I used to buy new cars. Not sure why - image? status? Keeping up with the jones's?
However as I have got older common sense seems to have clicked in and I realised this was costing me a lot of money with the value of the car depreciating dramaticaly as it was driven away from the dealer. Resale values were a nonsense compared with the purchase price.
So now I buy used. Some near new some not so new and with fairly high mileage. High mileage in a car has never really bothered me. My thinking on this is, "If it has done that mileage it must be pretty reliable." Backed up wth a reasonable service history. I was happy.
Anyway to the point:
I have couple of higher mileage cars that I like and want to keep and have been looking at additives.
I have often as I am sure most of you have, seen all the miracle claims for various oil additive. I have never bought these and always felt they were just a way of getting you to part with your cash.
What's your take on this fellow forum members?
Anyone got any positive or negative experience of engine/gearbox/power steering additives in their Renault?
