I am retired via 2% rule and am downsizing from two cars to one. I drive 3500 miles a year. Any positive guidance from mmm community to decide which vehicle to keep is appreciated.
Bmw 2009 328i with 37,500 miles or
2005 Toyota Highlander with 102,000 miles.
Fuel cost basically same. Bmw costs $200 more for insurance per year than Highlander. To make this decision, I assume will stick with the keeper car for five years, unless major repair costs arise. Projecting depreciation and repair costs is a guess. Given the mileage and car type differences, I have no clue other than Toyota should be less in both categories. I do prefer to drive the bmw but how much should that weigh into the decision?
Both cars are posted on Craigslist now with the toyota’s Asking price $3,000 less than Bmw.
My plan was to post both at kbb private party sale price, then see which one i am left with. Tonight I discovered this forum and decided Mustachians could give me a fresh perspective.
Besides a face punch for one driver owning two vehicles.... on the upside I have sold a farm, tractor, airstream, vacant land, etc in the last year. Please advise.
