They decrease in price if you keep them long enough.

No payments on my 04WRX for 12 years. Car runs like new.
No payments on an 05 Acura MDX for 9 years. Car runs great.

I do all my own maintenance that I can.

Neither are as nice as a new car, but damn they get cheaper every month. I mean they work just as well as my 16 BRZ which I am paying $500 a month right now. But I will own that soon so the BRZ will get cheaper by years end.

I realize that younger folks pay higher insurance and stuff, so multiple vehicles can get expensive, especially if you don’t wrench.

Benefits of age, good credit, good jobs, no accidents or tickets is paying $260 a month insurance for 4 vehicles. And that’s in NY.
