I figure this might light a fire around here...oh, well. :lol:
I realized that I had a vehicle that applied to the CARS program:
143k miles, peeling paint, body damage, etc. It has actually been in "insurance worthy" accidents five times under the ownership of my father-in-law, the original owner. We had it for three years, it never once left us stranded, and it accomplished a lot of things for us we could have not otherwise done. We got $3500 for it; more than we paid for it, and a ton more than anyone would ever pay us for it. We are at a point in life where we finally wanted to have a "nice" car, and this gave us an excuse to check the box for new car ownership. Up until now, every car has been paid for in cash.
