Paul Taylor, chief economist at the National Automobile Dealers Association, says that “[t]here are tremendous bargains for customers looking for basic transportation.”

I never plan on buying a new car in my lifetime. I feel having a used car rather than a new car has no tangible effect on my lifestyle. Not only am I saving money with my purchase, but I am saving at least an additional $100 a month on Insurance. (I live in Massachusetts, where auto insurance is quite expensive)
