Is there a retractable stripper pole for after you drop the kids off at school?

how is the depreciation? I would think this is an item that is a much smarter choice to buy used.

I am not buying it built. Built they are north of 100K and I have seen up to 500K (Jay-z bought beyonce a .5mil sprinter). If I pull the trigger on this I will buy a 2012 van and work on it over the winter this year getting it ready for the third kid. I am sure that I will get nothing I put into it unless someone wants the exact same thing.

I like it… Just need to look up the tow capacity. And I noticed it is a 2015 that means it probably wont be available quick enough.

?? How is it a 12 person van… I count 5 seats in the rear and 2 seats up front. An Escalade which also seats 7 starts at $64K. This overall will cost me under 40K. I think your math and logic is quite flawed. Another thing with certain smaller SUV’s that can fit 3 car seats is that on top of three kids we will have a nanny traveling with us often so that adds another head to the count.
This would be throwing away money for the sake of throwing away money:
Googling Mercedes truck yielded some cool results… This is an awsome truck, but at $157k it better emit gold dust.

How about a Yukon Denali? They should be a bit lower than the caddies…
