Should I buy newer and repair or older and repair?
I am thinking of buying a Chevy Astro, GMC or Chrysler or something
like it (don't care which minivan acutally, but I know I cannot afford the foreign ones). My question is if you think I should buy an older one with a V6 and fix it when it breaks or buy a newer one with a 4 Cyl. or maybe V6 and fix it when it eventually breaks. I figured since they are both gonna break why not get the older one and fix it. At least I would not have already spent my repair money on the car. I know a guy who paid $1500 for a Chevy Astro with 129,000 miles on it. He said it only leaks oil a little when it sits and a little "puff of white smoke" when he starts it up. I don't know how bad that is. I thought this might be the kind of vehicle that as long as you liked the inside of it you can fix it forever....thoughts please. Thank you for any insight. |
