Especially buying a  $30,000 car for cash.

That's great! Especially, if it runs ok, and doesn't need too much work   It also helps if you're good at fixing them.  I wish I was a little better.  But, I've got 86,000 miles, on mine, so I'm hoping I won't have to part with car money for some time.  Hopefully!

I have a 1995 Kia Sephia with only 47000 miles. It needs about 700$ of work but I've had it for almost 2 years and it runs great. I put in a new Battery 4 new tires a new alternator and I had a 200$ repair on the brakes. But compare that to a 400$ a month car bill.

$17,000 for a Honda accord.  Brand New.  But my next car purchase may be used.

That's a good buy!  Never go wrong with that one!

I paid $8,500 for a 2004 Kia Amanti with all the premium features, had 60,000 miles on it when I bought it. I got it below blue book value and it looks really nice.





Infinity 7.1 surround sound system came stock with it, I really like it.

The prices in the USA seem to be much lower than in Europe.

I paid a lot for a nice car last year... After all I paid about $25K for mine... With insurance it turns into a good deal I pay for my automobile, including the apatite this car has. But because I my drive is so long each day I get to enjoy what I am paying for...

My present car still functions well, albeit at least once a year it needs major work these days. It's still cheaper than buying something comparable new or in decent used condition.
