Fond of changing Cars

Why are there people who are fond of changing their cars from one model to another? Is it just a habbit? Can u call them car lover? or simply they have the privilege to change their cars to have the satisfaction of having a ride on a car they dream to drive...

Cars are consumer goods and they have planned obsolesence built into them. That's why the product cycle of a vehicle is typically 4 years (the L300 Versa Van's almost 20 year existence in the local market is more of an exception).

Some people who buy a car already have a set time table in their mind when they will replace it. My mom's friend sells the vehicle as soon as it reaches the 5 year old mark. No, she's not an enthusiast. She sells them because she is afraid the car might start to have problems soon.

Most enthusiasts who do work on their own cars are not that easy to separate from their machines.

Some buy cars without test driving. Saka lang nila malalaman na hindi pala nila gusto...

sila ang type of person whom you like to buy your used car with...

at least di mo mashoshoulder ang biggest depreciation ng kotse, and having a almost brand-new ride...

sila yung tipong fashion item lang ang kotse at electronic items... pag di na "in" or may mas bago...benta agad...

i've got friends who pour a lot of money (tens of thousands of dollars) into their cars; spend a lot of time tuning their cars into perfection only to sell it a few months later without recouping their expenses (some sell the modifications at a discount to recoup some of the original expenses). what was their motivation? it was the satisfaction of watching their cars transform into something different from the day it left the showroom floors. sort of like watching your child grow. then once the child becomes an adult, you let him go. i was like my friends. spend, build, sell (or part out). now that i'm married and will soon have a kid, the money pit had to be covered.
