What a good deal you're getting!! It's also important to know that you can get out when you need to.
Good luck with the new car! I only buy used cars and then drive them until they absolutely die. My last one was 14 years old when I had to let it go, and this one is 10 years old. I never worry about the age - it's how well it checks out by my mechanic.

That's how we are Judy.
Greg used to buy new cars till I came along... lol I can't see the point since you lose so much value immediately. I don't need to impress anyone and I sure don't want car payments! So it's used cars for me all the way.

As you get to buy a used one Judy...I have to go to a salvage yard to pick mine out...LOLOL

I would too if I had someone to fix them up for me! In NYC, if you have to park on the street, I think it's pointless to have a new car. The bumpers are scratched up very soon because everybody squeezes into parking spots. There's also how many times when you park in a lot and come out to find a scrape. a dent, a ding, etc. I've always bought my cars the same way. I decide how much I can spend, buy the Consumers Car Book, find their Best Buys for that amount, and then go look for it. I always drive a stick and my last 3 cars have been sports cars. I have a mechanic I really trust and have the car checked out by him before I buy it. It's a good system.

Lucky for me, both dh and ds are mechanically inclined, so they can handle most of the work... what they can't do or don't have time or tools for I call Trevor. So in this respect I'm in good hands.
