[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I guess this matters for judging my frame of mind since a couple of folks have asked why I'm starting to think about giving up the 2010 car. I'm a single (widowed) mom, so there is no backup car or easy "help" if my CRV breaks. So I might be a little more risk averse than your average two-parent, two-car, family because I'll have very little time to come up with a plan. [/quote] Do you have $20k or you want to cap it at $20k? Because if it's the first I'd just get a new CRV or RAV4, put $20k down and pay like nothing a month for 3 years. If it's the second, I think you have at least another year or two in this car. Start saving your "car payment" each month now and you'll have another $5-10k for the down payment. When you buy a really popular, reliable car like this, you don't save very much buying used unless it's like 5 years old, and replacing a 9 year old car with a 5 year old car doesn't seem worth it to me.[/quote]
