killamch89 Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 When it comes to selecting a car, there are so many factors to consider! Is it safety ratings, fuel efficiency, cost, brand reputation, or features that matter most to you? Maybe you prioritize comfort or tech options?

The Blackangel Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 Considering that my car is an 87 Iroc, it was personal desire. Now for the sake of argument, we’ll say I didn’t have it. I was always a Chevy chick growing up. While I would prefer a Chevy every time, as I got older it didn’t matter to me. All I cared about was that had no mechanical issues and would serve the purpose that I needed it for. I didn’t care about make, model, or year. I also don’t care if it’s ugly. As long as it did what I needed it to, and was at least semi-easy in fluids. killamch89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't be bothered to own a vehicle that I'll be having to carry to the mechanic every few weeks for some other issue. Let's not even talk about the cost of owning unreliable vehicles.

The Blackangel Posted October 14 Share Posted October 14 Reliability is number one for a vehicle. Put your preferences aside, and get something that you know you can count on. If you have that, and can get the money together, then you can start thinking about getting your dream car. @Rain Dew has a really reliable car. I think the only thing that have had to be fixed is when it needs new tires or an oil change. Obviously that’s normal maintenance for every vehicle, but still. To get back to point, it’s a great car. killamch89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with my Lexus. I've had it for about 5 years and outside of the usual maintenance, I've yet to have any serious issues with it. On the other hand, I have a friend who owns a Nissan Altima and he's having all these gearbox issues and all kinds of other things and can't even get the car sold because no one wants it.

I own a 2017 Lexus IS200t that I got off a woman that was migrating for a job so I got it for way under the market price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
