"New anything is expensive. I got my Prelude used for 14k, 14 years ago
and I think I have my money's worth out of it. I am not sure why I
would get rid of it. I used to be hung up on flashy cars but now I
realize it is just a piece of metal that gets me from here to there.
It is not a measure of my self worth. I am far more interested in low
maintenance than high prestige. That is why I would never own a BMW."


Bingo....exactly the reason I switched to Toyota 7 years ago.
