[QUOTE="Thomas Rogers, post: 777104, member: 60724"] Keith, If you need a new car anyway don't let anyone discourage you from getting an economy car. Look at Edmunds TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) as a data point for any cars you are considering. My wife and I did a BOLD MOVE by dumping the ST last spring in favor of a new Ford Focus. We use that car now whenever we can. It gets just over 30mpg around town, whereas the ST only got about 14. It freed up some cash for us each month as I was still paying on the ST at the time; and I did the math and in the long run I will be big money ahead vs. if I kept the ST. Of course, I miss the ST just about every day. But I'm still glad I made the move. My youngest son has allergies and my wife recently diagnosed with a condition that has them both going to the doctor's once each week. Two co-pays/week of $35 each equates to $280 to $350 each month that we never planned on. That's another car payment. Just when you think you are getting ahead...(too bad our Flex Spending account is maxed out already for the year)... TJR [/QUOTE]
