My son's old Nissan is still OK now and still has minimal repairing so far. If his Nissan cannot last for 25 years, he still can pay some money and change his old luxury Nissan to a 6-8 year old used Corolla/Civic or something even smaller like Yaris/Fit. And drive those cheap cars for just 1-2 years...
The most important thing is.... Only buy a N.A. car, no turbos even though the car is a Toyota!!!I think any poor young student should really appreciate those Japanese car makers. Without them, their lifes could become miserable!!!!
PS: My son also told me that once he got a Ph.D degree, his salary could become around 150KUSD a year!!!
(Not poor any more!!!)
)
(Knock on wood)
(I think my newer Lexus is also quieter)
(Sometimes I think my son feels like a MONK!!!
as she thinks she is a new driver and would like to have a good coverage on any unexpected!!!(She may try to lower the amount next year!!!)
