I am the proud owner of a Jeep Liberty. I love my truck. I love how tall she is, how rugged and peppy she is. And though I don't take her off-road or camping or any of that "Jeep people" stuff, she is still a great truck.
However. She could not make it up the hill to my house in the snow on Friday. And that concerns me. Now I realize that this weather is pretty uncommon here in Richmond. But what if it happens again this winter? What if the next few winters are just as bad, or worse? What then?
My point is, I'm considering trading my beloved Jeepy in, and getting a Jeep with 4WD. I have found exactly what I want at carmax.com, who I bought my Jeep from in August of 2008. It is a 2008 Jeep Patriot Sport, showing here, and I really like it a lot. My problem is, I've only had my Jeep for a little over a year. How does that look, to trade in one car for a new one so quickly? My folks think its a good idea. My payments will be the same as they are now, which is nice- newer car, same price
Am I overthinking this?
Bottom line, I need a vehicle that I can rely on, and up until now, my Liberty fit that bill. But now I'm not so sure.
Guidance would be much appreciated.
Nay
As long as you don't/won't have any negative equity, I don't see a problem with it ... That's really the only thing that could potentially affect your credit. Plus, Jeep Patriots are fun to drive! :)
