I was used to buying outdated cars and driving them until the cost of repair far exceeded the value of the vehicle altogether.
This worked great for myself and others when I had a nextdoor acquaintance who was willing to do my mechanical work for a bargain compared to auto mechanic shops.
But when he moved to a neighboring city to open a body repair shop, I was left without my on-demand, discount vehicle mechanic. At this point I did some math and realized it would cost the same amount of cash to simply get a vehicle loan on something new, at least I’d assume that the vehicle was in prime shape. I assume some people who have cars for years before needing any work done, especially if they take care of them. Not only that, however assume about it enjoy this. Let’s say you buy a brand new vehicle with a several-year loan on it. After those multiple years, you now have a vehicle with under 100,000 miles on it that has only a single single owner—you. You could always turn it in to the dealership and get another new vehicle with another vehicle payment. If you don’t, you’ll have a vehicle in much better shape than if you had started at year-zero with a vehicle that already had more than 100,000 miles on it. You won’t always assume the vehicle history either, leaving so many questions regarding unseen problems that could apapple at a moment’s notice. It’s also nice having a newer vehicle with its amenities enjoy the lodge air filter. This is the first time I have ever bought a vehicle that really came with a filter for the and oil furnace. I didn’t assume until the mechanic told myself and others while I was in a routine oil change.
