We are going to continue paying the car bill as we were, but putting in the savings account instead. Repairs on the Mini are paid for for the first 4 years (including everything) so no worries there. but that extra money every month is going to add up!

Have you considered of that 375-400 dollars, putting away 1/3-1/2 of it each month toward any repairs on the mini?
Just a thought.

Thanks for stopping by. Really, the Mini is the greatest car we have ever owned, and getting rid of it would have been really hard. Thus, we are getting rid of the wife’s 2003 Toyota.

If you already have 1 old car paid for, selling the other two would put you in a nice Mini!

Your headline caught me because I was just talking with Nick from Punny Money about how I can convince my wife to sell one of our vehicles (Honda Ridgeline or Chevy Malibu). Either would save us a chunk of change, but the Ridgeline is a third of our non-home debt.

Ultimately, my wife wants a Mini, and has wanted one for years now. I’m going to tell her that if we sell my truck AND her car, then we can get her a Mini (and I would drive her old Pontiac).
