[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can related to the OP here.  I make about 400k per year and I'm not able to afford upgrading to a Rover at the moment.  Too expensive, expensive when you factor in the low fuel efficiency.  Some financial aid from my private would go along way towards allowing me to upgrade.  People think 400k is a lot, but it's actually not.  You have to make some really tough choices.[/quote]

I posted about a school with families earning over 200k getting aid.  When another school had a financial aid student drive up in a new SUV with the new 350 purse the checks stopped.[/quote]

When you live in suburbia with 2-3 kids and your car dies, if you are on FA, what is an acceptable amount to spend on a new car?  New SUVs can range from $25K to $75K.  Or do you think that the family that is on FA should not get a new car when the old one has died?[/quote]

"SUV" is not actually a synonym for "car".[/quote]

It's not, but SUV is the new station wagon.  There are few cars that can fit a family of 5. 4 absolutely, but 3 kids--- no way,[/quote]

Snort.  Growing up my family of five took cross country road trips in small volkswagons ... I was the youngest, so I got to sit on the hump part of the back seat.  No ac and the back windows didn't roll down.  AM radio.  Makes a corolla look positively luxurious![/quote]

This is true.  Not sure a car seat would fit on the hump though.  I wish they still made an old fashioned woody.  Those things could haul kids and crap like nothing else.  And there was nothing better them finally being old enough to sit in the way back.[/quote]
