After a long talk with my husband, we've officially decided to move to Las Vegas sometime after the first of next year. We need to seriously start saving up a good chunk of money in order to do this comfortably. We've decided our best bet would be to go down to one car. We have two options in order to do this. Option 1 would be trading in both our current cars (Josh's has no equity in it at the moment so we'd have to trade mine as well) on a 2003 Ford Expedition with 100,000 miles on it. This would mean no car payment but to be honest a really don't like the car. I'd only be driving it until next March or so when we would use our tax return to buy an Odyssey for me and then Josh would just keep the Ford. Option 2 would be trading in both cars on a 2009 Honda Odyssey with 60,000 miles on it. It would mean a car payment but still a lot less than what we're paying right now for both our cars and I'm getting something I actually want. We would be able to use our tax return next year to pay cash for something Josh can drive. Thoughts? Josh and I both prefer option two, but we know that will cut down on how much money we can save to move, on the other hand a more fuel efficient vehicle with less miles will cost less to run and maintain.
