Well for the past 6 months ive been driving my aunts malibu because shes been living in canada the past 4 and a half months, but now shes coming back. I am in the market to purchase a reliable used vehicle that will last me through college and even beyond. All these so called car salesmen have recommened that i purchase a brand new car to get a reliable one, but is that really necessary? Do i really want to spend the net 5 years of my life making car payments? That's a long time. Now right now i have about 4500 to put down on a vehicle. My question is, do i really need to get a brand new car to get a reliable one?
On the other hand i have seen some really really clean 4-5 year old vehicles with low miles. For eample i saw this really clean honda civic
2002 with only 39,000 miles going for about 8,500, but sadly i missed out on that. Even if i did get a 4-5 year old vehicle with low miles will it still last me a long while if i take care of it even though it's 4-5 years old? I was worried just how long a 5 year old vehicle will last me compared to 1-3 year old vehicles. Like i said before i dont want to end up like my gf. Even though she has a nice car shes now 10,000 dollars in debt and has 2 repos on her record. Her car is already 8 years old and has 100,000 miles and what's going to happen when her car breaks down? She will have to start all over again. But like i said previously, i dont want to spend the net 60 months of my life making car payments. What i was thinking is if i find a nice vehicle with decent miles for about 8500 i can put the 4 grand down and finance the rest for at least a year or year and a half. But just how long will a 8500 dollar vehicle last me?What was your first vehicle, how old was it when you got it, how much did you pay for it and how long did it last you? Any help will be appreciated. Thank you
