Me too...same problem...I am debating whether to trade in my 10-year old car to get a new one this year, or should I wait until it can't be driven any more. (probably it can last another 3 or 4 year ...

fibbi,

hee... my situation is a bit different la... I am thinking to jump onto a 100k car when the one I am driving is 4-yr old and it is working perfectly.  So it is pretty logical for me to not putting some stupid financial pressure on my family la.

Okie, back to your situation.  In my opinion, if you car is 10-yr old, it will last you at least another 3-4 years as you said.  I would think the 1st thing you want to do now is to do some "research" on your car.  Just simply ask any mechanic you know to see if the car are well-known on certain major problem.  (e.g. 99-00 Accord has pretty weak transmission).  I would say that 10-yr old is not that old lor.  But with the cash-back, low interest rate dealership now offering, it may be a good chance to change the car neh
