Default Re: What I sold to buy my XF

I didn't sell anything. I waited until I paid off my CR-V to buy my XF. It was kind of a 5 year plan. I bought the CR-V because that year model is statistically the best car Honda ever made (in terms of number of repairs needed). After I paid off the CR-V I kept making my payments to myself for 10 months (it was supposed to be 1 year but I cheated) while I was looking for the XF I wanted. The payments that I made to myself for those 10 months let me save up enough of a down payment to keep my XF payments the same as the previous CR-V payment. I figured that the CR-V will last long enough for me to pay off the XF & the XF is under warranty for the whole loan term so no unexpected repair bills on that car at least. My plan is working great & will be ok as long as people stop running into the CR-V. We were just in our 3rd accident in 18 months on Wednesday. That little truck is a trooper!!!


I bet you guys didn't know I was such a planner!!! lol
