[quote=Anonymous]just to be clear, it's the 1998 car that can't fit you all, not the 2004 minivan?

If that's the case, sell the 1998.  Either way really, sell the one that doesn't fit at least your whole family.  You're not going to get much more out of a car with 190k miles on it.

It sucks to still have a car payment, but c'est la vie.

Get a car that is approx 5 years old, and pay more attention to mileage than year because that is the true age of a car.  Try to get a car payment similar to what you are paying now.

Get the best car you can, and decide if you want to trim somewhere else in the budget to afford this?  i'm sure you've been through the budget a bunch, but time to look at it again.

Then, hang onto that car for 10 years+.  If you pay off that car in the first 5 years, continue to make the same monthly car payment into a savings account so that in 10 years when you replace it, you have at least part of the money for the next car.  (easier said than done, I know).
