I was hoping to buy a new car this year but frankly, there's nothing wrong with my 2012 Nissan Altima right now. I'm going to wait and hope that this craziness subsides soon.
Yaris 2007. The only things we needed to change on it in 5 years were filters, tyres, brake pads (previous owner braked a lot), a corroded brake line (previous owner kept it outside), and a stolen windshield wiper (including arm), for which we used one from a defunct Citroen C3 (had to use a saw to make it fit).
The aluminum engine is great for fuel efficiency, and the chain transmission instead of belt is convenient.
I agree - it's definitely not the right time to be getting a new car if you can help it. I said to myself I'd drive this car for at least 10 years...what's another year or two to let prices come back to earth.
Yep, hanging in with our 2014 Ford CMAX PHEV and 2007 Volvo XC70 for now. I'd love to have a new car, but it just doesn't make sense given current pricing and the fact that we don't actually drive that much.
Instead of paying a huge premium on a new car, I bought a zippy electric scooter. Lots of fun, and faster than driving when traffic is heavy.
Not even sure what I’d replace it with, but there’s nothing I’m looking at that comes close to justifying it’s cost versus just keeping this running.
