I figure what better place to talk to other car enthusiasts about my situation than a great forum with great members. So let me explain my situation here. I am 30 years old and own my own townhouse that I purchased new in 2007. I recently got married to my wonderful wife back in May and we are expecting a baby which is due in August. I have always been used to the single life and have a nice six figure career which allows me to do pretty much what I want as far as cars go. I havent always made the best decisions as far as cars go as I tend to go through them too quickly and as everyone knows its not the best thing to do financially. When I first laid eyes on the new Overland it was something I was instantly interested in and knew I wanted to get one. As you all probably know sure enough I went ahead and ordered one and now I am having second thoughts on this. I want to try and change especially now that I have much greater responsibility with a wife and now a baby this summer. My wife recently quit her job since she is pregnant and we have been talking about selling the townhouse and buying a single family home in the not too distant future. I have decent savings but certainly not enough to pay cash for the Jeep and still have enough to get myself out of this townhouse and a downpayment on a new one. Sooo with all that said I think the responsible thing to do is cancel the order for my new Overland and stay car payment free until its a little more feasible to get back into a $45,000 car. My wife is by no means making me do this however obviously she doesnt recommend it, but she told me to get it if I want it. We certainly arent struggling by any means, but if I were to buy a new Overland it would make things a little tight in the near future if we were to consider moving. The other thing that is swaying me to cancel is I can always consider buying a new 2013 or something in a couple years which will have even more goodies and updates or even a SRT8 who knows. I know I pretty much answered my own question, but I was more or less just looking for a little pep talk from my car friends.
I only paid a $250 deposit which I cant remember if it was refundable or not but thats not really a big deal. If I do decide to cancel would there possibly be anyone here interested in taking over the Jeep described in my signature? I negotiated a damn good price (in the $41's) that maybe the dealership could work out with the new person. I am 35 days into the order and am in D status with a VIN. Also, for whats its worth I certainly dont need a new car. I dont tow, I dont offroad, I dont haul a lot of people I simply love the Jeep and enjoy driving. My current Lexus ES300 is a great car with no issues and is paid off. Alright guys tell me what I already know
Thanks,
James
