To avoid running beater and in general cars that suck in comfort and make you look like a cheap student, I buy a slightly damaged salvage title vehicle for about 1/3rd of the going market rate. I put maximum 2-3k in it and have myself a nice, comfortable and modern car. I drive it for 2-3 years and then sell for about the same it cost me in total. Sometimes it comes out a bit more.

But like everybody says, in general, keep something for as long as possible and do not pay a mechanic to work on your car, that's the formula to eliminate vehicle expenses. What else would you spend your money on in a car?
