Although, some people need to for a couple of reasons. One, totally mechanically impaired. Two, have to have "status" at work to take the muckity mucks to lunch, can't be driving a taurus when you do that. haha

Yup. No wonder there is such a forclosure and debt problem rate in this nation. Trade up? HAHAHA, after a couple years most people are still upside down in their car loans vs. the car value.
For the record I keep my cars for the usable life. Life without a car payment - folks should try it.
