We bought a new (used) car a little over a year ago, and haven't really made a dent on the principle of the loan. If you read some of my other questions, you'll find I'm not exactly happy with it, but don't want to overextend myself financially.
So, we find out last week that we're pregnant again. This is our 3rd (unless twins), and presumably last child. our current vehicle seats 5, but since our oldest is still in a booster, and our 2nd is in a child seat, it may become a little cramped. My wife is lobbying that we take it to a "pay off your trade..." dealer, so that we can get into a minivan.
My thinking is, that the 7 year old (by the time #3 is born), although recommended to be in a booster seat, doesn't necessarily have to be, and that will alleviate some of the space issues. I really think that doing this will be too expensive, and impractical, but she insists that it may become necessary. Am I right?
