Need advice on what to do with my cars before moving and buying a business van
I’m in a complicated situation and would appreciate some outside opinions.
Right now I have:
• 2020 Toyota Camry with 78k miles. I still owe about $14k on it. CarMax offered me $14k, so I would basically break even.
• 2016 Volkswagen Jetta with 103k miles and a rebuilt title, paid off. No one seems willing to offer more than about $3k, even on Facebook Marketplace
Here’s where things get more complicated:
• I’m moving from Fort Lauderdale to Davenport
• I’ll be working in Tampa
• I also run a decoration business and eventually need to buy a Honda Odyssey because I transport large balloon setups and decoration pieces.
My goal is to only have 2 vehicles total:
A personal daily driver
A business vehicle
What would you do in my situation?
Would you:
Keep the Camry and sell the Jetta later?
Sell the Camry now and keep the Jetta temporarily?
Keep both until I can buy the Odyssey?
Or something completely different?
I’m mainly trying to make the smartest financial decision while also thinking long term for the business and the commute between Davenport and Tampa.
I’d also appreciate if you explain the reasoning behind your answer, not just what you would choose.
Thanks in advance
