to normal, Gid leaves for basic. So I need an automatic.
I am looking for a car that has lower miles, a big backseat and good trunk space. I found a 2002 Hyundai Santa Fe for 8k, 61k miles, nice looking, like it was well taken care of.
But with these other payments on the other cars we would be trading in, we would get less for the cars than what we owe. So we tack that onto the Santa Fe payment.
He wants me to get a lower priced car, but the miles are much higher (135k) and I dont want to get a car that will shit out on me after a month and I am stuch without a car again.
The payments on the car (small backseat and not enough room in the trunk for a stroller) would b much lower, but the SUV would be a better fit that I think we can deal with since we are trading both cars in and the payments for the SUV would probably equal the amount we are currently paying on both cars.
That got long and probably didnt make too much sense.
