I'm Torn

[NS_Stinger]

My Stinger will be fully paid off soon and Im having trouble deciding whether to cash in on the crazy used car market values or not.

I have two options in my head, trade the car in and get a nice sporty SUV like a Dodge Durango R/T with the tow-n-go package and a 5.7L v8, or a Ford Explorer ST (400hp and as fast as the Stinger with a light tune). I have 2 kids in sports so thats why SUV is on my mind, OR I keep the Stinger as a garage queen, it will only have about 30k miles on it, and buy a cheaper smaller boring CUV for a DD. Anybody else make a move like this that can give any feedback?

I'm all out of faith, this is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed
Lying naked on the floor
Illusion never changed
Into something real
I'm wide awake and I can see the perfect sky is torn
You're a little late
I'm already torn

Ford Explorer ST my cousin had. Not the biggest fan of the interior material and connection to road. Its a quick-ish suv but very disconnected on the road. Also people will most of the time think you're a cop.

Durango would be worse I imagine, unless you go SRT that may be the sweet spot.

If gv80 is an option, Id definitely go for that or a gv70 (although the wait orders are a hassle, as I am waiting on mine till summer)

Keep the Stinger and get a run of the mill CUV... One that's good on fuel. With prices looking to hit an all time high it will give you the utility you want and you will still have something fun to drive

I agree with Redcal. Usually mazda cx-5s or 9s are pretty tame and lower pricing with this crazy market. Well in Canada anyway

The Mazda's are a good suggestion, more engaging to drive and they have better warranty and financing

Mazdas though are driven by millions of middle aged grocery getting females, nothing appealing. Car prices are crazy I just decided to keep mine I refuse to pay 10k-20k over sticker and I am still in luv with my Stinger after all these years.
