Yeah, I have one car that is 21 years old and the other is 17 years old. They still drive great and have no issues. I truly don't understand people that get new

Yeah, I have one car that is 21 years old and the other is 17 years old. They still drive great and have no issues. I truly don't understand people that get new cars every 2-3 years. Not having a car payment for decades is great. Plus our insurance is super cheap.
- Infinitesimus 5y ago2-3 years is leasing territory (which some people do because they enjoy changing vehicles often.) Car safety is much much better now than they were 5+ years ago however so it is not unreasonable for someone to change cars that often. I'd certainly not want to be in a 10yr old car in a highway accident if I could help it. (Also, some newer cars are just nicer to drive with creature comforts people care about)
- lallysingh 5y agoif you grow up with old unreliable cars, you dont want to repeat that experience.
- vmladenov 5y agoBut old and unreliable are not necessarily dependent metrics.
- irrational 5y agoThat sounds like a maintenance problem rather than an old problem. If you stay on top of maintenance old cars can be just as reliable as a new car (and potentially even more reliable since new doesn't necessarily mean bug free).
