My wife drives a lot for her job and uses our 2006 Honda Accord to get around. The car is paid off and her company reimburses her $800/month and gives her a gas card. Needless to say, we've been loving the deal. Lately, however, my wife has been yearning for a newer vehicle with more room, integrated navigation, Bluetooth, etc. Things that would make her day a little easier.
With how well my wife has been doing in her job ($200K+ this year in salary, bonuses, and reimbursements), we decided to begin looking to upgrade her vehicle. Long story short, she found an ML350 that she LOVED tonight, negotiated the deal (including a $1K reduction in price and $5K for trading in the Accord), and worked out financing.
So, do we have a new (used) SUV...nope. She chickened out! Lol! She said she needed to sleep on the idea of a $417/month car payment when we've gone without car payments for so long.
