guys think alot of the trouble is that its only since buying a younger daily primary car thats more dependable that you can start thinking of catching up on things again after being put on hold for a while and probably still behind a bit.

whats your system of buying and selling daily driven cars if you need something as dependable as a 5-10 year old one but can only afford very cheap ones. classics or a weekend driven spare car is probably different to a primary one.

are you ok with continuing to throw parts at the daily cars and run them till engine or gearbox goes then think about what to do or change them earlier and ifso why?

usually when you add costs for both options and compare, numbers most of time say to keep going and wait till engine goes or its totally worn out then start planning a replacement, spose whatever the out come is theres another thing to think about when making decision and some cant afford anything newer so have no choice but to keep going unless theres a old model they want then theyd get best one around at time.

sometimes it can be more than cars value but still alot less than what itd cost to replace it with a lot newer one which is usually what people look at when doing the finances.
