What might be an intersting twist is, the relative worth of your car and it's payments, to your home.

I would rather have my house with no car payments to worry about , than have a nice new car and worry about the payments on that as well.

I know quite a few people who have lease/car payments that exceed their monthly rent/mortgage paymemts.

To answer the original question, my house is only 6 years old and my SDL is 17 going on 18.
