View Full Version : Have you bought a new (to you) vehicle in the past six months (more or less)?
I hear how bad everything is lately, but it seems everyone I know, and even people I don't really know on message boards I frequent seems to be buying new cars, so for this informal poll I thought I'd ask ST:
Have you bought a new (to you) vehicle in the past six months (more or less)?
Yes, though mine was prompted by an accident and was mostly covered by the other driver's insurance.
I have as well, I bought mine six months ago tomorrow.

No and I won't be buying one anytime soon.

Yes...mostly because my car was having chronic trasmission problems that I was not willing to pay for after the warranty went out. They gave me a good trade in plus I got my new(slightly used) car at about 4K below blue book.
I will probably never buy a brand new car again. It is much smarter to get a year old used one that has low mileage. You can save a ton of cash and it's easier to talk a dealership down on a used car.

^Speaking of smarter. Has anybody here bought a smart car?
For the record my vehicle was used (So new to me with 39K miles) and I got it for about 4K under book as well.

LOL, another good question, I wonder how many of us bought more fuel efficient vehicles, especially in light of the Cash For Clunkers program.
My vehicle actually gets worse MPG than my previous one.
