[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3083402, member: 15054"] I never got a new car . never understood why so many people get them and know it is a loss. worst investment you can ever make.. but it is not an investment I know. Here is my take. If I was held at gunpoint and had to spend a lot of money on a car it would be a restored or well worked over classic car that will always get the money back or more. You will say You want reliability and do not want to work on it.. cold air comfy ride etc etc. Well my answer to that is many old cars like 1969 camaro or older chevy or fords even chrysler products restored and updated with new model suspension and drivetrain .. they are everywhere and cost less many times than a new car and will be just as reliable if it is done right. That is the bad part ..IF it is done right. New cars never thrilled me. a free one maybe but to pay what they want and then 10 years later it is worth 1/20 of what you gave for it. I am probably the only one who thinks that way. Because there are sure a lot of new cars being bought and sold. [/QUOTE]
