I recently read a story equating the car buying process to getting a root canal. The only difference is that car salesman don’t give you laughing gas or novocaine to numb the pain. They seem to inflict more of it.
As it relates to me, I am a car flipper. I have never kept a car more than a few years. I would buy a vehicle, get bored with it after two years and want to trade it in for a new one. While I was never “upside down” in my car, I don’t think I made smart purchase decisions.
Friends consistently asked why I didn’t lease a car. Frankly, I never thought leasing was an option. I am someone who puts 15,000-plus miles on my car per year traipsing from Frisco to Arlington to Downtown Dallas to Fort Worth and beyond covering sports in DFW. I thought I would get tripped up in the mileage game.
