Right now, we have an extra Suburban. I got my wife a new one (which she uses to haul the kids), but I still have the old one. The old one is in clean shape (it's a '95 w/ 75K mi). I also have an old (1989) BMW 3 series that I use as my daily driver (100K mi, but very clean).
I can sell the extra Suburban for a fair price tomorrow. If I do so, I'll end up buying a new sedan (Probably a BMW 5 series) for myself. Of course, this will cost much more than I get for the Suburban (and higher insurance, etc.).
Alternatively, I can keep the Suburban and spend a couple of $$ to toughen it up (e.g., aftermarket exhaust, tires/wheels, etc.). In that case, I'll have a good tow rig, but I'll be stuck with a big (and older) car as my daily driver.
My heart says, keep the Suburban. That might be, however, because I have a personality defect that wont let me sell my old stuff (e.g., I have a 1982 KDX 175 sitting in right next to my newer one). Does anyone out there have any rational advice for me?
