Thus far my current used car has been a Godsend. It was a trade for an older car and something of value to the peson that traded with us, that we had. Repairs have been worn parts, and I have put many miles on it. I'm in a position now where the mileage thing is at a minimum at under 300 miles a month, and I feel this is a good thing as the car is 13 years old and though it has not been babied, it runs super great, It's a Honda. Repairs are spendy, and I know no backyard mechanics so I pay a lot for them. Most of my used cars in the past have been really good.
In the future I will be traveling a lot more if I get get some stuff off the ground. It's my preferred way to make money. So the heavy travel use will be a factor. Normally I have two or three vehicles so never have to worry about one being down. I have no-where to park them here though, and that's another reason for thinking new(er). I guess for now I can save the money that would be the monthly payments, and hope repairs on this current one don't start eating away at my savings. There is lots to weigh in a decision like this for me and I thank all for their input that is helping me see the different angles
