Bingo.

I've bought two new cars in my life; in 1972 and again in 1975 (well three actually: I bought the wife a new Toyota Rav4 for her retirement gift). Lightly used is always the best; they don't depreciate as fast (some actually appreciate in value), insurance is usually less and cash paid is always better than a loan. Just know what you want and what you want to pay, and know something about the vehicle you're looking at.
