Yes, we just replaced our eleven year old car with a three year old. The same make and model and our fuel bill dropped by 25%. This is nearly half the cost of the car over the period we will own it.

It’s easier to fix 15+ Year old cars yourself.

How many people fix cars themselves?

Agreed. I once owned a 30 year old two stroke moped. It was very easy to fix. In fact I fixed it almost every week.

It's easier to not have to fix new cars.

It's also much easier to die in 15+ years old car.

>Modern cars are far more efficient, performant and easier to drive than a 15 year one

Can you clarify what being "easier to drive" means?
