    No, he means the bank owns your car. You are paying them to use it. Aka "renting"

    The first time I set eyes on Mary Swanson, I just got that old fashioned romantic feeling where I'd do anything to bone her.

    My other question is...since you're 22 years old, why would you want to put yourself in debt for a $24,900 car? A car is the single worst investment you can make, especially since it depreciates the moment you drive it off the lot.

    I get it, though...after being the unfortunate owner of several recalcitrant VWs in my life that left me stranded in the worst of circumstances, I finally decided to buy a brand new Civic back in 1998 that was $11,000 once I had A/C installed. I needed to rebuild my credit in the worst way, and had come into some money. I put more than half down on the car I bought, and paid it off in full less than two years later.

    2002...bought another new Civic because I gave the '98 to my husband.

    Oct. 2007--1998 Civic got rear-ended by a tractor trailer. Walked away unscathed. Miss that car to this day. Bought a new 2008 Honda Element because my husband didn't want me in a small car after that. Paid it off in full two years later.

    Sold Element in 2012 for $11K. Put money in the bank.

    Still driving my 2002 Civic, which is beaten beyond ugly (from my teen learning to drive with it) and it's still plugging along with 185K miles.

    Money in the bank is way better than driving a cool car. No car payments, no credit issues.

    Getting ready to drop $1000 into the 2002 Civic to give it a mechanical exorcism. Friend is a professional mechanic. If I can get another 100K miles out of the car, I'll be happy.

    Will I buy another new car in the future? Depends.

    It was the 98 Civic that got hit by the semi.

    And 285K is really nothing for a Honda.

    Some of the Honda and Toyota from the 80s and 90s were good. The only problems were that the engines would start showing subtle signs of wear at about 300,000 miles.
