SLYboogie Sophomore Author Colorado Springs Posts:132 Points:78,760 Joined:Feb 2010	Message Posted: Mar 21, 2010 11:26:54 PM Ignore SLYboogie Report Abuse I think new cars are awesome! Personally, I hate purchasing a vehicle and having to repair something rather expensive/major within the first year getting it! Honestly, a car is an immediate depreciation no matter how nice, what type, et cetera and so on... Conversely, a house is an immediate appreciation of one's funds. Thus, priorities must always be clearly defined and recognized. I'd say if a good deal was chasing you down, and it is your time to purchase a new (used) vehicle....Then go for it! To each his own.
