It's a 2011 rav4 that I got in 2013 with 30k miles on it used.
I currently have $4500 remaining on the $20k loan with $350/mo payments. Passed the 100k mile mark about 2 weeks ago. Over the last 4 months I've had to get two shocks replaced ($400) and all new tires ($800 - I've seen people posting about used tires but honestly, where do you find these? Maybe I got ripped off here) and now it looks like the battery crapped out so that'll be another $200. Getting letters from Toyota saying they'll give me $7-8k for the car. Realistically, there's a bit more than usual wear on it so maybe I'd get $5k. If I trade now and get a good interest rate on a loan, I can probably finance a newer model from 2015-2016 for another 60 months at maybe $200-250/mo. Someone tell me why this doesn't make sense so I can knock these thoughts out of my head :(
