I moved back from New Mexico a year ago. I have two family haulers that can overland, this was just a simple question for anyone that has a hybrid in this time period. This vehicle is explicitly for south Alabama to North Alabama family visits.

ETA: mileage is 145k


Wait what? You have two other suv's and just bought this one why?

Yea I don't get why borrowing carries such a stigma when the APRs are so damned low and you can keep your cash on hand for emergencies or investments yielding >3%.

They're paid off, run great, but average 15 mpg. New rig nets 28 for north bama runs to visit family.

She's not even worth Applebee's, BK in the parking lot if she's lucky.

If your current vehicles “run great” the MPG difference doesn’t warrant paying $14k for another vehicle, especially an almost 10 year old vehicle…

I think his point is that even at 13 mpg better mileage in the Highlander, it will take a Long time to cover the $13k purchase price, the extra insurance and the state fees.

13K on 145k miles seems high.
