Looked at buying a new Honda Accord a couple weeks ago. By cleaning out what money I have put away and trading my current Accord in, the payments would be right around $300 per month, plus increased insurance premium.

When the cost of repairs for these vehicles exceeds $200 per month over the course of a year ($2400 total in one year), then I'll start thinking about purchasing a newer vehicle. :)
