[QUOTE="Drifter, post: 1055411, member: 13448"] As things get older, they generally need more care. Cars, people, amps - it does not matter. It is not about the money or the motor plan but about the risk of breakage as things get older. One would generally expect that a new car with zero km on the clock will suffer less problems than a 20 year old car that has done 250k km. (again a general statement as there will always be exceptions). Also, if you buy a 20 year old component, you don't know the conditions that the previous owners exposed it to. If there was no risk in owning an older car there would be no market for new vehicles as everyone would buy a 250k km mileage car for a fraction of the cost of new model. For you it may not matter as you will happily send it for regular repairs - others may have a different opinion and they would rather spend their R50k on new "mid-end" rather than 20 year old "high-end".
