Ends up costing me around $200-$250 per month to save for the next car plus maintenance and repairs, which typically runs around $50/mo on the average over the long term. Pretty good numbers in my opinion.

It's the folks that harp on it being the best and least expensive option that bug me. It isn't the cheapest, far from it, and so long as you understand that going in but have your own personal motivations for doing so, then it is fine.

The cheapest would be to take the bus, but at lease you kind of get what we are saying.
