I bought used, got a good deal and I'm only breaking even after a couple years. But I financed the whole thing so that's not a surprise. I've been in that situation where I owed more than the car was worth and I couldn't get out of the money pit the car was becoming... its tough especially if you really need the car.

Pretty simple, really. For those unlucky souls who financed a car BEFORE reading these sage words of advice ;) great post, thanks!

I really wouldn't even own one if I didn't need one because I can't stand how expensive they are. Out in the countryside with two kids, I have no choice, since the mass transit stinks. I own my 1998 Jetta now, but it just passed the 100,000-mile mark, the warantee (which has always been more limited than I originally was led to believe, in my opinion) is up. I took the thing in for a simple oil change the other day, and I was advised that I would need to invest money in some repairs and parts if I wanted to keep from breaking down on the side of the road or risk the lives of myself and my little passengers. Ugh! I'm at that stage of car ownership when I need to put the equivalent of a car payment into maintenance... My husband has wanted to put a FOR SALE sign in the window for some time now. No matter what, you can't win! Cars… I really wouldn’t even own one if I didn’t need one because I can’t stand how expensive they are.
