Car is finally paid off as of two days ago.

It ain't worth $23,500 anymore, though.

Now all you have to do is starve off that itch for a newer one. :)

Easy. Look at the depreciation on vehicles, and then gas prices. We'll need another car, but it'd best get good mileage.

My scooter gets 70MPG, but I don't think you can get a child seat in it.

Yar, I know cars are bad investments. Why do the people who want to appear rich spend so much on such a bad investment? Why do they want to appear rich when no one really cares what you drive, unless it's a gold-digging spouse or shallow people who judge you based on things.

Thanks!

Cars: an excellent way to take a large sum of money and watch it evaporate the second you drive it off the forecourt! I never buy new, that way some other sucker can see his investment loose 1/3rd of its value in a year.

Yes. Do you purchase the used car from a dealer, or through private sale? There's disadvantages to both, but in southern California, your car is considered this big deal. I don't care about it.
