Well said. Stuff will happen to an older car. But the good thing is you don't have a 600/mo car payments going out. I put less in maintenance and repairs into our 5 BMW's than I would spend on one car payment for a new one. So keep up with the maintenance to minimize self inflicted injuries and fix things as they come up.  |
This is definitely one of the reasons that I own the BMWs that I do because at the end of the day their maintenance still works out less than the aggregation of a monthly car payments. In addition to this the drive is so much more rewarding. My work/company vehicles are Ford's and whenever I come out of the company vehicle and go back into my BMWs I appreciate them even more. No matter how new and expressive my company cars are they just don't deliver the drive experience of my BMWs, yet the company cars range in price from $45k to $76k.
