That reminds of my mistake I made. After joining the Navy in 1989 right after H.S, my parents gave me full cost to pay for a brand new car (Hyundai). I kept it for 5 years (clean and well maintained) when decided foolishly traded it for a brand new Dodge Avenger in 1994. At which time, I began making my first car payment ever. Big mistake! What I should have done is kept it for another 5 or 7 years and could have saved $20K - $22K car payments.
