I had a 2003 KIA that needed over $1500 of repairs, so I decided instead of investing in my older car, I would trade it in on something newer. So I was able to get a great deal on a 2006 Jeep Liberty that only had 12,000 miles on it. I got a really good number on my trade, and because all of the dealers are hurting to move cars, got a great deal all the way around. And I love it! It's a smaller SUV, and I still get between 22-24 miles on the highway. Not too bad!

...the only disclaimer is I was one month away from not having a car payment. My debt is now secure for at least 4 more years...
