More Car (Auto) Advice

[RobertInOntario]

Both cars have a low financial value but both cars are still very useful. If you feel comfortable with old cars with lots of scratches it is best to keep both. There is no more economic car than an old but reliable functioning car!
The be prepared for the possible break down of one of them I would
- set the money aside to buy a replacement of the more expensive one
- makeup your mind of 2-3 possible replacements (brand, model etc.) for both of them
- makeup your mind for 2-3 possible dealers to buy a possible replacement
That list might be readjusted twice a year

Thanks, Reinhard! I certainly agree that it's very useful & advantageous to have old but reliable cars, especially in a big city where they get dinged up a lot. If I had a new, shiny car, I'd be stressed out all the time that it was going to get damaged or scratched.
