I Think I'll Stick With Craigslist...Buying a new car can be exciting, but is it really worth it?
After going to the MSP Auto Show, I realized something that I've heard from many different people. It's not worth it to buy a new car. They last about 10 years or 250,000 miles, whichever comes first.
At 100,000 miles the major repairs start. At 200,000 the same repairs have to be done again along with new ones.
