Absolutely the way too go. With inflation on the rise there is no sense in hold ing a lot of cash. Pay shit off and get the rest invested.Had 60 mos on my Mazda. Paid it off in 27 mos iirc. Hate owing.

Which engine?I'm doing it mostly knowing my wife's car isn't going to last a long time without potential for major money repairs. This way, as long as nothing happens in the next year or less, we might only have a single car payment. While her car only has 74k miles, it is still a 2009 Nissan Rogue that we have already spent probably about 1500-2500 on in the last few years on. Granted, we no longer take it to the dealer for service, which reduces repair costs, a major money repair could be deemed not financially worth it.
No idea, the 4 cylinder one. Speaking of the engine, it needs it annual oil change. IT has been driven very little, in fact, it isn't even to the miles for the oil change yet, 2,000 miles away still. I'm starting to drive it to work when she doesn't work to put miles on it over my car. It is small so I don't fit comfortably in it like I do my car.Which engine?
Usually reliable engines from Nissan. Absolutely give that car some exorcize. Sometimes sitting is harder on cars that we think. Seals dry up, sludge hardens etc.No idea, the 4 cylinder one.

I tend to drive the wheels off our cars. We have a 2008 Pontiac G6 with 277k on it that our eldest drives it. It looks like shit, but the maintenance is always done, the brakes are new (I did them) and he got a set of new tires for his birthday. Keeping it until it croaks or he moves out and takes it with him. We have a 2010 Chevy Impala with 165k on it that the middle one drives. Same as the G6 except he only needed two tires. Keeping it until it croaks or he moves out and takes it with him. My wife drives a 2018 Accord with 74k on it. Bought that car with every intention of it going 300k plus. We have replaced the tires once and nothing else aside from oils changes and one trans fluid replacement. Our daughter and I trade back and forth with the 2013 X1 (80k) and the 2019 Wrangler mainly because I take the hard top off the Jeep in late spring thru fall so some days it can't be driven (like the last few days).Reliable, but still as the years go on, repairs will start to happen. We have a dollar figure that we won't do a repair (around 1,000 dollar repair or so will be thought of do we repair it or replace the car). The down side is that she got the base model when she got it brand new. It didn't keep the value like other cars because they were mass produced and not popular. AS long as we don't get a major repair, we plan on keeping it for a few more years.
Sounds like a plan!It gets oil changes when needed (1-2 times a year with as low as it is driven). It gets any repair work done. No idiot lights but will need brakes sooner rather then later. My wife will get my Equinox when I get something new. If we just get me something new and not trade in her car, we may keep it, who knows. A back up vehicle is nice to have for emergency purposes (or if someone has an emergency and needs a vehicle). I know if something happens to my dad, I will keep whatever vehicles he has minus the truck (he has an 01 ram with 108k miles but has many issues, 21 Corolla, and a 17 suzuki motorcycle). Her parents have already said if they get a new truck, they are giving us theirs (04 nissan frontier). Once I have a third vehicle, I will never be without one again. I win the lottery, I'm buying my wife a new Rogue, A four door wrangler for me, a F150 crew cab for me, a motorcycle for me, and then a full size conversion van for vacation. Come on lottery.
Hers till she moves out and takes it with her? j/k of courseMy wife drives a 2018 Accord with 74k on it.
Gosh, I HOPE not!!!!!Hers till she moves out and takes it with her? j/k of course
