Hear ya Vlad, but I have been stung a couple times buying a used vehicle (transmission went in one 250 km after purchase), and looking for something reliable for the lady to drive from Lethbridge to Claresholm with.

I was thinking five or six years, not because we can't afford it, but within two years she'll be doing her masters, and I am going to have to shoulder the payments alone. This way we can keep payments low and put a bunch down on principal ASAP.
