Gives me an idea for yet another thread - who's starting stockpiling motors from the sweet spot years! (Late 90's early 2000's is the generally accepted range I believe)
Yoo hoo, waves...we have no intention of buying anything newer than mid noughties, and then only certain cars.
The recently bought 2005 Landcruiser should have lots of years in it, thats going to be fully rustproofed by me this spring and like our other cars overmaintained.
SWMBO 2002 Outback, the MOT tester reckons that'll run for ever, but if it doesn't then another mid noughties Scooby will replace it.
The mid 90's Merc is only now a summer use car, and when i get the right offer will be sold.
We've now have electronic braking AEBS, a step too far for me, i have no doubt electronic steering not mechanically connected to the car is only a short time away, not in a car i own.
These things are fine and dandy, and if people want all this techonololgy fine, fill yer boots, but lots of us don't and we're not going to.
