Welcome Car Number 7

Published by John at 4:35 pm under Our Blog

I have a bit of a problem. I like to buy and sell cars. On Thursday I sold our 2005 Subaru Outback and bought a 1996 Jeep Cherokee. Becky misses the Outback but I don’t. It was a good car but had no leg room.

We now don’t have a car payment and got cash in our pocket. It was a really good deal. This Jeep will hold us over until I buy the car I really want.

If anyone is counting we have been married for 3 years and have had 7 cars.

    Good job, John. You took the first step and admitted you have a problem.

    Congrats on the baby and different vehicle. But I have a warning … I haven’t ever heard anything good about the cherokee model. I can think of three friends who had them and could hardly afford to keep them running. I hope this vehicle gets the job done for you without making a big dent on your wallet. Good luck.

    You have to watch this presentation by Dave Ramsey called Drive Free, Retire Rich…I think you would enjoy it.

    Thanks for the heads up about the reliability. Fortunately I paid so little for the car, if I can make it a few months without any issues, I will be ahead.

    Becky, do you think there is a buy-sell cars anon for people like John? If not then he should start a charter in CA. Congrats on the car. I, too, haven’t heard much good about the Jeep Cherokees. Good luck!
