amen brother!! i see the poll is roughly half/half. thats quite heartening to see. i know in australia, WAAAY to many people get loans for cars. and quite often they are just second hand pieces of poo anyway. hell, my $2500 1971 VW is more reliable than many of my friends 2000ish model $15000 ford glumpem or toyota doodad...

Jerry Seinfeld:
Not many people actually own their car, man. A very small percentage of the population anyway.

I was with you right up 'till this point.  I find this statement somewhat incredible.

btp2k2:
I own all three cars.

Paladin:
3 more payments and I'll own my car (2003 Mustang GT).  I made a big mistake and traded in a car that I owed more than its value, and bought a new car.  Between that and interest I've paid thousands more than the thing is worth.  I've told myself that I'll keep this one until it falls apart.

Here's another question, how many buy new vs. used?  My current car is the only new car I've ever bought.  I went to the dealership to get a 2 or 3 year old car, but let myself be talked into getting a new one.  I'll never get a new car again, too much depreciation right off the lot.
