Yeah but the $6,000 is not really mine, it's HIS money from an inheritance, and like I said, I am not going to do it, and he emailed me back and said "HELL NO!" LOLOLOL
I told him that I didn't want to hear anymore BS about gas prices then. Hehehehe. Plus, he's going to the sandbox, like he has to worry about the price of gas for another 6 months.

I mean, maybe between you & your spouse, that $50 or $60 doesn't seem so damn much, but for a 1 income family, it does. Don't think just because in YOUR finacial situation it wouldn't hurt that it won't hurt anyone else. You just don't know.
You were considering putting a $6,000 down payment on a car just to get the payments down to a lower level. $6,000 and you don't even get anywhere near positive equity. You'd just be throwing good money at bad. Your financial situation is obviously not that bad.
Hell, the interest alone on that money would almost pay for the gas consumption difference between a new car and your minivan.
