Title: Bought a new car.... Post by: Inspector Vol on May 29, 2012, 05:42:04 EDT A brand new 93 Sentra. :bowrofl: As ugly as this picture is, the I bought is uglier. :eek: Had been setting for 3 or 4 years, put a thermostat in it, a little gas, fixed the neutral safety switch and it runs like a charm.....for now anyway. Am hoping it will run me for a little while as a gas saver for work commute.
Only has a little over 200,000 on it. (http://trialx.com/curetalk/wp-content/blogs.dir/7/files/2011/06/cars/1993_Nissan_Sentra-2.jpg) Title: Re: Bought a new car....

As I post every few months (weeks?) my Nissan truck has 315k and runs great. I haven't had a car payment in 11 years. That's a lot of free after tax money.

I would be satisfied with 315k. :thumbup: Title: Re: Bought a new car.... Post by: VinnieVOL on May 30, 2012, 10:35:04 EDT Good move IV! Depreciating assets are a drain.

That's a lot of free after tax money. Being the owner of a Nissan Altima (which is paid off) and a Nissan Frontier (which will be paid off next year), I love to see you post this. The Altima has 89k and the Frontier has 59k. And I'm a firm believer in running them until the wheels fall off. I have a '96 S-10 that I still drive to work once or twice a week just to run it, and it's approaching 200k. :thumbup: Title: Re: Bought a new car....

I'm almost 49 and have only owned 4 vehicles (2 trucks, 2 cars). My last 2 have been used and I got 9 years out of the first one and 6 and #badword#ing on my current one.

Just bought a 2012 Mustang, first new car in 14 years and long overdue.
