SHOULD YOU TRADE IN YOUR SUV?
General Motors announced its closing four plants that make trucks and SUVs, and the company may get rid of the Hummer.

So... with General Motors slashing truck and SUV production, maybe the American love affair with big rigs is over.

One expert (Nicole Middendorf, President of Strategic Financial Inc.) confirms that there's a glut of used SUVs and trucks on the market. But she said it probably doesn't make sense to dump the vehicle. One person figured that trading in the SUV for a hybrid he would save more than $2,400 in gas.

But the expert says, "It is a lot of money, but when you're buying a car for more than $20,000, it's generally not worth it". It would likely take six years of gas savings before even breaking even. Of course, the more you drive the more it makes sense to make a change.
