Hello A-Team,

during my renovation phase, the first child was already there, we had relatively old cars, and at that time I also treated myself to a trailer, which I still use. A new car (nearly new) came later, although the kids really don't take any consideration for it at all. You solve the problem by choosing a black leather interior, which should be covered in the 39K, otherwise I would definitely reconsider buying the car with kids. ;)

Financially, both options work for you and ultimately you have to decide what is important to you.

Of course, you can buy the car now, then the capital is gone and you have to decide with any changes/extra costs in the construction whether you want to cover it with more debt. Conversely, you can postpone the car and see if you can "save" or hold back the 38K in construction, although that probably won't work. ;)

Still, I would initially mentally put 30k deep in the drawer and try to get the construction done without touching that sum. If that works, you have an old car during the construction phase and can calmly decide after construction which car it should be (then). If not, the 30k will just be "spent" on something that is more important to you in the end than having a new car immediately.

Best regards

Hello,



To each their own. For my part, I prefer to stay relaxed and spend my time playing and roughhousing with the little one instead of meticulously cleaning a new car. I used to see it differently, but today a car is simply a utility item for me that should make my life easier. Not create more work!

I might only be tempted by a cool pickup. Dodge Ram 1500 or Ford F150, you can even get one with all the bells and whistles for the TE’s 39k€. And those are really proper family cars, not some lousy Touran or Sharan... :cool:

Best regards,

Andreas

Only the first scratch hurts, afterwards you don't think much about it :D although I have it easy, I couldn't care less about the topic :rolleyes:
