Exactly. She wants me to get an SUV that she can drive in 6 years. I’d rather sell my Jeep and buy something with cash and keep having no payments. The van will be paid off in a few months. I’ll get my daughter a Highlander or something like that when it’s time.

So I just bought my daughter a Highlander that I’m going to drive for 5.5 years. Too good of a deal to pass up. I was going to Carmax to look at a Yukon. It was still there around 3 when my wife was browsing suv inventory. By 5:30 it was gone but a 2013 Highlander had popped up. I test drove it with all 3 kids, my wife, and the salesman in there. The kids approved. The wife loves it. And I’m good with it. I’ll get better mileage than my Jeep and it has plenty of room. Has the 3.5 v6 in it. Drove like a new car. One owner trade in. We’ll have it for the next 10-12 years barring any major accidents.
