My payment will actually go down because of lower int rates now but of course I basically leased the current one for 18 mo. At least I'm finally getting the color I originally wanted!

Thanks again everyone for the input.

congrats and best of luck with the new car! WRB is a beautiful color

Thanks!! I didn't do anything to my first one because I guess from the beginning it was kind of a compromise, so I'm excited about getting this one exactly the way I want it.

Right now I can walk away from the car without a loss (other than of course the last 18 mo. of payments, lol). I'm glad to hear the majority opinion is that it's not the car's fault (also will make note I need a new body shop on the future).

If it make you feel a little better, i have almost 60k on mine and it is still running strong. Like you, i travel a LOT and it is my primary mode of transportation. Good luck!

With the type of mileage you are putting on your car, I think your choice for a new vehicle is the right one.

Totally worth it imo. So much more feels for the blue one! Of course, that also means I've spent way more money on it.
