But realistically it's not a great move probably.

DR says that, all the cars in your family should not exceed 50% of your income. Say you make 100,000 a two car family should have two 25,000 or less. You can arrange the numbers however you like such as 10,000 40,000 etc. The point is to not have too much of your net worth tied up in assets that loose value. I personally stay below 50% to play catch up.
