Compare equivalent distance covered, etc... and new trumps old every time. For instance, just put front disc pads into my car for the first time since buying it new - cost $80. I replaced 4 tyres at 60,000 km, total cost fitted and balanced $750. I've done 50,000 kilometres on the new tyres and they are only half worn at 115,000 kilometres. Apart from twice annual fixed price servicing, that's been my total payouts. Of course you can then factor in depreciation, reg and insurance but, overall, it sure beats what J Kuthe has been outlaying on his. Should I mention that I have no hesitation in doing a trip of 3,000 kilometres without batting an eyelid. Doesn't sound like J Kuthe could comfortably do that. Anyway, the Caravan wasn't reliable from new! ;-) -- Xeno |

They do here too, but our cars are Japanese imports and I don't know if they do need to salt roads, but there has never been a spot of rush on either. -- http://www.helpforheroes.org.uk/shop/ |

If you have salt on your roads, you really need to be a bit anal about cleaning. Not sufficient to wash the outside. You need to get into all the nooks and crannies - under the guards and other enclosed areas. You need to keep door and sill drains clear. Anything less than that is, in my view, neglect. Newer vehicles are so much better in the corrosion protection these days that it's simply not worthwhile to start with a neglected 10 year old vehicle and try to undo the damage already wrought. We are fortunate here that there is no need for salt to be used on the roads to keep the ice at bay. Still, there remains a need to be on the alert for creeping rust as we live near the sea. I had a look at a used car recently for use as a runabout here. It was located in an area far from the sea. Oddly enough I noticed an unhealthy amount of surface rust in crevices in the engine bay. Turned out the car had only resided in its current location for a couple of years. The first years of its life were spent at a beachfront suburb and it showed. It's not the rust you can see that's the worry, it's the rust that's hidden that you need to be concerned about. No point spending a small sum buying an old used car only to have the spend huge sums of money to bring it back to scratch. -- Xeno |

Body design also helps where cavities in which mud can collect are reduced, masked or eliminated. I look at my Corolla, for example, and see the small innovations in this area that prevent rust. Simple ideas that make you wonder why cars of the 50, 60s and 70s didn't employ them. -- Xeno |

Both times it turned out I was merely buying someone else's headache. It's not as if a 1994 Dodge Caravan is a collectors item. The insurance company paid him what the car was worth based on (yes!) the Blue Book value for overall condition and age. Jill |

If the other guy didn't have insurance does he believe his own insurance company would have given him more? Doubtful. They all use the same Blue Book. Jill |

Mine comes out of Savannah, MeTV on MYLC. You do have to have a way to get the signal. Rabbit ears just don't cut it anymore. At one time my parents had a console TV/electronic setup like that. BTW, Steve, those television characters are frozen in time. Barbara Feldon got stuck in 1970. I guess she still looked pretty good then.Jill |

Actually, no...I don't get that channel. I was actually remembering the show from the 1960's when I was a kid and watching it often. Back then, young teenage me lusted over Agent99, (I dream of)Genie, Samantha Stevens, and Goldie Hawn (from Laugh-In show). lol! |

If he thinks his vehicle is worth more than blue book, he can try selling it himself. That's where skill at the art of the deal (negotiation) comes in handy. -- sf |

I'm kinda doubting that. LOL! No Steve, I do need some decent tv. I've had cable since they first came to my area..it was in 1979-1981...somewhere like that. I was first to sign up for it. |

Television in those days didn't play a big part in our lives. As kids we played outside with friends. After dinner, we played outside until the street lights went off. Parents called their kids to come inside. After dinner, Dad watched Walter Cronkite and the Huntley/Brinkley Report. Heh. My brothers and I didn't sit around watching television. I am enjoying seeing this old television stuff. I absolutely adore old western TV shows. Go figure. JUill Jill |

It's quite a change in attitude that has taken place. That's rather silly because typically it refers to a person that is acting stupidly and not someone with a low IQ or learning impaired. A person feeling smug or superior to those less fortunate than themselves and uses the word "retarded" to denigrate those folks would pretty much be a dickhead. My recommendation is that people not be a dickhead. |

In this case, for me .. a vicious and spiteful person, constantly going out to hurt someone. Too fixated to understand their sickness. -- http://www.helpforheroes.org.uk/shop/ |

To clarify, in my parlance a mean, spiteful and retarded personality. Yes, car engines can be retarded as well as many other things.
