When should I get a new car?

Question

My current car is a 93 Camry SE v6 (manual) with 210K miles. lol she's still kicking. I'm worries she might give out any day. I only drive about 15-20 miles a day, so she doesnt get too much wear and tear. I want to get a camry 07, but I have student loans, and I dont want to get more loans = (

I make about 70K a year. Any ideas?

my car is paid off its about 13 years old now.

Answer 1

Maybe you should start saving up money. you know just to have like a fund for your new car. Buying a car is expensive and stressing so don't buy one at the wrong time or it could mess all your financial things. Maybe you should think of getting a cheaper car because with the cost of gas and the cost of a new car you aint gone make it. But you don't want to end having no car at all when the old one finally dies out.

Answer 2

you should get a new car when 1) You are having to put more money in the one that you are now driving then it is worth. 2) If the car that you are driving now is ten years or older and you have it paid off. 3) Or if you have enough money that you need to spend some of it and if that is the case you can throw some of it my way I wouldn't mind it a bit.

Answer 3

Put a little bit aside every month for a new car and just wait for the old one to conk out. No point in getting a new car if the old one is fine.

Answer 4

I suggest you to buy a 1994 (Or newer) Japanese 4 cylinder car.

You will save a lot of money on gasoline.

I also suggest you wait on the 2007 until you have paid in full your student loans.

If the car you have still working, then stay with it. Put a new car in your budget. The moment you are capable financially, sell it and buy a new car.
