[...] so I went to a mortgage broker and paid a higher
interest rate and never missed a payment ...
...and I was driving a 14 year old car.

But, 10 years later, it was a whole nuther story..

It's a 24 yr old car now? :D

I built and rode a 1946 Harley Knucklehead motorcycle for a few
years... does that count? B)

Mine is coming up to 18. It's showing its age.

That was back when I got my first house in 1975. By 1986 when I quit
my job and moved up here. By then I was moving from a pretty flashy
new 2 story brick home in Brampton and I had a 2 year old motorcycle
and was driving a brand new Thunderbird..

Right now I have a 2017 Ford Escape that I bought when it was about
4 years old and only had about 60,000 km on it when I got it..
It still has less that 70,000 on it.. B)

The Ford dealer in my town has a 2021 Escape listed for

>$22.995. 97,398KM. SEL AWD

Do you think the $'s are too much for that one?

The dollars have gone up on used cars so that doesn't sound too bad.
You have to add $1500 or so since it has AWD. I paid about $15,500
for mine but that was considered a bargain at the time. They had to
play with the trade-in price to give me that rate. The dealer wouldn't
drop it any lower than the sticker price since they had just dropped
it by 10%, so they gave me an extra $500 for my 15 year old trade in
where others were offering me $500 for it and they gave me $1000.
