Keeping Old Cars Running
Popular logic in American automotive culture is that one shouldn't put x amount of dollars into an old vehicle if it exceeds the book value of the car. Yet most don't take into consideration that just sales tax on a newer used or brand new car will will be hundreds of dollars or more. Then figure in depreciation and interest if you finance and suddenly putting even a thousand dollars a year into an old model makes a lot more sense.
With depreciation and interest there is no wiggle room. If you're somewhat mechanically inclined and own a few basic tools you can fix your own car for a fraction of what a mechanic would charge.
