Want to be really smart and savvy? Don't buy any car. Dump the $5,000 to $13,000 yearly expense (AAA car cost report) and invest those savings while getting exercise bicycling, walking, taking transit, carpooling, or even occasionally renting a car. In ten years you'll have over $75,000 in cash and likely more, you'll be healthier to boot. Fitter and financially free....only excuses will keep you from that wonderful goal....
