Yar, that was my old joke. With any car, you will always be making payments. The difference is with a new car, you know *when* you'll be making payments. With a used car, you'll still make payments, you just don't know *when*. In the old daze, I saw those as adding up to the same amount of money. Today, with enough savvy, the used car "payments" will stay lower than the new car payments.
