Buying New Car
What's more economical? Always Buying Used Cars, or driving a New Car into the ground?
I have heard two arguments about the most economical way to buy cars over a life time. I've heard that if you buy a new car, never trade it in and drive it until the end of its natural life, you'll end up saving the most money in repairs. I've also heard that always buying slightly Used Cars will end up saving you the most money, (though you have to replace them sooner since they have less shelf life.) Are either of these theories true?
It really depends on a lot of factors, including luck. Generally it's best to buy a slightly Used Vehicle since technically nobody owns a "new" car. The second you drive it off the lot it's used. You can find a car with 20,000 miles on it for a few K less than a "new" one.
I have a friend that purchased an old Integra with 103,000 miles on it for $4,000. He now has 267,000 on it and has had no major issues at all. There are tons of examples like that which throw out the idea of having to buy a new vehicle. Generally speaking, smaller lighter vehicles with small engines last a lot longer than larger ones.

Not Buying It $4.99 Many of us have tried to call a halt to our spending at one time or another. But what if we decided not to buy anything for a whole year? Obviously, we would need necessities like food and soap, but how would be manage without new clothes, treats, entertainment? Funny, smart and self-deprecating, Not Buying It is a close look at our society's obsession with shopping and the cold turkey confession of a woman we can all identify with - someone who can't live without French roast coffee and expensive wool socks, but who has had enough of spending money for the sake of it. Without consumer goods and experiences, Levine and her partner Paul pursue their careers, nurture family relationships and try to keep their sanity and humor intact. Tracking their progress and lapses, she contemplates the meanings of need and desire, scarcity and security, consumerism and citizenship. She asks the big questions - can the economy survive without shopping? Are Q-tips a necessity? A thought-provoking account of the pleasures and perils of the purchase-driven life, Not Buying It will get readers talking about their reliance on the act of buying and the possibility of getting off the merry-go-round. |
