Owning a vehicle inexpensively:

rule # 1
vehicles are always future junk, so the only way to own a vehicle inexpensively is to buy a used car with low mileage within three years old.

rule # 2
keep it until the maintenance is more than oil and tires. These days, 10 years plus is easily doable.

rule # 3
no one cares what kind of car you have, as long as its safe when you are driving in some else's car.

Its always amazing to me what people pay and what people buy when dealing in future junk
