but gonna ask anyway.
Current situation:
95 Pontiac Vibe, just completed 1st yr of 3yr interest free loan, ~33 mpg, daily driver, kid hauler
98 Nissan Pathfiner, paid for , ~18MPG, daily driver, kid hauler, util trailer hauler
I posted that previously that a friend wants to give me a 95 Dodge Dakota sport. I can haul anything with it that I can haul with the trailer, so I would sell the trailer which would cover the 1st yr of taxes, tags, inspection, etc. Supercab, so could be a kid hauler but is not as comfortable, convenient or safe as the Pathy. It will cost another 18 bucks a month to insure - trailer is free. Gas would be even-steven since I either drive it or the pathy+trailer. I figure a V8 is rough equiv to a V6+trailer. Most weekends I seem to be hauling stuff and this is more convenient than dragging a trailer and keeps miles off the Pathy. It would also be a 3rd car if one of the other 2 needs to go to the shop.
Eventually the Pathy will be replaced by a minivan. I'd rather not use the van to drag a trailer around but could. With a truck, do not need to worry about that. Current thinking is take the truck, sell the trailer, drive the Pathy till the Vibe is paid off (and hopefully some after that) then get a van.
Am I missing anything?
