Then they realize with all the things that will need repairing on their new one, it wasn't as nice of a car as they were lead to believe before the purchase.
Think about it, families/people generally do not sell a car if they are still using it and having fun with it. More often than not, it is the unreliable ones that have issues that get sold simply because someone is tired of fooling with it.

Yes, but I can fix the mechanical, I can't do body work.
And the entire post was saying that was my philosophy but I have come around to the idea of the devil you know (car you have done, or paid to have all the work done on) is better than the unknown. If I wan the nice car, I need to add the $15k to make it so. will the $15k and the $25k current value result in a $40k car? Only to me.......
