Would you if you had money drive 15 years old?

Not everyone, no. But in your world, a vehicle from a certain age is obviously automatically grumpy, worn, rusty, flapy and unsightly – at least I understand the undermining of your question. I can assure you that this depends entirely on the quality, and it was better for vehicles from early 2000 than for current new vehicles. In addition, of course, the condition and maintenance are also relevant as the box stands.

I’d also drive a 30-year-old car. For me, the classic vehicles are still the non plus ultra.

One of my treasures will be made next year 30 and then Oldi. He had TÜV until the end of 2015 and has been standing since. If only located on the place where the garages are:)

Hold on, get the part to run. My stand half a year in winter, the result was an added ABS block and any problem in tempomat. The air-conditioning compressor has also been making noises since the funny one. Before, everything went perfectly. An old car is also broken during the service period. Or just old cars take that bad for you, new ones get it more.

I know. Mine is also from the USA. Fortunately, however, there was an almost identical model in Germany. Only a few parts like then even Tempomat, air conditioning, airbag, ABS,… The parts then to order are always n cramp.

Yeah, no problem if the vehicle is in good condition.

If the car is reliable and it causes few repair costs, I don’t need to buy a new one. I could afford a new one, just for what if the old one is still driving.

What’s bad about a 15-year-old car? Mine is almost 20 years old and runs like a Swiss movement.

Yeah, sure. I even do it or my car is almost ten years older again, namely now 23 years.

I don’t deserve badly and still drive a 1997 Mercedes C180 Classic, the residual value is about 1000 euros. If I was raised several times in the recent past and I was told that if you were to earn on my level, a fat car, any Audi or BMW or Mercedes, would be the first thing you would buy.

But I have other focuses and like my car and don’t see it falling to others or prove to everyone that I somehow “have”. Besides, I just like the car, and I appreciate its reliability as well as that I can handle myself when what is.

I honestly wouldn’t even have a problem with driving a really cheap car like a golf 3, an old Fiestakiste or some staged Toyota Corolla – I don’t define myself over cars and don’t care what others mean. It was different when I wanted to show something with the Mercedes and came from Ford and Opel – but when I bought it, it was still a very high-priced consumer and not so easy to find a fair C180 W202 offer. kept him because he is sturdy and somehow became my buddy; with the years many memories hang on.

The fact that I’m still gradually leaning after something new is that I have provided the Mercedes for the H-mark and actually want to avoid being very good condition without rust problems due to everyday use due to good care. This winter was the last one I drove W202. I will soon buy a Ford Mondeo as a young used person, because price/performance is right here, or looking for the right Mondeo and the C180 will be a nice weather car for the hobby.

Come on!

I drive a Subaru Impreza WRX STI of 99 with currently 400ps, so a car can be afforded even if you earn a little and ready to spend some money!

I love oldtimer. therefore I would also drive cars that are 40 years old.

Otherwise I got myself golf last night (season car) – the is 16 years old. my 3 golf is now 27 years old. I still like to go back and forth 🙂

as long as the cars are still in good shape, nix says…

I have a pretty wealthy friend. He has several cars. One of them is over 60 years old. And among us, if he were not so wealthy, he could not afford it at all.

I got money. My car would most probably call a junk pile, but I don’t care what I’m doing on my 20-year-old Ford Focus.

If I hadn’t been anywhere with the money, I’d be a two old cars as summer cars…

My youngest is 9 and my eldest 20. I take the old man for work, so the dog can also be on the back bank and and… so say my forest and meadowhure (if you can say this :p)

So yes: I also drive a car older than 15 years…

If I have money, I’ll buy a newer car…. Otherwise, my goodness… no matter if 15, 20 or 25 years old. The state decides.

See some different. They’re buying because they have money, not a new car, because more effectively you can’t burn your money.

With me it was that I burned more money at used people than with my new car, especially since I don’t sell my new car after 3 or 5 years, so in the time you lose most.

Yes, of course, the loss of value in the first years is enormous. I wrote more recent and not new 🙂 I’m currently driving a 20-year-old Mazda 323… It hardly needs more than newer models of gasoline….is a bit more expensive in insurance…but has no more value loss…

I’ll take it to the point. Whoever wants to be up to date buys new or newer cars. If money doesn’t matter, it is. Or business people lease. But who does not have the necessary money and does not get funding can only buy what he can afford…. so the follow-up costs can be enormous. But if you know yourself and a capable mechanic who is on the side of you when you visit a used one, you can also be lucky… of course the mechanic can also lie next to it.
Example… I once bought a Clio 2 for 150 Euro. Repair material costs 60 Euro + new TÜV 100 … then made 310 €uro for a 15 year old car with fresh Tüv….. drove the 2 years. Without problems outside service oil change I do myself.
Has previously had a Ford Focus … 12 years old with defective coupling for 450 €…..ca 250 for new coupling and then 100 for TÜV….. after 1500 Km engine damage:(So can run this way or so 🙂

If I had the money, I would buy significantly older vehicles.

I love driving older cars. Even much better than these today’s, over skilled vehicles. I don’t really need all this electronics bullshit.

If it was a 15-year-old Bentley with 20,000 km, it would probably be there.

It can be assumed that a 15-year-old average vehicle is meant.

At the beginning of 2000 there were so many very good vehicles that you certainly don’t have to quote a Bentley.
