Thread: How much do you spend buying a vehicle?

Do the maths, (I haven’t looked into new car prices for a few years) my old boss bought a new Toyota van and kept it for 5 years then traded it for a new one. Cost was 10k to change it over that’s 2 k a year. At the same time the 5 year old vans were loosing the same amount per year. It was a no brainer and he had five years of trouble free driving.
I’m a 5k type every 5 years but I’m an ex mechanic so I’m not worried about running repairs.
The best cars I’ve owned have been the cheapest.
P.S. my boss buys me a new vehicle every 3 years, it doesn’t take long for them to become second hand.
