Registration fees are much lower for old cars. Plus insurance is much cheaper because you don't need comprehensive.

I love older cars. They are usually amazing bargains for what you are getting.

Buy something made before 1973 and put a Chevy LS or Cummins 4b-t in it.

Depends, has the 15 year been driven regularly or has it been sitting for 10 years. If it hasn't been driven all the seals in the engine and tranny will be dried and rotten, resulting in it pissing fluids everywhere.

Parts, parts, parts, baby. The older your car, the sooner it becomes hard to get parts for it. Also, rubber perished over time. All your hoses and seals would need to be replaced because they would start to crack.

I’d take the 15 year old car in a hot second, especially if it’s been garage kept.

Source / credentials: I was a Service Director for several high-line dealerships for a number of years.

I currently drive a 15 year old high end European coupe. Bought it three years ago with 80,000 miles on it. It’d been owned by an older Asian couple and kept in a garage and properly serviced. Car should be good to go with minor maintenance to about 200,000 miles.

If the cat has been kept outside for 15 years, all of the seals will be shot and that will lead to major degradation of the components inside things like the doors and such.

So garage kept > 15 years with few miles > 5 years with a lot of miles.

No. Absolutely not. I’m not a fan of BMW cars for two reasons: 1) The ergonomics are terrible. Things are laid out poorly and aren’t properly functional. 2) They have a ridiculously high warranty claim rate. Again, I’m an insider to the industry so I’ve seen quite a bit.

Wouldn’t own a BMW car if it were given to me. Ugh.

BMW motorcycles on the other hand...

Rust.

Where it snows, they put salt on the roads. Salt causes vehicles to rust and die.

Tell us where the vehicles were used. And for how long.

My car is 17 years old which I bought at around 56k, and the thing just will not die.

Buying a newer car in my country is tricky because so many sand niggers use big cars as taxis, fake the mileage and then offload them.

Only buy from a White who has owned it for a long time.

Don't throw money at new cars, money is to secure your future, try not to waste it on unnecessary stuff.

I think I've spent less on cars in my life than some Leftists have spent on coffee, but I own houses and they don't.
