Default Should I stay or should I go

Hey everyone. I have a 2010 XFR that I absolutely love and which has 82,000 miles. It is flawlessly maintained, and running as good as it ever has (knock on wood).

This car is an extension of my soul, and I spent a lot of time and effort in maintaining it.

So here's my dilemma:

The car has 82,000 miles on it, and is out of warranty. I only have 1 year left in paying it off, but quite frankly, I am a little sick of the monthly payments. My wife's expecting, and, although we have another SUV in the family, I can't get the Jeep Grand Cherokee out of my mind, especially the SRT.

Am I nuts??? If I get rid of my Jag, I fear that after the newness of a Jeep wears off...I'm going to wake up in a cold sweat wondering what have I done....

Then again, how many more years can I expect that this car is going to run without a major problem? Should I cash out now before hitting 100,000 miles?

Thoughts?

All Chrysler products are all very cheaply made.

I would sell yours and buy a used CPO XF SC.

In my family we have a 2013 Grand Cherokee overland with the 5.7L not the 6.4L. Honestly we love it, built very well. Fiat is pushing hard to bring reliability and quality back to Chrysler group. Not cheaply made like someone stated. But is is better than the XFR...no way. But a very nice SUV, highly recommended. Did you ever think of a Range Rover, Jag in SUV form....?

It's a thought, but I thought that if if I part from my beloved XFR, I should just save a ton of money while I'm at it....

I really can't think if getting rid of it though...I just hope it stays good to me.

Selling a used car to buy a new one does not save you any money ever. The cost of a new car is very high for four years.
