Hahahaha - so true. My wife has a new car and I still do the service work myself as Nissan is a huge rip in this regard. Kinda like a pre-paid engine program. No thanks - I will just service the car and buy any parts as they arise.

As for new cars, bought one, love it dearly, but often wonder what else I'd have by now if I had settled for the 2Yr old one I had my eye on (as it would have been paid off by now and I'd have an extra 900 a month on my car budget!) So I doubt I'll buy brand new again, otherwise I'll be forever in debt to Ford ;) |
