Getting 2nd hand is like going for lottery UNLESS you really knows abt car, parts, engine, then its WORTH it to get 2nd hand car. Most car experts usually go for 2nd hand car for its good value. However for newbies, 2nd hand car is quite dangerous coz you might spend a fortune trying to fix it up if there's hidden failure.

I used to think young lady driving short distance, car must be very good, until I see my wife drive. She drive nicely actually but when something goes wrong with car, she would still keep going without realising it until it kaput.

I would have notice the instance I drive the car that something is wrong. In the end, I fix things b4 it fail and save a huge amt of repair cost. While she drive until it kaput then complain repair cost high. So if lady drive and ignorant on cars, unless a husband or someone take care for her...that car is also gone case wan.
