That is the exact thought that prompted me to pay off my vehicle years ago and stay payment free ever since.
The trick is to buy good solid vehicles to start with and then keep up the maintenance.
I've done pretty good on my purchases so far. My 04 Cummings Dually was the only one that really cost me money in the last 15 years but it was an ex oil field truck and a flat out bad decision on my part.
I purchased my 02 Dodge 1500 for $7K and drove it for 200k miles.
I then bought a low mileage, single owner 03 for $4500 and drove it for almost 4 years. This one was the real dissapointment as it had probably 8-10 more good years left in it. Unfortunately, it was recently totaled.
Who knows with my current truck. It was lady driven and lady maintained which means she put gas in it and that is about it. I got a good enough deal on it but it's been lots of little things and a couple big things to get it back up to OCD standard.
