Have you seen the prices of new cars lately?

It's like getting a second mortgage.

Even used cars are selling for more than they cost new a few years ago.


That's why I'm obsessed with making my current vehicle last as long as humanly possible.


Most people think "maintenance" just means changing the oil every 5,000 miles. Haha That's a joke. I am talking like rebuilding the engine, transmissions, and drive train. Replacing rusted body panels, and welding up and reinforcing rotted out frames.

At the farm we have made vehicles last past 50 years and over a million miles

Why make payments on new, buy junk and rebuild it at a 3rd of the cost of new. You got a bent frame! Fixable! You have a Rotten rusted out frame! Fixable! Blown engine or transmissions! Same Fixable!

Nothing is it fixable unless it looks like this


When it looks like this. Then it's too far gone to save

When I realized that every time my budget seemed to be okay, something terrible happened to my car and i needed to almost start all over again, i discovered leasing. True, if you hold onto a car long enough that costs more, i can budget monthly for the car costs!
