It all depends on your situation. Having a vehicle that I can transport large objects in may occasionally be useful, but having a vehicle that I can fit in my tiny alley driveway or into a typical Philly street parking situation is something that's useful pretty much every day for me.

Leave the lot of the BMW joint and go straight for the FORD joint. Don't worry friend, Ford will take care of you.

You can say what you want about Ford but every car I've ever owned has been a Ford and they will take care of you, and that Ford will take a beating. First On Race Day.

They're good vehicles. They're just not the only good vehicles. It also helps if you don't buy they're sedans. Trucks or a mustang.

Oh definitely. The F series (trucks) is outstanding and the mustangs are great. I had a little Ford Bronco I drove until the engine blew up after a couple thousand miles.

Go on Craigslist and find someone old selling their car. They take good care of them and they hardly drive, and if they do it's slow as fuck.

I just bought a used car, 2010, 30 mpg, compared to my current 2004 15 mpg. That means I will save like $100 a month. The car payment with financing is $120/month. I was basically forced to do this though, because my current car won't pass safety inspection (which is required in Canada for registration renewal) and the repairs are upwards of 4k.

Some advice if you're a first time carbuyer and you're going to a car dealer:

When they first drew me up, the total cost was 10k more than the price of the car, and I walked away without signing, taking a copy of the receipt with me, and researched all the **** they signed me up for and told me I would need. I then promptly had them remove a bunch of bull**** they had (particularly this thing called GAP protection which makes no sense with a down payment). I also had them remove this bs rust protection device that they put on the plan. When they had pitched it, it all sounded like it was part of the purchase and never brought up price, but then when I saw the itemized list and he was pressusing me to sign, I noped out of there. Monthly payments were going to be $250 before I got all the bull**** removed.
