crystalworks is on a distinguished road
^$216/mo ownership costs isn't terrible when you compare it to buying a new vehicle. The wife and I are looking for a 3-row vehicle now with a warranty due to kids and aging parents, going to cost us ~$600/mo for a Telluride or Pallisade. I could only imagine the payment on a new X5, or worse, X7.

At least I'll never have to work on it. Gotta find that silver lining.

That's even better than I thought. Will have to check my records but I'm sure we paid more than that for the wife's truck's parts.
