So as said we went looked at what we get around with 4 kids and 3 in car seats not easy.
We will either have to wait to middle kid out of car seat 2 years unless he grows, maybe I need to water him daily
Or I upgrade the Mini to something with k's on it which could be a dog.
Otherwise it will be a pain with 2 cars seats in the back you cannot fold down the single as they all 60/40 folding. If you put three car seats in the 2nd row only the Mux or Colorado will fit if we move Connor from full booster to cheap travel fold up one with have. Which then rules out taking a adult with you. Which leaves the Everest can put two car seats in the 3rd row as has anchor points although loose boot space
Or two in second row and one in boot although not much room for whoever sits in 2nd row with two car seats. Not sure a adult bum would fit.
Looked at a Patrol fits three seats in the middle although only 2 anchor points and 50/50 split in 2nd row
We can get a engineered anchor in these probably $400 a seat.
Sarah would like the titanium Everest umm why do girls need leather seats etc ..
I think if the Disco can limp 2 years we get a 2015 s/h. 2 years old taken a hit in $'s
If you use a Territory as a example around $58k new 2013 around $40k with 50ks on it..
Then $ wise is it worth it as chatting with @Smergen a $35k upgrade for $4k of fuel a year does not make sense The fact we downgrading on all vs the Disco does not help. Probably have to add a suspension upgrade to them as well so more $'s and setup for towing camera/12 pin/redarc etc.
Its the fact I worry we killing the poor Disco. if the engine goes its body of chassis so 3 days labour.
We serviced the auto and added a sump so they can change the oil so hopefully thats ok.
Servicing costs us around $1600 a year the Colorado7 is free for 5 years the rest new are cap priced around $500 a year.
In 5 years it still allows $10k of repairs on the Disco and thats not talking depreciation.
Still cannot get my head around leasing. For those who leased does the below seem correct.
So 36 months on a Colorado7 $1658 a month $59,688 in total
$46,335 car
$13,000 fuel
$3000 insurance
$2500 rego
Servicing free. Say $3k
$67,000
Then be around $21k buy out at 46% after 36 months
Then $15k tax savings
so basically breaks even .
D4 $2291 a month $82k
$72k car..
$13,000 fuel
$3000 insurance
$2500 rego
$3000 service
$93,000
Buy out $33k..
Tax $19k. So again close
