[quote=Anonymous]We have 3 cars, 2 small SUVs and one large.  We do not drive that much (about 5k miles a year per car).  One car is for our nanny.

We have 2 children who are in ES and sports/car pooling has become important - only the large SUV can seat more than 3 kids (youngest still needs a booster for another 2 years).
Our nanny will not drive any carpools, just local stuff with our 2.

DH and I agreed to replace on of the small suv's with a 7-8 seater "normal" (40k range) car a few months ago.

Now, DH's large SUV (which is really old and the home depot/utility vehicle of the family) needs repairs that are more than the car's value.  He wanted a 4 door pick up but that is not practical with the needs for the car pooling/etc.  I convinced him to replace it with another 3 row vehicle.

The cars he is considering is a Lexus LX, which is a nice car but not what he really wants (damn truck!) and way expensive.  If that is what he wants I am fine with it - but since he has a truck in his heart would you consider a lease for 3 years on car in this case?  We will not need three cars when our nanny days are over, but that will be another 3-4 years.

Typically we drive until the wheels fall off - or in our current car's case the struts are compromised so this is a new twist for us.  Thanks![/quote]
