"They are all $20K cars" -someone here said. All this talk of purchase(buy-in) price ignores the Stay-in cost. We've hashed this out many times but basically you need $20k before you buy.Whatever isn;t taken by the Purchase cost needs to be saved and budgeted for repairs.I am not talking about routine maintenance - repairs. If you have a nest egg left over after a few years - that is a bonus !
The short version is to buy a very well maintained car with a long, known history - just to reduce(but not eliminate) risk.
