The last new vehicle we purchased was a 1989 Toyota 4WD station wagon, bought at the end of the model year for a VERY good price. Otherwise we've purchased pickup with around 50,000 miles on 'em. Due to working at home, we don't drive as much as some other people, and our two present pickups are both 2000s, which run very well due to good maintenance. But we also live in Montana, where rust ain't a problem.

This. Can’t imagine one good reason to ever finance a depreciating asset, even if it’s 2% or less. Pass cash and be done, if not you can’t afford it.

Had to take the vics off of the interstate. My W tires on my ‘06 are getting a little time on them. Too tempting to punch it up. Just for now.

My favorite tire shop would only sell me S rating on both of my 2004. Meh theyre okay I guess.

Cars payments disappear once you start exclusively buying Honda or Toyota products. I've got a 10 year old Toyota, a 10 year old Acura and an 11 year old Acura. I'd think nothing of driving any of them across country. I think my last car payment was in 2014. sometimes I ponder buying a newer vehicle, but I can't see how it would improve my life. Besides, I'd have to get rid of something and I like the vehicles I've got.

Wasn’t in the market for a truck when I bought my current. Had a 2011 Silverado with 103k miles. In Jan 2018 I found a 2012 F150 FX4 with only 18k miles. Step below the King Ranch trim. After the trade my annual payment was $4,669 ($389+ / month) for 5 years. We pay $4800-5000 each year. Last payment will be about 35-3600 in Jan 23.

I hope it’s the last truck I ever buy.

I bought a brand new 4WD GMC 4 door with the small V8 last year, very basic truck. The big problem was getting a cash price. It was the first new vehicle I've bought since 1973. I've learned a lesson. Don't tell them your going to pay for it until you make as good a deal as you can.

I've also got a 2005 F-150, long bed, V6, stick. It handles all my truck chores. I've got too many vehicles, actually. For a long time we had two. Then I bought the F-150 because I got tired of needing a truck and not having one, but I didn't want to get rid of my Camry. Then my wife bought the second Acura just because she wanted it. So we ended up with four vehicles accumulated over about a 10 year period.

It's a bit foolish considering how few miles I drive these days. But they're all in good condition and they're not worth enough to sell. I could sell all four of them and not have enough to pay what they're asking for a new vehicle these days.

I think our truck is $800 and some a month. Last March we put $500 down, signed a few papers agreeing to make 84 payments at 0% interest and drove a 3500 Cummins Ram home. It's the only payment we have and more than any mortgage payment we've ever had.
