Ok so i had a car lol & sold it,one cos i hated it & secondly the person who bought it from me offered me too much to refuse. I have looked for another but the cars were eithr way over my price range,milage too high or i had to dip into the money for other things.I was starting to think that i would not be getting one till after christmas..

That is until my ex came up to see my daughter & mentioned that his dad was giving him his audi..yes giving him it!!!..nice car & only a few years old.
I asked him what he was doing with his car.He said his GF will be putting it on the council website for £300.Now this car is a N Reg which makes it about 12 + years old....
The only people who have owned it were my ex hubbys mum,his GF & now him.It only has 61,000 odd miles on the clock which for a car that age is pretty dam cool.The car itself is in good condition & of course insurance will be cheap,plus its the right size for me,nippy & loud lol.Its a wee peugeot 106 ..kinda bright green in color. Andy said its just went through its MOT & has 8 months road tax...sound huh..That will be do me jist braw like..what ya hink....toot toot lol
He said he will take £250 fur it..that leaves me plenty money left over & i can get a full years insurance paid too!! thumbup

So again would you drive around in an older car or do you prefer newer ones?

happy

I would totally drive it! It sound like an ok deal! Just be prepared for the possibility of repairs being needed...and be sure of course to have it services regularly.

My husband had a Camaro from like the 70's given to him by a friend of the family, the guiys MNOTHER had owned the car..the miles were up there...but that baby wa sweet! and other than being a gas hog...(and getting us tickets for speeding!)..the car mechanically never gave us any problems!

Good Luck to you!

Funny you should ask. i drive a 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I love it! We like to camp and head out to the grasslands. It is perfect for us and all three dogs fit in it!

I don't mind if I drive a 12-yr old car. By the way, I haven't tried driving any car at all. So it would be still ok for me to drive even a 20-yr old car.

I think you should buy it.Especially since you'll get it at a good price.Of course this should be temporary as it's a pretty small car but if you're young enough it could suit you fine.Spare parts are also easily to find and you should have no problem concerning that.

Don't worry about the age as long as it's working.I used to have a 16 year old car and it did it's job.

Well over the years my family has bought and owned many old cars and to me it dosent really matter how old a car is as long as the car is in good condition and runs well, and if the price is right theres really nothing wrong with buying an older car but of course when you buy an older car theres a bit of a risk that you may have to get some things fixed down the line but as long as you can safely drive it and you get some good use out of the car its ok to buy an older car. happythumbup

I have done it several times. I would buy an old car if it has low milage and was taken good care of without a second thought. So what if it is old as long as it runs good and gets you around with out problems.

As long as it has four good tires and it starts, I'll drive it and be happy. happy

Actually, my favorite cars are 1994 Buick Park Avenues; I've had two and I'd love to have another. thumbup

from the looks of it, it's still in good shape. and you got a good deal for the price. i wouldn't mind driving a 12-yr old car. as long as it works.=) better if you have it checked with a mechanic before u drive long distance.

I once bout a phoenix Pontiac that was 6 years old and had over 100,00. I drove it for a good ten years and put over 100,000 on it going across country twice. It would state to give me trouble and I would look into what it would cost to fix it and the problem stopped. If you know the people that had the car and you know they took good care of it I'ed say go for it.
