Does anyone find it funny that some people will religiously change
their car after 12-36 months, while these trains will be FORTY SEVEN
years old when they finally get replaced?


I only find it funny in respect of the fact that many new cars are
barely run-in after 12 months, so why sell them then?

I generally buy cars that are no more than 12 months old, still have two
years' of warranty left, and often cost little more than half of the new
price. My last Renault Laguna continued to run for 10 more years with no
serious expenditure!

More fool the premature sellers, in my view.
