I've got an 03 Camry now. I've had it since 2010.
I'm not the type that needs a new, snazzy car to whip around. I am tired of constantly worrying about my next big repair, though. Some days I just want to say **** it and buy a new car but realize by pocketing the $2,000-3,000 down payment and $300-400 monthly payments I could pay for any major repairs pretty handily.

Yeah. I've never owned anything new either. Recently I've bought some newer used ones and have had good luck. The only lemon I've ever driven was a combine. I'd have preferred a lemon car.

If he doesn't need a pickup he could trade it in for a cheaper car. Used pickups have stupid value ATM.
