We have 4 vehicles my husband bought at an auction several years ago..all needed some
repair and all are paid for...would you sell one or more or just keep them all? We really don't
want to have a car payment and trading them in or selling them wouldn't be enough to cover
getting another car. We hope to keep at least one running a long time...

1998 Cadillac Seville
2000 Chevy Blazer
2001 Buick Century
2004 Isuzu Rodeo

Without knowing anything about the cars, I'd ditch the Rodeo and the Century and keep the Blazer and Seville.

Thank you for your advice, do you think the Blazer and Seville are better vehicles in general?

The Cadillac will probably cost you more to fix than it is worth, if there is anything major wrong with it. If the Rodeo or the Blazer is 2 door I'd keep them and get rid of the Buick.

The 01 Century is a w-body with a 3.1 v6. That means a car that can go 250k miles with the least amount of maintenance. The blazer is probably the next cheapest. Sell the other two.

I'd definitely KEEP the Cadillac Seville . . . and probably either the Buick or the Chevy.

I say we sell all four, as none of them is a good car, and buy Camry Hybrid.

Agreed. Isuzu doesn't do passenger vehicle biz in North America for a reason and the Caddy will cost an arm and a leg to keep running. The Buick is the leader here and the Blazer is a cheaper "say prayers and hope for the best" choice.

You're paying their note, right? Or did you overlook the lack of want of a car payment?
