Wife wants to get rid of Yaris! Help!

[.Kevin.]

A sedan? If mine fits 2 people up front and 3 adults nicely in the back it shouldnt be a big deal.

Meh other than that I believe youre screwed. Where did you picture hey having another kid would be awesome and not consider until after

-Broke
-No room in car

etc

You dug yourself in the hole man, best of luck I'd shit myself if someone made me get rid of my car atm. Especially if I'm paying it.

Well sorry to hear that but if thats the case, if my son felt that he or she was adult enough to have unprotected sex then they better feel adult enough to starting getting thier shit together, start thinking about future/get a job/get a home/ get a way of transportation.

I know family is family but sometimes gotta show some tuff love

I feel for you. Recently hurt my knee and now it seems i'm gonna have to get rid of my MT yaris, freaking sucks!

but at the end of the day, my recovery is far more important to me.

I love my yaris, if I sell it, I'm going to be miserable for moths lol spending money on repairs and extra gas. My god don't even want to think about it.

get a cheap van bro, that might work out for you.

dude just rent a car if it will be that infrequent, it is a heck of a lot cheaper.

Oh, and keep a lookout for used minivans. the ubiquitous dodge/plymouth/chrysler minivans sell for about $2000 or less, and are pretty darn reliable.

I don't plan on ditching it, but not sure how we are to bring along 3 kids/car seats if/when we need to... Not sure if I can afford a rental or insurance on another vehicle.

no, they don't have a car that fits 3 but they don't have to. 1 daughter has 2 children and another is about to have one. when both of their work schedules intersect with a dr appointment, we will need to take 3 kids with us, somehow... besides neither daughter knows how to drive a manual...

sorry to hear about your knee, and your yaris... maybe you can buy a cheepo auto to use while you recover?

any ways... it's undecided what we'll do. I'm sure if I refuse, we will just have to schedule things differently to avoid these intersections. It will most likely leave me more sleep deprived and our lives a lot more hectic, but it will be worth it to me...

My wife gave up her BMW Z3 for a grandkid. Got a Honda CR-V. Not a mini van but it works for her.

I know you do love ur lil LB so id say try to save up a lil chunk of money about 2k and get u a used sedan at a auto auction or something it doesnt have to be nice as long as it fits ur whole family,
I am saying this cus its what i did, I dont have a big fam. but I wanted something to go and come to work so i didnt have put so many miles on my yaris so I only used my Yaris when going to local meets here and stuff like that

Some things are more important than a cheap little car!

Having a kid when you cannot afford it is BEYOND the stupidest thing you can do. Thats why there are teen pregnancies.

And in the end its his grandchildren so he has no control over it, I wouldn't get rid of my car over my kids children though it's like trying to tell your dad his car sucks when it is HIS not YOURS so who cares.

BUT you can always go to an auction buy a mini van for these things its what my uncle did.

1994 plymouth just needed new tires and it only has 80,000 kms lol

whats wrong with it? Nada just the tires.

You could always pay a AAA/BCAA mechanic an hour of 100$ to come with you at an auction and inspect a vehicle.
