Okay, this one is very materialistic, but true. We have never owned a brand new car. We were looking to replace my 1993 Taurus station wagon with something else a few years ago. Just for kicks, I looked on Ebay and found this 2002 Ford Escape with only 1800 miles on it. That's about as close to new as we'll ever get! Including our flight to Houston TX to pick up the car and drive it home AND purchasing an extended warranty we still saved over $6,000 off of a comparable new vehicle.



I am very grateful to have reliable (it has been extremely reliable), comfortable, transportation and to know that repairs will be covered for several years on the car. Thanks Ebay!
