"The statement is made for those people who consider the purchase of a $1500. vehicle that has very little maintenance done to it over the past 10 years. It is to be contrasted with the purchase of the exact same model vehicle at a price of $3500. where there is evidence of maintenance and care to the body and the mechanicals."
Can't argue with that. I have often advised people to spend a little more and get a better car.
In this case it sounds like a tossup. If Jim can sell his old car for $800 and buy the 190 for $800, and it needs no work, it would be a good deal. Otherwise who knows.
