I agree.... and yes I also drive for little insurance money, cars that I
enjoy, can fix and are certainly unusual and interesting. But then would
you be happy if your car valued at $30k had cost you say $50k ? I would
call that a loss and the same result as depreciation, albeit under a
different name. The so called "crap boxes" do have a number of advantages
which is why they are being sold.
Advantages ? Well a warranty, the posibility of leasing and or financing, a
good heating and air conditioning system and good fuel economy. Plus the
dealer network " comfort factor" if it fails.
Having just written that, I haste to ad that I would not own one, but then
many of us are a rare breed LOL!
Talking about headlights I had to laugh as I can't change the headlight in
my wife's Ford Ranger pickup truck. The excuse for such a vehicle is that it
has 4 wheel drive and easy to load hay bales for the horses.
If I come across a Saab headlight fix I will exchange the info for a Ranger
fix!
