I'm not dumb. I'll let someone pay $80k for the truck I want, be patient and then buy it for $20k after they've drove it for four years. Then I keep them for 20 years.

Nope. I've never owned a vehicle from the 21st century either, and I plan to try to keep it that way.

You used to buy a house for 80.000, now you’re lucky to buy a car 🚗, Gart

I've never earned enough to afford a new car, I bought a 2006 Nissan Note in 2017 for £3400 and I could only afford that because I sold the house and moved to somewhere cheaper.

When I was young I purchased new cars, and I purchased them frequently. As I grew older, i purchased used cars and I purchased them out of necessity, not to keep up with the Jones's

Most people who claim they have "purchased" a new car have actually just leased it. That's like saying you bought a new house because you rented it. Car companies have managed to trick people very successfully into thinking they actually own the car they pay monthly for 😂

My mom did it had a 1/2 mile on it when she drove it off the dealership lot. It was a 1997 Dodge Neon

1992 Nissan Sentra, 2001 BMW 3251, 2006 Honda Fit, 2012 Hyundai Veloster, 2016 Hyundai Elantra, 2020 Hyundai Kona, and a 2023 Ford Maverick. So, in the last 33 years, 7 brand new vehicles.

Always. I had a few "not so brand new" cars, but these were company cars or, literally, throwaways. Likewise, I passed my own cars within the (extended) family at no charge. Curiously, one of these - that I gave away in 2001 - is still running. But my driving story is gradually ending, current 17-year-old VW will probably be the last one.

I could never afford to buy a new car. Had an old house that needed high maintenance, so I bought used cars...and a truck for work...and had them repaired along the way as needed. I also maintained them and kept them a long time. Still have my '94 Escort, but bought a used Flex for good traction in winter.

Yes. Bought a Toyota Corolla and drove it for years. Then a Honda HRV (small SUV) and am still driving it.

A Citroen DS3 in 2014, a Mokka from Opel/Vauxhall in 2022, and now I’m currently waiting for my new Vauxhall Frontera to be delivered 🎉

Yes, in 2011. Cost was 6.395 which was the list price. The current model now retails for £18000.

My first new car was one of the worst, a Chrysler Avenger it creaked and rattled and the boot filled with water.

Three, all Toyota City Cars. The latest was bought four years ago. Yaris Ativ Turbo. Happy with them all.

In 2020, I bought a Dacia (Renault) Duster 1.6 16V in bare basic trim, new as a parallel import for €11,000! I installed a DAB radio, decent speakers, and wider wheels also have tint film applied to the rear windows. A wonderful car.
