Is possible to own a car for over 5+ years and not get bored of it? What about 10+ years?

I've had this piece of shit for 9 years, a clutch, a head replacement, and two timing belts and still enjoy driving it.
The trick is to have other cars so you can switch things up.

It entirely depends on the material.

I'm a first-time car buyer who just got his license.
My aunt and my grandpa each have a car they're willing to sell me, but I'm on the fence about them.
The first is my Grandpa's 2000 Cadillac Deville.
>$4500
>60k miles, only two owners
>17/24 mpg
>near perfect condition, grandpa was a mechanic and always kept it well maintained
>very light use, he rarely drives it anymore since he has so many cars now
>the only issue with it is that the leather in the driver's seat is a bit torn from old age
My main concern is that I'd be paying too much for it. Otherwise it seems like a great deal, but I'm still new to all this.
My aunt's car is a 2007 Camry LE.
>$2500
>167k miles
>24/34 MPG
>suffers from excessive oil consumption that was rampant with this model year of Camry
>would need to get an oil change every 3k miles and check on oil levels weekly
>otherwise in very good condition, never been in any accidents and no other major issues
It'd be much cheaper up front, but the oil consumption issue would require me to keep tabs on things much more often than I would need to with the Cadillac.
I can buy the Camry right now, but I'd have to wait a while before I can afford the Deville. Would it be worth waiting/saving for it?
Either car would mainly be used for driving to and from work, and not much else.

camry is much better than that junk northstar.
Buy $2500 Camry. Post it to craigslist for $5000-6000
Some teen girl's parents will buy it for her. Then go buy a car that isn't shit.

>>17319251
Neither. Post your local Craigslist.

In the US it's illegal to sell cars for a profit unless you have a dealer's license. You can serve up to 5 years in jail and/or a fine of $100,000 if you are caught curbstoning.

Grettings /o/,
So I just overfilled my car with engine oil like an asshole due to a faulty dipstick.
So far it just started dripping oil, but i'm afraid the consequences could worsen.
Will a simple oil drain fix this, or do I need to worry about engine damage already (possibly) done?

In all likelihood its fine. Just drain to an appropriate level and drive it.

Good cars.
I've had both a sedan and coupe, love them.
Few words of advise:
Grab S trim at all costs
>Akebono BBK
>LSD
>better exhaust
>Better wheels
>Better creature comforts like adjustable seat bolstering
>Not very good mpg
>Coupe has larger Aftermarket for goodies because it shares 90% of parts with 370Z
Common issues :
>Throttle bodies get gummed up and cause idle issues. 30minutes and throttle body cleaner clears it up.
>Slave cylinder on 6MTs are a bit of an issue, doesn't cause problems, you just can't really slam shift it. Can be easily remedied by an Aftermarket kit.
>7ATs before 2011 start out a little retarded and hunt for gears a bit. A TSB for a reprogram makes it much smoother. A tune will also fix it.
Other than that, pretty reliable. They don't ask for much more than maintenance and gas.
/o/ just hates them because they know nothing about them.

Had a g35 coupe for many years. Interior is...weird, but totally Nissan. I really liked the car in general.
The one thing that got to me was the exhaust...that Nissan drone. I got really tired of it after a while.
The transmission finally took a crap - previous owner had abused the car (boy racer shit...) so it finally gave out.
I'd have another one, if the exhaust weren't so annoying...

Why isn't anyone building new cars like this, just with a little updated safety, like seatbelts?
I'd buy one immediately.
The best part is, you can leave your hat on.

Cars look like the way they are today because that's the only way to get them to pass safety, mpg, and emission standards.

Those are inefficient, and were only made that way so they could travel on heavily rutted dirt roads.

From experience, OP, I can say that it helps you not stall the car when you do the whole process of launching up, and if anything happens, your car won't go backwards and hit whatever's behind it.
And because at first having the physical coordination to quickly remove your feet off the brake to the accelerator to a point you will accelerate just enough while you let go of the clutch can be hard for someone driving manual.
