New or Old Vehicle  |
|
Would you opt for a new, older or a collector’s vehicle? If you had a choice, what would you choose and why? What type of vehicle do you own, if any? Personally, I always opt for an older car. I never intended on having a collector’s car but as it turns out I do. I treat it like any other car though. Yes, I try to keep it in good shape but for the most part, I am not out there washing and waxing it each and every week.
I like the old carbureted motors because then I don’t have a computer to deal with when I need to work on the car. Yes, I do my own mechanical repairs when I can.
I love the idea of the new hybrids. I think there is going to come a time, in the near future that I won’t have a vehicle any more. Not because I will be too old that the Motor Vehicle branch will take my license, lol but because I am concerned about my global foot print. I would rather walk or take optional means of transportation.
If I say won a new car or even an electric car, I would probably list it and sell it right away. I am not into having a new car. An electric car would be kind of neat to have for transportation but I think that I am just getting tired of cars period.
Please share your views. Do you drive an old, new or collector’s vehicle? Why do you choose to drive what you do?

| 1. Jillianmc (78) | 8 months ago | I would always go for a collectors car if i had the chance. Im in love with old classic nostalgic cars but they're not as sensible as the world has to be today. i drive a ford escape but i would love to own a garage car like 69 camaro to just keep pretty=)

EvrWonder (1155) | 8 months ago | Oh I hear ya. How I wish I had a garage. I love going to the show n shines. Big Time Eye Candy feast. One thing about the old classics, they seem to only come out at show time so isn't as harmful to the environment if they were being driven all the time. Thank you for your comment. I like the older cars, doesn't have to be a collector. Just something easy to work on, when need be.

EvrWonder (1155) | 8 months ago | Thank you for your response. I understand what you mean by reliable. Very important. You two certainly have some old classics. Beautiful. The thing about that old metal too is that it is so much nicer to work on than the newer stuff. Great restoration projects that you have there. I would love your old truck too! The red one is kinda nice also. Oh good, so you can totally relate to why I prefer the cars without the computer. No Thanks. In some ways it can make troubleshooting a whole lot easier because it lights up where the problem is but still.. I like the older stuff. If your old ones run on gasoline, you can always switch it over to propane that runs cleaner they say and better mileage. have fun working on your toys. Sounds like a project I would be up for too.

EvrWonder (1155) | 8 months ago | I can totally relate to why you would want a newer car. take advantage of the warranty for sure! Honda's are great cars. I have an 84 CRX first edition. It is in pretty good shape too with a tonne of work done on it, accumulating all the years gone by. I love it. It is one of the smallest CRX's made. Reliable cars those Honda's. I love the mustangs. I am not so hip on Fords as I come from a Chev family (yeah and own a honda) but i have always loved the Mustangs. Very hot looking and often sounding too. I am fond of a few years in that model. Thank you for your response. Enjoy! I know I would. i don't really like getting all dirty.

derlilaStern (1294) | 8 months ago | My family is a Chevy family also. That is what I drive currently. I hardly looked at anything else! (And the ones that that I did look at were still GM!) Once I got past 'the Mustang is a Ford', I really loved it. It was a fun car.

4. CatsandDogs (5171) | 8 months ago | Hubby and I have bought a new truck once and only once. Never again because we found out how much value is lost once the papers is signed. It's nice to have a new car/truck because of the newness of it and the smell is awesome but it doesn't last long. We did trade in my 02 tracker for an 05 santa fe because mileage was getting up there and the safety level wasn't all that high for the tracker. The gas mileage is worse which we don't like but safety is more important. We'd like to get a hybrid some day, when the prices come down quite a bit. As it is now, it's not worth it unless we were to keep it a long long time.

EvrWonder (1155) | 8 months ago | Safety is a huge factor. Good point. It is something that I often concern myself with since I own and drive an older car. I can understand your decision. I think i would opt for saftey before gas mileage too.

5. killersss (561) | 4 months ago | i would opt for an new vehicle, untouched lol:) i have never bought a used vehicle, i think buying a used vehicle is a big risk, it may be stolen, it may have some problem in it that the seller will never tell you. so i think you should always buy a brand new vehicle always.

EvrWonder (1155) | 3 months ago | Hi kill, Great points. Thank you for your response. I have bought a used car before that had some negative history. Ran good just had some bad history.. So I completely understand what you mean. Next time it shall be "untouched";)

6. Binthu (3440) | 3 months ago | Hi Wonder,
YES you are right, I do have the new car and also liked to have the new car, because of the so many reasons. First reasons will be no need for the maintenance charge and it was free for the period of 2 to 3 years, and also there is no need of anything extra care about the car, because everything is new and it will works for longer time. So when I have the chance to have the new electric car I should be very happy because of the less expenses and also we have the chance to save the money because of the petrol. Anyway most of the peoples also looks to have the older car and it will be good for them, unless you have good knowledge about the car prior to correct or repair the car if anything happen in the future.
Have a nice day.
