Hi
was wondering what’s reason why most people change car over at the warning signs instead of keeping them going and getting every last bit out and driving them till the engine or transmission gives up, a couple years ago With the ef everything was going on it engine was pretty good so was gearbox but everything else was going around it, one week it was something and next month it was something different sort of thing and it was never ending, then sorted that batch out and had wheel bearings go at front and the people that fixed wheel bearing found suspension parts needed replacing and said it might be time for another car so had a think about wether really wanted to keep going or if it might be time to give up, so decided to keep going and do a bit more. Then engine gave up and got a ba ghia for a daily and going to get a ed for weekend car and do it up and put a v8 in hopefully can think of following reasons why most change cars earlier and not keep them going till the engine gives up. 1. Even though a loans more expensive than continual repairs it’s easier for some to manage. 2. Don’t want to deal with continual repairs. 3. Want to be able to go somewhere that they can’t with the old car due to constantly needing stuff or not wonder if the next thing will go while away. 4. Inconveniently needing more repairs & don’t have time to deal with them. 5. Reason 3 and also some too busy to deal with constant repairs. 6. Cost money that could be used for something else. 7 any other reasons? 8. Lifestyle changes and just like to treat themselves which is ok long as you got money or can pay a loan 9. don’t want to be in a hurry to buy a car and end up with wrong one heres some youtube videos do you’s can watch thanks |
