Two weeks to go
Add comment January 17th, 2007
Today is Thursday, and two Thursdays from now - at this very time - I’ll be in Sydney looking for a car to buy. I did another check this morning for Ford Fairmonts, and it looks like I’ll be able to afford a 2000 model instead of just a ‘96-’98 model. The question I have to ask myself is, do I get the model that I wanted 10 years ago, or do I get the model that’s newer and better? I think I’ll be getting the newer model, ’cause it makes sense to do so. It’ll last longer without needing as much maintenance, so ongoing costs are likely to be cheaper. It handles fuel efficiency slightly better than the older one, so it’ll be cheaper in fuel costs. So I think we’ll be getting the newer one.
