    The car we have is fine at the moment, but it we expect it will eventually need some costly repairs in the next ~3 years (exhaust? suspension?, etc.) as it gets older. The second car would be because We’re a large family and support another family. We recently hit a deer and it was very inconvenient while we waited for a repair. A second car would go a long way.

      ^ This. Having a second or more car really helps in a lot of things, up to and including having the luxury of trying to fix something yourself. If you only have one car, it can be a scary proposition to mess with it as a noob (which I very much am; but I know how to do things like brakes, for example, and for other things, I’ll look up and read about/watch videos to see if it’s something I could attempt).
