Not sure why you even mention this? Considering we're talking about having a payment your entire life, I would imagine this was understood.
Because you've been brainwashed that you have to have a car payment your whole life - that's the point - YOU DON'T HAVE TO - if you DO it costs you millions. If you don't, it doesn't - thus my original point.

I never said buying a new car every 5 years was a better deal financially
Whew. I'm glad we agree on something. I'm tempted to leave it at that.

but it is intellectually dishonest to keep saying millions when it isn't after you factor in everything.
No it isn't - I showed you how it is millions - over the time period you specified.

You're MO appears to be to only tell half the story to try to make a point.
Your MO appears to be using non-money factors to make decisions (which - of course is perfectly okay - as long as you do it with your eyes open) - and then do mental gymnastics to make it seem like a smart decision, financially. However, that is self-delusion - and good luck with it.

Can you read? Did I say I have to have it? And there you go again with that half truth millions number.

Seriously starting to get convinced about your inability to read.

You ignored all the costs you would have to use an older car. That's a half truth whether you feel like admitting it or not.

how is looking at what costs me less money in the long run using mental gymnastics or looking at non money factors?
