My car is 10 years old. I'd like to buy a new car but can't afford it. Saving for a wedding. I won't be putting much into the economy beyond needs for the next year or so. - Alex "Maverick" Scoble
Hehe, thanks for the tip, Bob...too bad she's on the other side of the country. - Alex "Maverick" Scoble
mines a year old but I don't think I'd buy a new car 'to help the auto industry out' if I had an older one, unless I actually needed a new car. spending thousands of dollars to 'help out' is not in my budget. - John Duff
no new car here either, I had to give back a 2006 car because it was too costly after gas prices skyrocketed. - David Ward
the govt just gave the US automakers $25 billion but I don't think that will be enough if things don't turn around. - David Ward
Yeah, David...they should've included a swift kick in the ass along with that money. The American car companies...just...don't...get...it. Why is it that Toyota makes better, more reliable cars with fewer defects than the US guys using pretty much the same workforce? Why did Toyota build more factories in the US while Ford and GM moved them out to Mexico and Canada? - Alex "Maverick" Scoble
I have two new cars and can't afford more. Mine is a Saturn Aura. - Robert Scoble
My car is 3 years old and I don't need a new one yet. - Morton Fox
Could argue that Walmart being busy is not necessarily a good barometer of the economy. Now if you went to Ethan Allen or Williams Sonoma... - Alex "Maverick" Scoble
