Exactly. Financing a car is insane unless you keep it for 15-20 years.
It’s simple math but hardly anyone pays attention.

My auto is a 19, going on 20 year old Pontiac Vibe (they don’t make them anymore) in mint condition, as I bought it the year before I retired in 2003; only 38,000 miles on it, and I hope it lasts until I croak or can’t drive anymore, whichever comes first.
I love my car, a small 4 door SUV, fire engine red, and I’ll bet even in spite of its age, I could sell it used for a great price. Pontiac Vibes were a hybrid car, a partnership between the Japanese automakers and the U.S.
Engine and innards were Japanese, body and design were GM, so the best of both worlds, great long lasting engines/guts inside; beautiful design outside.
Great mileage; I love my small SUV. Perfect for me. Don’t drive much anymore in my dotage, so should last for quite a few more years with proper upkeep. I hope to park it in front of my tombstone. We are going to go together.
