JUST a car.

If you don't own a house, I would think that should be your first priority. It is unlikely that house prices will ever be as low as they are, as well as mortgages being in the mid 4%'s. I'm in my late 50's and didn't own my first home until my early 30's. I never owned a new car until after I bought my house.
Your plan is to get rid of the Camaro and the wife's car, and downsize to one vehicle? Can you both survive with one vehicle? If you can survive with one vehicle why does it have to be a new SRX? (I see plenty of them on the road by the way, IMHO less unique then the Camaro) I would buy a good used car in the 15k-20k range and buy a house. If you need 2 cars, buy a beater for the 2nd one.
