1994 Accord or a 2000 Focus Wagon?

[morrisos]

Hello, I need to ditch one car. Should I ditch a 1994 Accord LX with 121000 miles (runs great) or a 2000 Focus with 52000 miles (runs great)?
Both are paid off and I plan to keep either one for 2 more years. I only put on around 12000 mi/yr.

Thanks for any advice.

Hi, welcome to AF


I'd always keep the newer car. But if you have no preference in terms of which you keep and will be driving, take into account that depreciation has pretty much bottomed out on your Accord but not on the Focus. I'd personally keep the newer car but it's worth keeping in mind that it'll depreciate more over the next two years of ownership than the older car.
