Yes, 41 and 1 new car, sounds odd! I keep my cars a long time, and don't drive many of miles. I still have my only new purchase, an '89 Toyota PU with 180,000 miles. Also a '65 Mustang, decidedly used, '99 YZF600 I actually bought new, and a 2000 K2500 to tow my Formula Ford, (Private party sale for $22,000).
I have been maxing out my 401K contribution for several years now, and never carry a credit card balance, paid off each month.
I've been putting $400 a month into a savings account for close to 2 years to make sure I can handle a monthly payment. With 10K down various purchasing costs my payment would be $435 max.
