[QUOTE="H D, post: 950335, member: 68494"] Its obviously your choice, and I wouldn't blame you for getting something new, but I buy vehicles for long term. I know I'm in a minority in this country and think you should go with what is most comfortable to you. Here's the way I figure it, though: If $2000 gets you a vehicle that has no other major maintenance issues for only one year, you are saving money. Or you could finance another vehicle and spend at least $300 month ($3600/yr). You are locked into those payments. If you spend $2000 a year for another two years to maintain your Sport Trac, you're still coming out ahead money wise. No interest and your investment barely loses more value. A new vehicle accrues interest and loses value rapidly. That's just my thought process. I think most Americans have a false sense of security in a newer vehicle and a false sense of how to save money. But then, its just my opinion. [/QUOTE]
