Tom, that was a great post on what to look for :tup: > XanderA TDi will hold it’s value, but from the math you’re showing you’ll be upside-down for another 5? years if you go through with this. I’d say stick to where you’re at and you’ll be out from under a little before you’re done paying for the outback, which should be sooner than the above route. > Saving money on gas should set things off, but I doubt you’ll use if for extra car payments. > X… I have to agree with Xander on this too^ ---

I benefit from it a lot more than most people would, primarily since I drive around 25,000+ miles per year. I figure I am saving approx $2500/year by driving the jetta over the outback I used to have (in gas savings), and I bet I could get that number quite a bit higher if i were to fix my injectors and timing. This $2500 covers 90% of my car payments for the year. I also got lucky and sold my outback right when outback prices peaked, so I made some cash on it.
