QOTD: Have You Held Back on a New-Car Purchase?
So now I ask of you -- have you held back on a new-car purchase? Or, for that matter, a used-car purchase?
If so, why? Is simply a lack of funds? Is it a matter of "want" versus "need" -- maybe you want a new car, but you don't need one, at least not right now. Or maybe the high average transaction prices are keeping you on the sidelines.
It's an easy one today. You know what to do.
Sound off below.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.
