Ever go car shopping on a budget? What would be a better choice; a decent used car or a cheap new one? Thanks.

My own car is from the 1950's and is still running well. Many older cars are less troublesome and do not rely on computer technology for their proper running. Maintenance is, often, far easier - although, replacement parts can be, sometimes difficult to find, most qualified engineers, though, can 'turn' many on their lathes and surface with their cylindrical or horizontal grinders - driveshafts, too, can have their component ends milled accurately. Caburretors are easier to maintain and replacing head gaskets is relatively simple. Electrical systems are, often, simpler, too. Stripping down the engines is far easier - head gaskets, easy to replace. Brake pads, bleeding braking systems is simple. Many more advantages, too!
