Whoa, 25 years is awesome. Have you owned it for 25 or is it 25 from the build year?
I'm still on my first car, which I've been driving for 13 years now. It still hasn't given me any real problems. Even though I don't always take care of it on time.
I like the idea of trying to fix something as well. Why go for the new option immediately if some glue and duct tape can give you another functional years. !LOL
Thanks, @rarej! It is a 1998 Nissan Sentra. We bought it when it was about 4 years old. So it's 25 from the model year and we have owned it for about 21 years. The longer you can keep a car and maintain it well the better off you'll be. One thing that really didn't exist as much when I was growing up was planned obsolescence. Making things that didn't last as long because they figured out they couldn't make as much money if stuff lasted forever.
I guess it depends on how badly something is broken though too.
Have a great day! 😀

planned obsolescence
True. This is probably a major factor why that car lasted as long. My parents also have the same refrigerator since 1999 and it still does what it needs to do. Nowadays everything is built differently.
!BEER
Yeah, because they can't make money if people don't keep replacing things every few years. Have a great weekend, @rarej!! 😀
