Do you dispose your ride because of age or mileage?

**XTO** · October 17th, 2007 12:56 PM

What other reasons why you decide to do so?

Age: How old is ideal? How many years before availability parts (doors, fenders, etc.) become scarce?

Mileage: How many kms / miles?

relative siguro yan depende kung paano ka magalaga ng cars mo....

but reason ko brand kung meron na akong enough money to replace my old car with a new one.....

ngayon I''m thinking 5 yrs of service ibebenta ko na then buy a brand new car again....by that time (5 yrs) meron ng bagong model ng ssakyanko, so upgrade nanaman...

kung di ko na kaya ang maintenance, need money, nagsawa/marami nang meron (kaya di patok sa akin ang common, overrated rides like those AUVs, compacts...)

Kami 3-6 years depending on use. Kung malakas kumamada ng kms, 3-4 years lang benta na. Kung hindi naman masyado at kung very reliable pa yung sasakyan kahit 6 years umaabot at maganda pa din pag benta. Kung may dipresnya kasi na malaki, body man, makina, o tranny, dinidiskwento na lang namin sa presyo ng bibili.

5 yrs trade into new one w/ the exemption of my 88 Celica GTS. I love that car.

as a much possible keep them for good kaso mo sayang naman kung mabubulok lang.just like anybody here, due to old age.mas maganda na yong updated, less maintenance.

pero etong CRV ko, talagang hindi ko magawa ma-dispose. ewan ko ba. kahit na 8 taon na sya, i love this car

depende siguro kung saan galing ang kotse. sa katulad kong pinag hihirapan yung monthly payments ko sa tingin ko after 3 years i enjoy ko muna yung kotse unless gusto ko ulit ng another sakit ng ulong bayarin.

yup. 5 years/100k miles (whichever comes first) and cut-off ko. that's usually the time the warranty of the car expires. i drive a lot (most of it at night), and i don't want to be stranded, so i need something reliable and dependable. nothing against older cars, but logic tells me that they are more prone to breakdowns, and i just don't want to take a chance.
