what's the cost for a normal family 2 hour entertainment?
if you buy a good scope that actually does entertain you as a group:
each time you are out in the backyard or camping, you spend or rather save the amount for a 2 hour family night out.
If after 1 year you sell it on, you will have had ~6-8 or maybe even more family events with it.
That gain will cover the losses during the sale if you get a good mount and scope in the first place.

I can understand the reasoning against a dob in a car full of people and camping gear.
There are collapsable dobs, too.
Re-visit the idea of an alt-az Goto mount? It can be taken apart and so fill the little specks of free space in the car.
