Car Quiver

Wow, I can't afford newer cars like you guys.

95 Honda Accord DL 185k
00 Dodge Caravan 285k
01 Saturn L200 150k
07 Dodge Caravan 168k

I have never paid more than $4K for a car, the most expensive of my current cars was the 07 at $2.2k. Buy them used, do the minor repairs yourself, and save a lot. I always have my local trusted mechanic check out the cars before I buy. If the buyer says no to that, I walk every time.

You are my hero. I don't like to spend money on motor vehicles, strictly a means to an end.
Own 2014 Subaru Outback 2.5, and 2007 Chrysler Town and Country minivan.

I have one car it Nissan Maxima 2007?

Best car I ever owned was a 1997 Maxima. Bought it in 1999 with 50k miles, drove it until 2014. Even then engine was fine, but needed a bunch of other stuff worked on. Maxima is a wolf in sheep's clothing.

How do you keep a car alive for 30 years? I assumed long before then the whole thing would rust out.

Well I'm not the first owner on any of these. And that's why southern, or southwestern, cars are sought after in the "classics" world.

Having said that, the Pathfinder is shot through after years of NE winters and beach driving. But keeps on truckin'.

With today's cars, galvanized frames, etc.... if you were diligent about cleaning, undercoating, rust proofing I bet you could get 30 years even with our winters. Maybe.
