I own a 21 year old car and a 16 year old car. The 16 year old car I bought for $4400 10 years ago. I have probably put approx. $5000 into it ... say total cost is $10,000 . This translates to approx. $140 / month for maintenance and initial cost assuming it is worth nothing. The car is reliable ... where can you get a car for $140 / month ?? People think I am crazy ... old cars are no reliable and breakdown ... something auto manufacturers have brainwashed us with. You call also apply, “the cost factor” to vehicles.
