[quote=Anonymous]I’m completely undecided and am hoping DCUM will make this care decision for me.

I’m driving a 3 year old minivan with 75,000 miles on it. I still have about 22 payments left to make before it’s paid off. It has (obviously) had its expensive 60,000 maintenance done, but little issues are starting to pop up. The issues are all things that don’t matter much but would be expensive to fix if they really go and also potentially super annoying. For example one window kind of shudders and squeaks, which is fine unless it gets stuck open in winter. And one door sometimes randomly refuses to close, bouncing back as if something is in the way when nothing is. Also I’m due for a new set of tires soon.

I had been planning to get to 100,000 and then trade it (so fall/winter 2020) but I’m wondering if maybe i should grab a 2019 still sitting on the lot and try to get a good deal now before anything craps out.  A new car would obviously drag my payments out by resetting the clock on the loan, but i was probably never going to keep this car for the full 5 years anyway.

so what would you do DCUM?[/quote]
