Update Mom's Hyundai Matrix ? #3

Open nelsonic opened 5 years ago

nelsonic commented 5 years ago

@carolrmc bought her Hyundai Matrix (second hand1) from a Used Car Dealer in {YEAR} but the car was originally registered in 2002.

The car has served them well for the past few years:

The car has reached 200K km and is no longer as reliable as it once was.

Interesting fact: the Matrix is called "LaVita" in Oz: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyundai_Lavita

Last weekend we visited the same car dealer where @carolrmc has purchased both her last two cars. @carolrmc mentioned interest in a 7-seater to the Car Salesman and he suggested the Kia Carens

List of currently available Kia Carens on Portugal's biggest car listing website: image There is no such thing as a "cheap" one. The ones with the lowest prices are already 10 years old and have over 160k kms ... This would only barely be an "upgrade".

Mid-priced example: https://www.standvirtual.com/anuncio/kia-carens-2-0-cdri-7lug-140-cv-5p-ID8LTJFx.html image For sale by: "EstorilCar" Rua Professor Vitorino Nemésio 55 Loja Galiza., 2765-362 Cascais Spec: (2L Engine is of particular note. it will consume more fuel than the Matrix which is 1.5L) image

1Our family has always bought "Second Hand" or "Used" cars.

Mom is proposing buying the same car [again] as she already has. 😕

If it's what @carolrmc wants, fair enough. I would have got something much better.

@carolrmc how often (number of times per month) on average do you drive more than 200kms per day/journey?

nelsonic commented 4 years ago

another way of rephrasing the question: if you were to estimate, as a percentage, how many journeys per year do you undertake a round-trip of more than 200kms? e.g: "5% of round-trip journeys are more than 200kms" (Considering that most journeys are to school, the shops, meeting, Sintra/Janas or Lisbon)
