[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We always buy our cars, and we always buy slightly used cars (under 10k miles) that are known for their longevity. We drive them until the cost of repairs is more than we'd get on trade in (usually around 10-13 years). We paid 23k for our last car and we've had it for 8 years and haven't had to pay for anything but regular oil changes and replace the tires once. So that averages out to less than $300/mo, plus gas. We'll have this car at least 2 more years, and if possible 5 more years, bringing the cost down less than $200/mo. I'm sorry you are bad with money?[/quote] Don’t forget that the sale of the old car reduces your cost of owning it even more. [/quote] True, though I kind of factored that in -- the car we currently drive cost 27k but we got 4k on trade in from our last car so we only paid 23k.[/quote]
