Hometeam, I know I talk big about paying cash for used cars, but something has been creeping into my mind lately, and I know it's based on emotion.
Is there a good financial reason to buy a new pickup/suburban? It's hard for me to get over paying a ton of money unless I have a good basis for it. If I can mix some solid reasoning with my rationalization I might go for it in the future. |

The problem is, few of them are financial unless its something like say.. you are looking at extremely low mileage newish pre-owned ones and you can get a new one for only a little more, or that you don't plan on trading for a very long time and want to get the most life out of a vehicle. Most reasons to buy new have to do with not potentially ending up with someone elses problem, (which could be financial, but could also be accomplished with a program vehicle etc) wanting worry free driving with warranty, wanting the newest body style or latest and greatest gadget, or just plain not wanting any one elses grimy hands all over your baby, and less to do with finances. |

I got a thousand below on my truck at the dealership. I took it because it burnt/leaked oil bad and some engine problems that caused me to get 11mpg. I also did not want to deal with scum that waste your time on the private market. I looked into it, there were about a 100 of my truck there not selling. So when they just said we would give you 7500, I took it.
KBB was 8500. |

I just bought new instead of used. When it came down to financing my monthly payment was going to be the same on a brand new car vs a year old car with 13,000 miles. So buying new isn't always the worse option.

Not sure if I should keep the car I have, enjoy no car payment in two years. Or trade it in for what was discussed.

My buddy started one three years ago. The capital you need is really how much you are going to put into it, I know in Missouri though you have to sell a certain number of cars each year don't know what it is in Florida though. He does pretty well at it, his trouble is the lot situation. I think he finally might have a permanent one that he is buying.

That's always true. Pay 4k for a used car sell for 8, easy math.
