Wife is right about keeping Caddy
 Dear Terry,
We purchased a 2003 Cadillac CTS with a loan amount of $23,442 at 7.75 percent. Our monthly payment is $474 over five years. The car has 32,000 miles and is in excellent condition.
My husband wants to trade for a car that uses less gas. We don't average more than 40 miles a week, since we're retired. I think he is wrong. Please advise.

Helen K. Wetzel  Dear Helen,
I don't like to mediate marital disputes, but it's probably not prudent to trade the Caddy just to get better gas mileage, given how few miles you drive.
