After feeding time.

I have a 98 Toyota Corolla. If you want to see what it looks like, just turn your head towards the nearest road. There should be one going past.

Hey! Was that you?

And behind that Corolla, you'll see my Camry or my wife's Avalon.

Last week, I got a 2008 Toyota Rav4.

Schmidty · 04-09-2009, 07:02 PM

'99 Ford Escort wagon and a '98 Ford Ranger.

They both run wonderfully (the Escort has a rebuilt engine with only 30k miles), and even better - no car payments!!

I'm not a car person, so having a sexy vehicle doesn't mean anything to me.

we're 2 years post payments on teh vibe and I have to say having my mother's Impala to drive as a second car while she was in the hospital became VERY convenient. I may start looking for my pickup truck in the fall. I hear GM models might be really cheap.....

Barkeep49 · 04-09-2009, 08:52 PM

I am currently leasing an 07 VW Jetta. I leased because I knew I'd be in a better financial situation when the lease was up then when I entered into it and sure enough this looks like it will be true. But being relatively young, I think I'm going to just get a nicer VW (Passet or CC) rather than driving something that is conspicuously wealthy, even if I could afford it.

For me it was a no brainer. I know jack all about cars, and unless you're buying a real cheap used vehicle the difference in interest rates between new and used (at least when I bought) evened out the cost in a hell of a hurry. Throw in the differences in warranty terms between the two and new was the way to go.

Different strokes and all, but given the peace of mind/security, more than made up for the difference.

Peregrine · 04-09-2009, 11:07 PM

I have bought a couple of new cars in the last five years (before the Infiniti I had a Mazda RX-8) but that is highly unusual for me - previous to that I had the same car for about eight years. I plan on keeping my G35 as long as I can though.

B & B · 04-09-2009, 11:22 PM

This is what Im driving, but not my exact car.

What I mean is, I'd live in all other 49 states before living in wacked out left coast California.

But yeah, thats my ride.

johnnyshaka · 04-09-2009, 11:23 PM

With the 2nd child we got rid of our oldest beater...my '91 VW GTI and purchased a used '06 Dodge Grand Caravan for the wife to drive the kiddies around in. I now drive a '94 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme.

Nice not to have a car payment...let alone, two of them.

See, that's where my question lays - Why is it worth it? I could get a new car, but I don't understand why I should take on more debt for something that gets me from one place to another. Meh, to each their own I guess.
