My 89 Nissan Sentra Keeps On Going

I bought this car used from a girl at my work in the later part of 1995 when it was about 6 years old. I still drive it to this day. It is about 28 years old at this writing and I have owned it for about 22 years. Sure it's got another used motor in it and also another used standard transmission in it. Over those years parts have broke and got fixed.

My Steemian friend Hive account@artedellavita wrote a blog about replacing a fuel pump. I let her know in a comment that when you replace a fuel pump you won't have to worry about replacing that fuel pump for a long long time. She told me I should write a blog about it. Thanks Hive account@artedellavita.

Some have even asked if this car is for sale. What? Me sell this car? No. I like this car. Sure it leaks water in the rain and also leaks some oil. Even my mechanic asks when am I going to sell this car. I tell him, "So long as you can fix it. I will keep it."

When I was working at the telephone company I was an inspiration to one. A woman from work told me that she told her husband, "If David can keep driving his old car as long as he does, then we can wait at least 2 more years before we buy a brand new car." Wow. I'm helping people by just driving this old car.

This car has about 258,215 miles on it and I'm sure it can go a lot more. I figure the longer I keep it the more money I save. Do you have a used car that you'd like to keep for a while?
