If you really need good AWD at that price point, I suppose.not a bad car for the money.

Not always a depreciating asset. I was offered $8,000 more for my 1 year old Tesla than I paid for it. But that's admittedly a rare event.No doubt. I looked at a Tesla online the other day with my kids because they like them. The lease and finance were like $800-1000/mo.
Crazy.
For a depreciating asset.
That’s a one time anomaly. Everyone knows it.Not always a depreciating asset. I was offered $8,000 more for my 1 year old Tesla than I paid for it. But that's admittedly a rare event.
The only time I've ever had car payments was my last year in university. I borrowed the money to buy a new car and paid it off in 8 or 10 payments in order to establish a credit rating. Since then I've always paid cash. When you write a cheque for $50,000+ you really know how much that new car costs.
And yes I could afford $1,000 payments.
Agreed. It'll probably never happen again. Not with a new car anyway.That’s a one time anomaly. Everyone knows it.
Yeah, Subaru seems to keeping their cars reasonably priced. Even the Ascent is only $34k to start and the base models are pretty functional. We get an even better deal up here considering the dollar, and typically the base model gets heated seats.We are looking a new Legacy premium for the wife in January, 24K out the door. Pay cash and its a done deal, not a bad car for the money.
It happened during WW2. So it's a two-time anomaly?That’s a one time anomaly. Everyone knows it.
Well, maybe. Keeping a car 50+ years incurs some cost. But ya never know, right?Agreed. It'll probably never happen again. Not with a new car anyway.
Though I think that '66 Mustang GT350 would be worth more than $13,000 today. And it was supposedly Carroll Shelby's secretary's car to boot. I'm still kicking myself over that one.
Seriously? Good luck with such logic.It happened during WW2. So it's a two-time anomaly?

So, buy a motorhome?The smart money says to invest in a vehicle, not a house.
After all, you can't drive your house, but you can live in a vehicle.

One of my cousins thought his brother was crazy for paying $35,000 for a house. Probably worth $3 - $400,000 now.I once thought not that long ago that a $1000/month house payment was getting crazy.
That Mustang was really special, and in very good condition. The only problem I could find with it was some paint cracking on the hood. And (I'm making a big assumption here) because Shelby's secretary was a Canadian it was painted British Racing Green. Whether that's the reason or not, it was indeed dark green with white stripes, which it shouldn't have been because they were all supposed to have been white - with blue stripes.Well, maybe. Keeping a car 50+ years incurs some cost. But ya never know, right?
The 66 Stang was my favorite year, by the way. I see some pretty nice ones running around.
