Question about buying an old car
Hi there. I would be very interested in anyone's opinion on this
matter. I am looking to buy my first car (always lived in philly, used public trans for years before this). I really would like my first car to be a mid-60s era cadillac. My friends think this is a phenomenally bad idea. Folks point to a lack of 'crumple zones' or airbags in older cars, that I would constantly have to replace parts (which would be some serious long green), and even then, where would I get parts, that I couldn't rely on it to get me to work, and that it is just plain dangerous, blah blah blah. In your expert opinions, how seriously should I regard these naysayers, and how much of what they are saying is mambojahambo? Despite all of this, I still find myself pretty dead-set on the idea - what advice could you give someone in my position who knows very little about cars, and who is looking to buy an older vehicle? Thanks! WiA |
