I would never drive a 10-year-old vehicle as a daily driver just because of reliability and safety issues. On the other hand, I haven’t had a car payment for over 40 years. The trick is when you pay the car off continue to deposit the same amount in a savings account, and you’ll never need to finance another car again. I get a new vehicle every 2 to 3 years, trade in the old one pay cash for the difference.
