So we're rethinking everything and I'd love to hear opinions regarding what to do with our minivan. Briefly, our immediate goal is to pay down our debt, and lower our overall spending however we can. But, for right now, we still need a car. We have a 2006 Toyota minivan that we own outright. After doing some research, it seems that a conservative estimate of what we can get for it in a private sale is around $14k. We have 3 kids in car seats, and that won't change for at least another year.
Reasons to keep it: It's paid for, safe, reliable, our kids in car seats easily fit, it has AWD for our snowy/icy winters, and it should go another 100k miles (it currently has just over 100k miles on it).
Reasons to sell it: It gets 17 MPG; with the cash we get for it we can get something for less (probably with better gas mileage), and pay that toward our debt.
So, what would you recommend? Thanks very much for your help.
