Another Car Question

[RobertInOntario]

There really does come a point when you shouldn't spend any more dollars on a dying car. But I don't think the Honda has reached this yet. The main reason being is that it's given us very little trouble to date -- only normal wear & tear.

Thanks,

i think - - the rule of thumb is when the annual maintenance gets to be about 1/2 the annual "loan or lease" payments for a newer model -
it's time to trade it in...

Thanks, Mikey. That sounds like a sensible guideline.

My basic plan was to keep the Honda for at least one more year, if not two. Mileage-wise, it should easily be good for that length of time. However, there is some rust around the doors and a few spots here and there that could be a concern.

Cheers,
Rob
