To me the sweet spot is to buy a 3 year old car off lease and then keep it until it is 10 years old
That's what my son did.



My strategy was to drive something that had made at least one pass through a junkyard:



I had a visit from an architect I knew, and when we stepped out on that porch, he was daily driving a black 1950s Bentley about a half-block long.

Lately, I lean toward buying new to get one less wheel and tandem seating. And the warranty.
