Sure, but then you have car payments forever....

this of course gets into an endless loop of the best way to own a car.
In a day of $400 to $500/month payments, I think it makes a lot more sense to spend $10K to $14K for a decent used car, have smaller (or no) payments and keep the car after it's paid for. Even if you do like I do and keep a car for 8 to 10 years and end up maintaining multiple wear items on an older car, it's no where $4800 to $6000 a year. You save up front and if you invest some of the savings you're ahead and better able to deal with the curve balls life throws at you.
Just my opinion!
