My last new “vehicle” was in 2015 (motorcycle). My last new car purchase was in ‘94. Bought a used ‘98 pickup in 2000.
I graduated college in 1991. Since that time I have owned 4 vehicles. And i still own 2 of them. My newest is a 2000, my oldest and main vehicle was built in october 1966 and regularly gets battered and beaten 4 wheeling.
I can more than afford a new overpriced vehicle without batting an eye, but feel no need whatsoever to waste money in that manner. There are litterally thousands of things that money could be better spent on.
