i don’t really get why amirza keeps the sienna - yeah it’s paid for and yeah it holds a ton, but how often is it driven or needed? could just rent one.
I keep it precisely because of what you listed. My son is now using it in Berkeley, so it is driven a lot.

Why do I need to rent when I have one already?
didn’t realize it was being used a lot still, that’s great.m if it weren’t being used much then to your question… because you’d still be paying insurance, registration, maybe inspection there, and a car not driven is going to have problems over time (tires rotting for one).

Why do I keep my Lexus it is the ultimate garage queen. Because I have a hard time letting go.

i had some difficulty letting go of the LC, but for me it was the right thing to do. everyone’s different of course. and we can all rationalize anything.
If a car is paid for and largely depreciated...why not keep it if you have the room for it? I can understand say getting rid of the LC because theres money tied up in it and its depreciating sitting there and not getting used. But for AMIRZA's Sienna, its worth nothing...paid for...gets used here and there and there is room for it may as well keep it.

Yep, it does get used. And nothing is as practical as a minivan. Plus I would never trade this for the new Sienna, which I'm not a fan of. Insurance is not that much, $120 a month and registration is about $170 a year, although I have to smog it every other year . Gas is another story

A hassle for most to have to maintain, insure, and keep on the road.

Looks smaller than full size. Like 7/8ths
but BMW's styling in and of itself is a challenge ICE or EV.\
This isn't a challenge...its just bad looking

-YoY expected decline, as expected
-effects hevs, phevs which was not expected, and the effect is not as bad.
-ceos are hoping that now that the cheap lease customers are gone, the real ev buyers will stand up to take up the mantle and buy for the future.
-data is ford legacy only, but you can find even bigger dips on other outlets, like 71% drop at Kia/Hyundai.

Gonna give a massive shoutout to the much-maligned marvel that is the modern minivan. There was no better vehicle for us than our minivans when our kids were little, and we appreciate them at least as much if not more the second time around now that we have young grandchildren. Absolutely unbeatable as a family vehicle, and it still beggars belief that some would not drive one solely because of the “stigma” but would happily drive an absolutely terrible alternative - and struggle with the consequences. But at least they weren’t driving a minivan, right? We are loud and proud minivan advocates.
