<p>[QUOTE=&quot;LA_Geezer, post: 3630517, member: 89393&quot;]It&#039;s true, <i>everybody drives a used car</i>.&nbsp; My 2010 car was bought brand spanking new at the end of the model year. It is a very popular sport model that, even today, gets lots of compliments. I drove almost 200 miles to a small-town dealership that still had one in the limited edition paint color I wanted. A friend of the past 30 years asks me if he can buy my car from me whenever I am ready to buy another new car, but he knows that I usually keep a car for at least 15 years. My 1992 Honda Accord—the worst built car I ever owned—was an exception as the repair bills started mounting within days after my warranty expired. Like my current car, it had been driven fewer miles than allowed in the then 3-year warranty. Still, my wife loved the thing, so I dumped the price of a new car into it for her over the next couple of years, but then traded it in on a brand new Mercury Grand Marquis that she has been driving trouble free for the last 19 years. She insists that it&#039;s the best car we&#039;ve ever owned. <i>That&#039;s</i> why somebody might buy a new car.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
