Hello expert drivers, is car's look really important as the engine?

Question

what if your car has dents?

Answer 1

My car was originally red but is severely sun faded and scratched and dented. But I maintain it religiously and the interior is comfortable and spotless. I no longer care what the outside looks like because I don't have to see it when I'm driving and the car is a pleasure to drive.

Without a lot of money spent on the exterior this car has a very low resale value. But it's in excellent mechanical condition and it's been paid off for years. I see no reason to replace it with a newer car.

Answer 2

My car has dents, the tranny is no good, the motor has done 1000 000 ks, but I dont care, the wheels go round, and I own it!

Answer 3

Looks is the car which consist of many parts. Engine is a just a part of the car consisting of many parts. Parts can be replaced.
. Each person buys the car for the car looks. The engine can always be swapped out.

Answer 4

I think so, as I feel better driving a pretty car and if it has dents I fix them.

Answer 5

Bad looks won't strand you, but a bad engine will.

Answer 6

I once bought a 20 year old car at an auction. It looked like a teenager had painted it with rattle cans. The engine ran rough. Investigating, I found that the engine transmission and rear end were not original to that car. No only that, but the engine was not stock. I had bought someones competition hot rod that was a sleeper. Mechanically upgraded but left in bad appearance to fool the competition. I had the feeling that it was fair compensation because a few years prior I bought a pristine looking car that proved to be very high mileage and totally worn out.

Answer 7

I've seen cars look like a real turd on the inside but the engine runs like a charm. I would choose that over any outside looks any day. I don't know about you but I like something to get me to point B as Im leaving point A without leaving me on the side of the road

Answer 8

I can drive a car that is beat up that the transmission and engine are on their last legs as long as the suspension, breaks and tires are prime!
As a driver I want it to go where I want it to go and stop when I want it to stop with out having to worry. It can be a snail or even a slug of a car provided it can be driven with confidence.

Answer 9

It does, and it still runs great!

Answer 10

I don't know what you mean by expert driver, someone who specializes in cars or someone who has just had a lot of experience with driving. I'm going to guess that it's the second one and I would say that looks don't matter that much, to most people they do simply because it is a status thing
