we might have to consider buying a distressed MI vacation property or perhaps wait a bit for a 10 year, no interest deal for a new vehicle purchase. Our vehicles are past their 10 year hold period with which we always operate. Although the plan is to buy a nice used vehicle and save a few bucks. BUT, the economy has placed pricing, as expected; for used vehicles to much higher levels.
hank...........any good housing deals in your area ???

One may suppose there are those who feel guilty about buying a new car. We just happen to have a pattern of a new car every 10-12 years. We drive the vehicle to a point of not be in disrepair as to cause a hazard to our, or anyone else's well being or safety.
With a related note, I recall a talking head on the tube and concerned about the ability of AutoZone and similar companies maintaining earnings. I do not find this to be a problem, unless company management has a big, brain fart. There will be plenty of folks for years to come who will indeed repair their own vehicles or have the neighbor do it for some cash; and buy the parts cheaper at an AutoZone or similar. Whatever it will take to not have to buy a "newer" vehicle, of which; the monies are not in their budget.

Hi Maurice,
The "MI" is for Michigan.
Agree about buying a used car from an unknown owner. We would shop this area buying from a good owner.
