There are pros and cons in owning an old cars. The pros are, I do not have to pay for installment every month and the road tax and insurance are cheap too. If there is a dent or scratches on my cars, my heart don’t feel the pain. No heartache also driving when on an old, muddy kampung roads.
The cons; from time to time, it has to enter the workshop for maintenance repair like changing the water pump, flushing the radiator, changing radiator, air-cond leakage etc. One time repair, it will at least cost about 300 bucks but then it is way better than forking out 300 bucks and more every month paying for a new car.
Thank God I am an owner to a Toyota Corolla in which its spare parts are easily obtainable.
Another con is my old cars can’t bring us far from our hometown. The furthers they can go is to PD. Due to that we have been to PD for holiday a few times and will be going there again during the school holidays.
Ya…just to enjoy the beach, the swimming pool, the hotel room and to spend time as a family.
Oh ya! Nowadays it is so easy to get repair cost estimation online especially if you live in US. For instance Chicago auto repair which can be accessed from Repairpal.com.
