cash for clunkers + insane emissions test = most older cars will be hit with some massive bill for the planet. Combine with agressive 0% loans on newer cars, insurance rigging, and the game is insanely rigged to promote newer trash over older
Great advice. If you do have a car with payments, keep saving those payments in the bank after the car is paid off. We have a huge auto fund specifically for new cars, and when the zero interest for X months offers come along we buy a new one. We keep that money in the bank earning interest while paying each month from the account. We are a jews worst nightmare, we also get over $1500 a year back from our credit cards that we pay off every month. We just pay cash for small businesses and tips.

By the car you can afford to pay cash for.

Though I agree, I've always been something of a saver of money, not a big spender. So I've usually had enough for an older car when I needed one.
