As for me, I prefer getting a new car, simply because it eases my mind. I don't have to dig into the car's past to see how many accidents it has had, or why something doesn't sound or feel right a few months after I drive the used car.
He wants to go back to a manual car. He finds it far more interesting to drive. I do not know how to drive a manual car. I have asked my guy to teach me. He is will to, as long as it isn't his car.
My guy and I had this discussion:
"I missed out on an excellent manual v6 car," my guy explained. "I was so sad."My guy refuses to let me drive his next car if it is a manual. I understand. He doesn't want anything to happen to the transmission if I cause it to stall. He would rather teach me how to drive a manual if the car is a rental.
"No need to be sad," I responded. "You'll find a car that you'll call your own. Sure, I will need to wait a bit longer before I drive it, but you'll find one. You always do."
My teasing remark didn't go too well.
"Sure, I'll let you drive my manual car. Once I am done teaching you how to drive it, I will put you over my knee and spank you for driving my car that you know you are not allowed to drive."It was the best answer this girl wanted to hear for a while.
"If I take it out on my own to drive, would you spank me?"
"For sure. You won't be able to sit for days."
Hey CB...I just had to break down and buy an new car after having my last one for 16 years. :( I'm with you...would rather have a new car...it give me more peace of mind and security. I'm also not buying someone else's headaches..

Oh, wow. Congrats on your new car. What did you get?
DeleteI had my Grand Am for over ten years before it fell apart. I love my Prius.
Decided to go with an SUV (a small one) this time...it's a Toyota RAV4. The car that laid down on me was a '99 Monte Carlo that I purchased new...she and I took very good care of each other before she had her nervous breakdown...so this is a learning curve. ;)

Congrats! I love the RAV4. It's sporty, fun, and practical. It's nice that we both drive Toyota vehicles!
DeleteMy Grand Am was also a 1999. I purchased it new, too!
