Real Talk From the Experts:

"A good used car that is less than three years old is as reliable or more reliable than a new car. A new $28,000 car will lose about $17,000 of value in the first four years you own it. That is almost $100 per week in lost value. To understand what I’m talking about, open your window on your way to work once a week and throw out a $100 bill.

USA Today notes that the average car payment is $464 over sixty-four months. Most people get a car payment and keep it throughout their lives. As soon as a car is paid off, they get another payment because they 'need' a new car. If you keep a $464 car payment throughout your life, which is 'normal,' you miss the opportunity to save that money. If you invested $464 per month from age 25 to age 65, a normal working lifetime, in the average mutual fund averaging 12 percent (the seventy-year stock market average), you would have $5,458,854.45 at age sixty-five. Hope you like the car!"

— Dave Ramsey, The Total Money Makeover (book) 2003

“While paying for car repairs can be frustrating and expensive, finding a replacement car in your price range can be even more of a hassle. Depending on current car availability and cost, you could end up spending way more to buy a car right now than if you’d made repairs to your ride and waited. No one wants to pay a $700 repair bill, but that one-time cost looks way better than the $738 a month (the average new car payment) if you financed a replacement vehicle!”

“Holding on to your vehicle for as long as possible is often the best way to save money.”
