re: Is third row seating worth the extra coin

I don't even remember that

Are you buying cash or financing?? 5k over 4-5 years really isn't that big of a difference to get what you really want and have more room.

Trade in is paid for so we will be putting around 7k down.

For the interest rate you're probably going to get raped with on used, look at new. Those 0% or low interest rate loans sometimes make more sense

Same care new is like 38k, interest rates we have been seeing are anywhere from 2.5 - 4.5.

What about an explorer with less bells and whistles if cost is an issue?

love the third row seats in my expedition comes in handy often

Plus with the little one on the way, imagine having a stroller, play pin, diapers etc. Then having to get groceries while all that crap is the back.

We have third row seating in my wife's vehicle. Don't use it a lot but we do use it with kids and family sometimes. When you don't use it, you fold the seats down and you have all the cargo area.

My wife had a Highlander with the 3rd row. With it folded down there was a ton of storage space. And on our beach trip last year, it was nice to be able to take me, the wife, the daughter, the baby, my mother-in-law, and brother-in-law to dinner in one vehicle. We just popped the booster seat in the back and my wife and mother-in-law sat in the 2nd row with the baby in the carseat. Now we have a Sienna, and the wife is now wishing she had kept the Highlander.
