Hey guys,
My familys got a history of keeping really old cars from an 80 Honda Accord that lasted us 17years to a Merc 420SEL that was with us for over 15 years.
we've got a 92 Nissan Sunny now and an 01 9-5 and i couldnt help but wonder if the Saabs going to give me 20 yrs of good, reliable performance. Any thoughts on this? I know Ian's Saab is one of the most heavily used ones and hes very happy with it.
Do you guys feel that the latest driving tech improvements justify getting a newer car sooner? Honestly the main reason why we're looking at scrapping the Nissan is that complete lack of any safety features (ABS, airbags) on the car.
Thanks
Shaun
