Just to clarify: I guess I insinuated in an earlier post that we would purchase a "new" car - but what I meant was "new to us"! Frankly, we couldn't swing the payments on a new car, even if we wanted to take the depreciation on one! We would only be looking at used cars, in the 3-6 year old range - but even they are higher than I had anticipated. And, quite frankly, I wouldn't want to buy a Ford again (and probably not even American, though my parents swear by their Dodge Caravan), which would add several thousand more to the price (if I could even find a used Toyota or Nissan around here, which are hard to come by).
