I don't understand the need to jump right into another new car payment. I see two scenarios and neither would involve a new car if you are considering a house.

1. Sell the Z and keep your Versa. Versa goes fine in snow like all the other FWD vehicles. Even better when equipped with snow tires. Uncool car?... only if you care what other people think.

2. Sell all your cars, get one USED small SUV or pickup truck.

Wait until your finances settle down after some time living in a house. Houses and the stuff you fill them with aren't cheap. I've had more than a few friends learn that lesson. Live below your means, pay cash for everything other than your house and take vacations for heavens sake.


This. I bought my car 18 months ago, and am seriously considering getting rid of my Z and buying something with cash. Dave Ramsey FTW.

Poor people ask "what are the payments?".
Rich people ask "how much?".
