[quote=Anonymous]Here’s the situation: we currently have a 2016 Honda Pilot and a 2009 Toyota Camry. The 2016 Pilot has low mileage (didn’t drive a lot during Covid years), had some safety features and is in pretty good shape. Camry is a lot older obviously, has low milage for its age (~94k) and according to our informant mechanic, will run forever. However it is starting to need a lot of expensive repairs—next expensive repair is brake pads which will cost ~$900. Last one was the radiator which again, was around $700. Spouse has been using Camry given his commute to work is further to drive and easier on gas. We have a 15-year-old who is learning to drive and trying to think long term, what we should do. We prefer DC is in a safer, larger car with some safety features—like the Pilot. But not sure if we continue to invest in the Camry or sell it and purchase a newer used car with some additional safety features (like a used Subaru or Volvo) for DC or just keep the Camry and have spouse keep driving that while DC uses the 2016 Pilot. Thoughts on what would be the best long term plan?[/quote]
