Bought my 05 Escape new, and drove it until 2019

Bought a used 2017 Murano with low mileage, its paid off and I'll drive it for probably 5-10 more years. My kid will be driving in 4 more years, maybe this is his hand-me-down.

Cars are just money sinks. I dont want a car loan and I also don't want to pull $50k out of savings to pay for one outright.
