My 2005 vw was just diagnosed with some major expensive issues and unexpectedly we are in the market for a new car. I hate my car, but it would've been paid off in 2 weeks. Also, I'm 8 weeks along with our next baby.
Stats: Step daughter 15. Infant due in January. Nearly 4 year old still RF (not sure how much longer) in Radian xlst (or something like that lol). 15 & 4 yr old cannot be near each other without major flare up. Can infant be in middle?
Budget: none. But possibly a loan up to 12k would keep us at the same car payment we are already budgeted for.
I would drive it daily 40mi or so round trip. At this time I don't do most of the kid carting.
My husband has a subaru that he does most of the work on so I was looking at 2005 Forester or outback, but worried about room in the back. Hyundai sante fe looks like it might work. I really really don't want a mini van.
Thoughts?
