Cancer, divorce, market crash and layoffs... you might never get to do what you want if you keep postponing it forever. Now, personally, I recommend getting a convertible sports car instead of luxury SUV.

Agreed, I have always owned impractical (non-minivan) vehicles even with a family, but the post is about a guy with a family of four comparing two vehicles out of utility/need. Maybe the better advice would have been 2 convertibles so everyone can at least go to the same place at the same time......in two different vehicles.......either way, this thread has gone off the rails in like 5 directions.

A used Mazda Miata in a decent shape can be had for about 10K to 15K. Buy that, spend the rest on a minivan and you are good to go.

Yes, because we all know 2 kids and a wife must always follow you everywhere you go? Sure, some places, like living downtown of a large city, makes it impossible to own multiple cars. For the most people with a family, getting convertible means cleaning all the junk out of the garage so there is a room to park it.

I have a 2012 Jaguar XJL and a 2008 Porsche Cayenne S. The Porsche has cost me more in maintenance that what I paid for it. In fact, looking at my maitenance record I keep on an Excel spreadsheet, my Porsche maintenance cost is twice what I paid for it. Total cost is much less than what a new Porsche would have cost me, but still depressing. My Jaguar maintenance cost, although not "cheap", is still much less than the Porsche, both in dollar amount, as well as a percentage of the value of the car. In other word; don't buy a used Porsche, unless it is still under warranty.
