I've had my eye on a 3rd car - sports car. ANyway, I Always figured maybe spend $5k in a few years. I saw some pretty decent buys in the $3k-$4k range lately. I started looking after seeing a blog that pointed out the desparate listings on Craigslist. Of course we live in foreclosure central.
I am with you Joan. Might be a good time to buy some used furniture as well. If things continue like this we will certainly jump on some deals.
This is the upside I guess to living in the land of super expensive. We have always had a pretty strong yard sale economy. I think this is one reason I am much less wary of used cars than the average forum member. There are so many to be had here in tip top shape because the previous owners got bored after a year or 2. I can't imagine buying new with this abundance of "barely used" inventory.
But the recent price drops are amazing. No one's buying; everyone's selling. Woohoo for us.
