Help me figure this out or at least what do you think!
Me and the wife started kicking the notion of getting a third car to drive and save the wear and tear on the two good vehicles we now have. She has an 07 Mustang and it has a total of 15,000 miles on it. She loves it so much she would rather set and pet it than drive it as she swears some DUMB A$$ is gonna tear the side out of it and she will have to kill them. Since we both work at the same place she rides with me in the 08 Lariat crew cab and it now has 30,000 miles on it. I drive the truck as we normally haul a friend along with our two kids and her car will not seat five.
Started out looking at cheap beater cars ($1,000-$3,000) but they required more work than they were worth. Finally found two decent vehicles ($8,000 each and about 70,000 miles & 19 MPG) but was starting to think this is a lot of money to put into a third car to save some wear and tear on the good vehicles. The wife then found a couple of newer Ford Focus, that I will admit looked great but was $12,000 and $13, 000 with miles in the 20,00 range (22 MPG).
I got to thinking the taxes, insurance and upkeep on a third car, even with better MPG�s than my truck (13) would just barely offset the savings in fuel. Any Suggestions?
