speaking to reliabilty issues... Posted by saabgirlie [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: philosophical and financial question, BrianD, Mon, 17 Mar 2003 13:33:42 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Well I get rid of a car when I don't feel confident that it can get me from point A to B and back to A. To me the intangible feeling of safety is paramount. I gotta feel safe. I'm not going to put any money into a car that I don't feel safe in or that I feel will strand me somewhere.
My sister gave me her piece of sh*t '80 buick regal when I was in HS. That thing left me in so many places that I finally just bought a car, an '82 corolla-tercel. My sister was mad that I would rebuff a "gift" like that, but oh well.
Another thing to look at is the time you are wasting. The time spend in the shop and diy, the inconvience of having someone give you rides to and from, etc. The steering rack went out on my Nissan Stanza at 170k, also a 1k repair, and I junked it and bought a nice bike and started riding it everywhere. I went almost 4 years without a car before I got my saab.
So would a newer car be worth it to you?
