My little blue car is about 12 and is really starting to show wear and tear. Sitting in the Texas sun is a nightmare of cars.
Since we are retired purchasing a new car is out of the question (more because I hate the newest garbage in them). I simply cannot bring myself to purchase ANYTHING that now costs more than what I paid for my house!
Purchasing an older car for most folks is really the best way to go, provided they actually look at the vehicle with a good eye and listen to it with a sound ear.
Every now and then I check out the cost of cigarettes (former smoker, here) and am SO glad I quit decades ago!

Yes me too. Working offshore in my 20s cured that. I was so busy I would forget to light up and before you know it I wasn’t smoking.
