I bought a 1992 Pontiac Bonneville with 64,000 miles in 2003 for $2,300. I just lost the water pump and had to spend $300 on the repair. When people hear this a lot of them say I should have bought new because I'm wasting money and all used cars are junk. Book value on the car was $3,500 when I bought it and I've only spent 600 on repairs (lost the AC compressor in 05') so I figure I got a deal anyway. The only thing thats faulty on Bonnevilles is the cooling system and thats after 10+ years of use. All other components will last forever.
My parents spent 14,000 total on a 98' Crown Vic and a 99' Mazda p/u in 02' they've only had 500 in repairs on each in almost 5 years. They bought both from a reputable dealer and had them inspected.
It annoys me when people tell me spending 2900 total is worse than 20000 on a new vehicle. Don't these people think? All of the vehicles we have bought have been consumer reports best buys for used cars. Not everyone wants to have a 7 year car loan!
It's really irritating to have some stranger tell me that my paid-in-cash vehicle is worse than their paying-lots-of-interest fees on car. I just moved into the suburbs from a rural area and get this a lot up here. Back home, no one said this to me.

I am just simply washing the car. It is basicly a vehicle shower, with of course soap. It is soap (obviously car soap) and water. I will wash everypart of outside car. These are my parents, so I will also clean the outside. I will be washing 1 car (silver Honda) and 1 truck (a gold-tone Dodge). I will be washing the outside and cleaning out the inside of both. They are both filty inside and out! Inside is filled with junk, such as clothing, and papers. Mud is on the outside. So that is it, I tried to make this as clear as possible!
Thanks You So Muchhhh!
