Me, I buy new plain-Jain cars, keep them until the mfg warranty runs
out, then buy another new one.


I do that but I like all the goodies. I have the Limited with every
option.
And I buy 'em when you are finished.
One car I bought sold new for 38,000. I bought it 6 years old for
$5000 and sold it 12 yars later for $1700. Total mechanical repairs up
to 240,000km was less than $3000, and about halt that was "normal wear
and tear" items. For an 18 year old car it was in pretty good
condition - but not as good as my current 20 year old pickup. (The
truck is a Ford - the car was a Chrysler)
