The more I think about this the more I think I should sell my corolla and spend more than 10k on this vehicle. We're already only using the corolla on weekends anyways, wife cycles to work and I take transit. Making the weekend vehicle bigger and more versatile would be a big jump in quality of life.
Pretty sold on the idea of a frontier too.
For reference it's a 2016 corolla S that just hit 100k. I had never thought to check how much it might still be worth and it's worth more than I thought it was but I guess it's the same story with all vehicles these days.
For what it's worth we bought a full size truck earlier in the year, my econo box car is sitting in the driveway next to it undriven. Remarkably we haven't driven the little car even once since we got the truck.
Mostly a different deal though, expensive newer truck with 360 cameras which makes mall parking a non-issue, plus electric so no gas. But as far as size and urban utility, it hasn't been the issue we thought it would be at all.
Blow the budget to kingdom come and buy a Rivian 😆
Initially each piece of venison will cost you $7,500, but it will eventually balance out and pay for itself over 370 years of ownership.
