I've just bought a car made in 1979, out of choice, not budget and yes I 
would buy  another one.

Its a fair point though, but most modern cars require very little 
servicing in reality, since it really just involves easily wearable 
parts such as brake pads, tires and oil every 6000 miles or so, That 
would equate to a  service every 4 months with the amount of miles i do, 
  not many computers can stand 4 months without *any* servicing wether 
it be cleaning /tmp or reinstalling lookout.
