Am I dumb?
Hi all, I come here looking for your Odyssey knowledge and also assume with this community that most have multiple children.
I have 2 kids, both in forward facing car seats. And we are expecting our third very shortly.
We currently have a 2018 CX-5 and it’s been a good car, no issues other than regular maintenance. It has just under 100,000KM on the clock.
With our family growing this car is just too small. I tried with to fit a 3rd car seat across the bench (yes, we even have 3 slim fit models) and I cannot get it to a position that is safe. And then not to mention all the baggage that a family of 5 comes with lol.
So we’ve been looking at trading it in for something bigger and I really think the minivan is the way to go and I like the odyssey.
Now the reason for my question is, would it be dumb to trade in our current car (paid off) on a 2017 odyssey that has 160,000km (60,000km more than our car), if it was costing us a bit of money? Looks like it would be about $5,000 difference. Other options I’ve seen, would be a bit newer (2018-2020) with 25,000km more. But would be about $10,000 more.
I don’t feel like it’s a terrible decisions but I’m looking to get a sanity check that it wouldn’t be a totally stupid decision.
Thanks in advance!
