Re: How new is your newest vehicle?

My daily driver is a 1994 Suburban, 140,000 miles and going strong.<br />My wife's is a 1995 Nissan Altima with about the same miles, starting to show its age.<br />I also have a 2002 Polaris Sportman, but its not driven on the street, so I'm not sure if it counts.

Re: How new is your newest vehicle?

Something I would like to say though, not everyone has the ability of some of us like OZ and me to keep these older rigs on the road so I can see why some by new, sort of. However, you can get great deals from people that bought new and cant keep them, or from buying from lending institutions like banks and credit unions. You get them most often for the wholesale price. If you buy a vehicle that is a couple years old, it may only have abought 20,000-40,000 miles on it and have most of the recalls taken care of and save as much as $10,000.00 dollars.<br /><br />Another reason younger people buy new is that most dealers have a first time buy plan with no money down options. They love to sucker young people, It should be against the law to buy a vehicle with no money down. Your upside down from the moment you drive off the lot and you will never ever catch up just making the minimum payments.
