Should I keep the Camry?
Our Toyota Camry is only 5.5 years old. We bought it beginning of 2003 when the Carson Toyota was having promotion on car loans and with a minimum down payment we got it the loan at 1.9% for 36 months. The interest rate was around 3% at the bank that time. We definitely got the advantage of having such a low interest rate that time. Now we are loan free for the Camry. It is nice not to think about making the car payment every month. The car is still in very good condition. It has a huge and very comfy interior.
Now I keep thinking if I should trade in the Camry and get a mini van instead. When I was back in KL, my uncle owns a Toyota Alphard and it was very comfortable moving in and out the mini van with children. Back there, we went out as a big family. At least 5 of us went out together. But in LA, most of the time we go out, it will be me, my husband and Brandon. We don’t really need such a big car for now. Oh well … we’ll just keep the Camry for a few more years and see if any situation changes then we will get a mini van.
