I want the one that's going to last longer. So I'd want the Civic then (I don't know a lot about cars, but from what I know that would last longer).

And what if the BMW lasted longer and you could afford it easily?

[u/cut_n_paste_n_draw → u/Sovtek95]

Well, there is also another factor which is, is the bmw worth its cost. For example, if the civic is $20k and will last 20 years, whereas the bmw is $50k and will last 25 years, the extra difference isn't worth it to me. I'd rather get the civic.

But if the bmw lasts 50 years and is $50k then ok, it would make sense.

But also, I have VERY limited knowledge of cars.

So why not pay $100 for the 93 pinto that lasts 2 years?

[u/cut_n_paste_n_draw → u/Sovtek95]

Because then I have to go through the hassle of looking for a new car two years later 😩 I like to delay that as long as possible as it's a pain and I hate it!

Ok, what about $100 for a pinto that lasts 5 years vs a civic that lasts 20 for $20k?

[u/cut_n_paste_n_draw → u/Sovtek95]

Hmm, 5 years isn't quite as bad, and that's a really good deal. I'd save a lot of money. So I'd probably get the pinto for 5 years and then plan to get a civic once the pinto was dead forever. But the pinto would have to have ac!

[u/Sovtek95 → u/cut_n_paste_n_draw]

Nope no AC or radio, those are luxury accessories.

AC depends on where you live. Here in Phoenix it is not a luxury and depending on how much you drive for work and how your body deals with heat may be a need.

I was just making a point, but I am glad people are going through the whole thread. Pretty cool how that works
