yes.keep the GOOD car you already have.and if you have the extra money. treat yourself to a holiday. or better stillpay off any debts you have. if any.!dont worry about small dents. or colour. just buy some new sunglasses and get a cd player ftted by one of your friends. just remember . cars are for getting you from A 2 B.and back again. they should NOT be a status symbol.!

Thanks for all the positve and very sensible suggestions.
so. I have cleaned the beast inside and out today, bought some new wheel trims, blacked the tyres, put a new steering wheel cover on and bought a new CD/radio to be installed sometime this week.
I think we will be very happy together for quite a few more ks and I will invest the money in the kitchen or bathroom renovations instead!
Oh, and maybe have a wee holiday later when its cold lol

Growing old is compulsory. Growing up is not.

Unnecessary until you need them in which case they may well save your life.

Not just talking about airbags and electronic nannies either - the crash structure of a 2000s car like a Jazz is lightyears ahead of a 90s car like a Mirage (which was itself below average for its time)

How many times in their lifetime do people need them! For the vast majority of people, never.

IMO their value is far outweighed by their cost. If you're really that worried, the prudent choice is to simply take the bus.

Iagree,however if I wasdoing 50,000+ kms a year highway driving airbags ABS etc would definitely be a must.

Yes, in that scenario I would also consider them more valuable.
