Yup, I agree 100% as I'm currently in that situation. My last car was written off over a year ago and we've been a one car family ever since. That's not going to be feasible in the near future so I'm forced to get off my ass and go car shopping.
I've saved for years and have a reasonable amount built up and it's almost making it harder to buy a car as it just seems like such a larger decision than a monthly car payment.. it's actually driving me nuts trying to pick a car in a price range that provides me peace of mind and/or good value.
That being said, I don't know how people waste such volumes of money when it comes to new cars... I'd have trouble sleeping at night.
