[quote=Anonymous]I love my 2010 BMW wagon to pieces, and had planned to drive it for another several years.

Last week, I found out it needs a new AC evaporator. It’s a 20-hour, $4,000 job that is causing me to do a gut check. I knew to expect it, and I can afford it, but there are other places I would rather spend my money.

When I got the car, I was in different circumstances: I had one child, and commuted to work by car, about 5 miles each way. Now I have three kids, two dogs, commute downtown by train (well, I used to...), and we just bought a second home in the mountains, which we plan to use heavily in the next year. So I was thinking about getting something larger anyway, but kept deciding against it because I really love this car. But with this development, I am starting to think it’s time.

If I were to replace this car, I would not get another German car right now. I am thinking a Toyota, Subaru, or Ford. I need AWD for the snow in the mountains. And I need a cargo area for the dogs. My car wouldn’t regularly need to accommodate five people and two dogs, because we have an Explorer as well, but it would be nice if we could do it in a pinch.

What would you advise?[/quote]
