This is a perfect example. I have had the same car for 6 years which I bought used and am hoping to squeeze another 5 out of it. Cars are one of those things I hate spending money on.
- marketgod 8y agoDon't forget to calculate the increasing maintenance cost, gas cost, and risk of using an older car.
- skookumchuck 8y agoIf you buy an American car, the maintenance isn't so bad. The taxes are low on older cars, as well as insurance. The risk is real, there's been excellent progress in crashworthiness.
- marketgod 8y agoIn America maybe? Here the maintenance on a car is insane, Canada.
- 20years 8y agoThis is a good point. So far I have had no maintenance other than oil changes/tune-ups. Once things start breaking down to where I have to spend $$ to keep it going, that is when I will buy a newer used car. I also mainly use it for local around town driving. If I go on a long trip, I rent a car.
