Could be. Some might quietly question the sense of spending $853 in
repairs for a 17-year-old vehicle that would get just $2,400 as a trade-in.
Bottom line is that it the most reliable vehicle I've ever owned, and that
deserves some consideration. Sure, something else could go wrong, but I just
don't like the newer ones with all the computer control, electric windows,
keyless entry, etc. Just more stuff to go wrong.
Some people here say to go to the antique auto auctions. Never mind the
fancy stuff inside, just cruise around outside. Lots of decent older vehicles
out there that are in decent shape and might be in need of an overhaul. Still
cheaper than new ones and far more reliable. Some day I may go and look for
that long-wanted 1959 Chevy pickup with a V8 and a transmission with the Granny
Low.
Now that I have my long-waited 1969 French bike, the Universe may be on my
side about the pickup as well.
