I had to wait till I was 55 years old to get my car. With my daughter working and married and my son in his last year of collage that was when I could afford to get my car. I'm glad I made the move than because cars were $15 to $20 K.

I would not think prices will drop. But think of it this way. You will be able to sell your car for at least what you paid for it so you really have your dream car that will only cost you maintenance cost.
