It's not cost efficient, at least for us. I paid $11,000 for the 2004 Suburban in 2012. During that time, it's had about $3,000 in standard and emergency maintenance.
We have made this, and similar week long trips, off the top of my head, 60 times during that 10 years. I also use it at least every other weekend to haul something from somewhere to somewhere else that would not fit in our Mustang or the 86.
Factor in the time eaten up dealing with rental agencies, worrying about dings and dents, etc (or paying the extra fees) I think I'm doing OK.
