She’s given me 18 years of good service so far (if we ignore the whole alternator incident) and will hopefully have quite a few more years. But she’s not worth a lot now, so the insurance is not worth paying the premiums for. If I can manage to not cause an accident and write the car off for about 5 years I should have saved back as much in premiums as an accident claim would give me.
Mine’s 17 years now and 120,000 k’s. One small bollard and hail damage which was fixed superbly but still maybe it’s time to trade her in for something safer.
That is such a humbling experience. A once state of the art vehicle reduced to a shitbox. Hugs.
