The problem with this method is that by the time a car requires $200 or more
a month to keep it on the road, the inconvenience of having to repair the
car every month would be far too great for me to tolerate.  Also, by the time
a car is this unreliable, I would be afraid to take the car on a long trip
away from home for fear of a breakdown....

Of course, if you are willing to put up with these two problems, you'll come
out ahead money-wise if you wait that long to trade.
