After Holiday

Arrived Frankfurt airport safely with after a long flight. It was a night flight back home which I prefer coz I could sleep and "adjust" to daytime of Germany.

I was supposed to get my car at the shop upon my arrival as agreed upon with the mechanic but to my dismay, all the wheels are still disassembled and mechanic didn`t do anything as he still need my go signal for another money repairs. Seigh, another 1,500-2,000 euros to have it done right. I already spent the same amount few months prior to my vacation.

I love my old car but I`m fed up with so much spending with repairs that could only last for few months. In short, I decided to buy another one. German government had this offer for those who will buy new car or at least less than a year old for that premium of 2,500 euros. This is in support for the more production in car industry.

This "abwrackpraemie" would last until next week.

I find it a waste of money buying a brand new car since after a year or so, you lost almost half the value of the car. Anyway, got lucky to get this 9 month old one, could avail. of the premium and still under guarantee, end of October, and paid 60% of the cost, after the premium.

Thanks to a good friend D. for accompanying me looking for right car. Now I could drive for 3 to 4 years without ( I hope so) car repair anticipation.

    Quoting  :
Goan, thanks. Spent the whole summer holiday in Phils. It was a nice recovery yes.

I made a failure, everytime bill comes I pay right away. I can`t sleep if I knew I owe someone and labor cost here 40 euros per hour, at least the carworkshop. Maybe that shop think I have money.

Your advise makes sense. I think I will keep that in my mind. Anyway, I don`t drive more than 20 thousand km. a year so 2 years should be enough to use this one.
