Wealthy, upper class and I never tell the truth on polls.
Yeah, there really should be-- there's people who can afford to pay a tenth of their income, and people who can afford to live off a tenth of their income.
I'm just saying... if your parents can afford to put three children through college on their own, they're wealthy.
First, refer to this image:

I am democrat, voted for Obama, I fall under lower middle class smack dab in the middle of it making my situation better than roughly 54% of Americans.
Capitalist class? Really?
Working below poverty surviving only on my small checks and the money I had saved before the economic collapse. Voted for Gary Johnson.
Amen - people keep voting for the big two as if they're going to change something - they aint gonna change jack ****.
Is this one of those idiotic republicans are for the rich and democrats are for the poor idiotic polls despite the fact democrats are just as rich as republicans and toss the salad of businesses just as much as republicans do?
I guess "capitalist class." I own my own farm and do woodwork and other random things. I'm libertarian.
:shrug: take it for what it's worth - but I would recommend buying against a new car unless you are otherwise debt free and can pay for it in cash. Even then, buying brand new is like taking 25K and investing it in a stock that you know is going to lose 2/3rds of it's value over the next three years. Unless you can afford that kind of loss.....

I have greatly weighed the pros and cons in it and actually am relatively close to being debt free other than student loan. The pros include warranties, better insurance rates, mpg, and typically excellent resale value. Besides that I plan on paying for at least half up front, and having a piece of mind that parts in it I made out of raw materials and it was produced in Kentucky helping people I know out on a great top rated economically good car.
This isn't my definition. This is how economist and such term it. Here is more info on these defintions: Social class in the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
If you want to know what the resale value is, take a look at the same model from 2009. The difference between the price of the vehicle you are about to purchase and the blue book worth of that vehicle is the loss you will take on the resale. You will notice that the amount is likely greater than any savings on MPG, and I would argue, is significantly greater than the worth of the warranty. There is a reason they sell you warranties - they make a killing off of them.
In addition, if you still have debt, the last thing you need to be doing is loading yourself up with more, man. I mean it's your life and all, but you're a good dude - don't screw yourself over on this deal.
