It’s great to show off you can afford a new car but cars last longer these days. You can own a good used car for a fraction of the cost.

Agreed. Here in Washington State you pay through the nose in RTA taxes for new vehicles...

I recently bought a like new Cadillac XTS platinum 2013 that had 40k miles on it for 25k, including a lifetime warranty.

I bought a used year 2000 F150 pickup with 60K miles on it about 15 years ago. It now has 185K miles and hasn't had any maintenance costs other than oil changes.

My price on the truck was about 10 percent of what a new F150 would cost and I doubt the 2020 F150 would have the same longevity/reliability.

I don't buy a new vehicle to show off, I buy new to get the latest technology. My next purchase will be a 2020 or 2021 GMC Sierra 1500, which finally will have adaptive cruise control. I'm also upgrading to get the 6.2L engine and Max Tow package so I can get the bigger travel trailer my wife wants.

You can buy a GREAT used car with low mileage AND very low price from car rental agencies they are also maintained on a regular basis cars in CA. last forever because we have mild weather conditions, no salt on the roads ect.!!!

both of our vehicles are well over 10 years old with more than 100,000 miles and still going strong. That was unheard of before the 80s.
