I am blessed to make a very good living and we have three cars......but all are ‘older’: a ‘93 Suburban with almost 200K miles, a 2000 Saturn with about 125K miles, and a ‘97 Acura with a like amount on it, too.
What do they all have in common? They all run just great........and they’re all paid for.
I went through the stage in life where we were swapping out cars on a regular basis. No more. I realized just how much I hate having a car payment. :)

Same here. I got to the point where if I cannot afford to pay cash for it, I don’t buy it.
We have a 92 Toyota truck with 70k, a 98 Toyota Avalon with 75k, and in 2004 we paid cash for a 2001 Jag (from a wholesaler).
We have not had a car payment since 1996! We are gonna keep it that way. ;)
