Hi `Ted, I'm just happy that we have so many choices in vehicles to choose from & to fit our budget....I've learned it's not fun to have a car that owns you....& you don't have the funds to enjoy driving it, or maintain it properly....I've met many that have new cars, & they don't have money to do anything else in life...
I do wish I had a AweSome Monte like yours, but I'll keep dreaming & saving : )
But let's face it: When all is said and done, most of us don't base decisions on such a detailed accounting of the costs. Comfort, style, image, safety, convenience and reliability -- these are the forces motivating the vast majority of Americans who decide to buy a new car. So be it. The important thing is to choose the right car and get to the best possible deal. <!-- / message -->
Thanks `Member's for your post/comments and sharing your experiences when it comes to keeping what you have or going in debt to buy a new one

I've owned them too long to get rid of now.

My Monte will never leave my life, it means more to me then almost anything in this world...Yes getting a new car is great and I'd like to always keep adding to my collection, but monte will forever be in my stable...
