I'm 68 years old and have never ever bought a brand new vehicle.

I guess I never felt I had the budget to do so. Didn't want the payments. Or maybe just wanted to spend money on other things.

I've had great experiences buying from Auto Trader, eBay, and Craigslist.

Still have my '02 Silverado purchased in '05 with 90K on the clock - now with 235K and runs great. That one did come from a dealer who was a landscape client of mine - I told him what I was looking for and he found it in Georgia and brought it down for me. Out the door $12K.

And my '97 Volvo 850 5-speed wagon was only $6K from eBay. Only 79K one-owner miles.

I also have a good friend who owns a repo business - family owned for 60 years and is global. Back in the 80's I got two from him. Those were great cars and very inexpensive.

Going to buy something new would be a new experience, that's for sure...
