Replace car?

[Anonymous]

I have a 2014 Honda CRV. It's working fine. Probably could get another ~5+ years out of it. Is there any reason to replace now before prices go up? We are a one car household, and I don't want to deal with too many repairs.

No. I’d keep driving it

Mileage?

I’d get a new one. Lots of safety updates in the past 11 years.

From a strictly financial perspective keeping the car makes the most sense. Repairs and maintenance, not to mention insurance, will be much less than the cost of a new car.

Some safety improvements which have become more common in recent years are worth considering, if your current car doesn't have them. Most notably, automated emergency braking. Otherwise, such improvements have been relatively minor and incremental, and are probably not worth upgrading to obtain. Features like lane change warnings, blind spot monitoring, and cross-traffic warnings may help avoid body damage but less likely to actually be life-saving.

Keep it until the motor is gone.

It is based on how much of car is built in USA.

Some cars like the Mercedes GLS, GLE, and C-Class are manufactured in Tuscaloosa, Alabama and Volkswagen Atlas is manufactured in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

The following 10 cars the majority of their parts are made in the US.

Tesla Model Y
Tesla Model 3
Tesla Model X
Tesla Model S
Honda Passport
Volkswagen ID.4
Honda Odyssey
Acura MDX
Honda Ridgeline
Acura RDX

I own a foreign car, but I also own a GMC and Cadillac. They do make American cars to you know.

We have the same kind of issue. 2013 Accord V6 Coupe with 36,000 miles on it.
Thinking of AWD car because our neighborhood streets are always untreated and snowy and icy but most are huge and sit up high.

Wondering the same thing with my suv. Lexus GX. Runs great but almost 11 years old.

They are so annoying. Mine hits the breaks for no reason and peeps every time it thinks it's getting close to some parked cars.
Keep it because you are comfortable driving the car and also, your insurance will go up at least $500 a year.
Start saving money for the new car. Lots of repoes as people can't afford to pay the high monthly payments. New ones are also sitting as people are cutting back spending.

Which may mean forever.

Because Hondas last forever. 😉

Is that tongue in cheek? Never had a Honda so don't know. Just always heard it was Toyotas that last forever.

No, that's stupid.

I wouldn't replace it if there's nothing wrong with it. I've still got my 2010 Ford F150 going strong, and a "new" 2017 I plan to drive for the next ten years!
