I have been driving a 2019 Mitsubishi Outlander since just before Christmas last year. I’m very impressed with it, it’s a great vehicle. My payments are reasonable, $430 a month.

As I’ve written, I’m getting a 2026 Ford Bronco on August 14. I’ll be paying for it with cash.

I’ve decided that I’m NOT going to have two vehicles at the same time. It doesn’t really make sense. I was thinking of using the Outlander as my dog car, but now I think I’ll get rid of it and just use the Bronco for everyday use.

I won’t be able to sell the Outlander for anywhere near what I owe on it, so I’m going to allow it to be repossessed sometime in August or perhaps September. In Alberta, it’s a sue or seize Province so, once it’s seized, they can’t sue me. It’ll affect my credit rating, but, that means little as I don’t have good credit anyway. I recently filed a Consumer Proposal to erase my credit card debt and this’ll have little effect.

I’ll only have to ensure one vehicle and I’ll have no payments. Financially, it’s a good decision.

I’ll transfer the plate over to the Bronco, it’s a custom plate, KDARCY, so, very easy to remember. I am still thankful for the dealer who was able to get me financing when no one else could. It’s been a good vehicle, although I’ve only had it a short while. Now that it’s out of warranty, I’m sure I’d have some maintenance coming up. I was going to get new tires and a remote starter installed, but I’ll cancel that today. No sense in spending any other money, other than gas for now.

Onto my next adventure.
