    I need your opinions

    God knows why I want to know what half you losers think (most of you aren't even old enough to drive)
    But I am looking for a lot of opinions on this.


    Would you buy a new car, or fix your old one? Bear in mind buying a new one means 4 years of payments- that really helps restrict the amount of flexibility you have in life.

    My car needs a fair bit of works and in changing my spark plugs today I noticed a LOT of oil. So rebuild time is near.

    Buy a new one (debt happens to everyone.. just deal with it)

    Fix the old one (cheaper)

    5
    Buy a new-used vehicle (something newer but saves you some $$$)

              Current car is a 1989 Honda CRX si. It's a good little car. Sadly it is yellow though. LOL.

                          I've had 4 used vehicles now. With the exception of the Honda I have they have been bad experiences. So I am a LITTLE leary on the new-used car thing. Maybe a few years is okay.

                              Sure... I'll just go to the sperm bank daily for a year. While donating sperm I will also subject myself to human testing labs. I will also sell one of my kidneys.

                              Once I have the downpayment for the car I'll figure out how to pay for the rest later.

                                  Thats what I mean., a 'newer' used one. I have a honda too, used, and man it runs great. IF you Honda lasted this long,, maybe look into getting another newer one. There great cars.

                                      I would have to find out when they started making them in North America though. I don't trust NA engineering. I would feel more comfortable in something that was made IN Japan and then shipped here.

                                          OMFG... when I was 16 I was in a car accident with my boyfriend who was driving. I broke my neck in that accident. The car was a YELLOW Honda CRX and I'm pretty sure is was a 1989!

                                          I hate those cars.

                                              Tootie: There was another yellow 89 CRX I looked at before I bought this one in the same area. 20km apart in town.

                                              The other one was bought by some dumbshit kid- who piled 5 people in his car. Got in a crash and everyone died.
                                              I don't drive like a moron so I am not too worried about it- but yes these cars are mini death traps.

                                                  Just an fyi:

                                                  All the Honda Civics are made in Marysville, OH. They are not produced overseas at all. All Civics and 75% of the Accord line have been made in Marysville, Ohio since 1984


                                                  As for my opinion.. Go buy a 95 Civic for 5k and drive it till the doors fall off. You can get atleast 300,000 miles out of a Civic motor if you just follow a good maintance routine.

                                                                                      Sure you will have a new car but you would probably be better off buying a 2-3 year old car and save yourself the high premium and depreciation factor. Doing it this way will insure the car retains some value as opposed to the quick dropoff.

                                                                                      Up here I am seeing some 2000-2001 honda civics with about 50-60k Kms on them going for around 10k.
                                                                                      In my opinion its the best car for the price, reliability and resale value hands down.
                                                                                      Parts are cheap and they will drive forever.

                                                                                      They dont have much torque, but hey its a honda.

                                                                                                      When I bought my Jeep... I was going for a New 03 wrangler... then saw a 02 wrangler that had more features, and was a higher end wrangler... with only 10k miles... saved a ton of money... still had the remainder of the factory warranty and got a great vehicle.

                                                                                                              Having said that, go get an estimate for what it would cost to make it okay and then look up the book value.

                                                                                                              If the cost to fix it is higher than it's worth, buy another car.

                                                                                                              Personally, I prefer new cars, so I can break them in myself; but, I wouldn't be opposed to one that's only a year old....with low mileage.

That's what I did when we bought our van, saved us $23k.

                                                                                                                                  That all started because I never found another car (including later Jags) that I liked so much and anyway buying new cars is just foolish. But in later years it also became a really cheap way to own a good car. The annual license fee for older cars was dropped in the UK. I got a big break on insurance by having an older car, belonging to a supporters club and having fixed-mileage insurance. And these models became collectible, so it wasn't hard to make a profit when selling them.

                                                                                                                                  I'm guessing there are cars in the US that fit a similar scenario and let's face it, older cars have a lot more personality or whatever you want to call it, than the clones everyone rolls out these days.
