Hey guys, how are you? I'm Pesterenan
and I wanted to show you guys, my little car
A Fiat Tipo, year 1994
I paid R$2.300 (US$1.040) for this car
and I spent the equivalent to R$12.000 (US$ 5.450)
to leave it the way it is now.
Looking at it now, you can say it's pretty good
but as I will show you later,
you'll see in what situation this car was.
It's only a little dirty, but I will wash it soon.
I'm only making this video to show the modifications I made in the car.
and how much I spent to leave it the way it is now.
There is much to do, some parts to buy
but when I finish with it, I will make another video.
I will wash it now, and I will be right back.
You must be thinking now: Wow! He spent R$12.000 (US$5.450) on a Fiat Tipo!? Wasn't much more worth buying a new car?
I thought on that after I saw what I would spend on wheels, tyres, suspension and the injection system
but if you think about it, this is what makes an old car come back to being a decent car.
And that bring us to the question, what is more worth, buying a new car, or an old car?
Before I answer that I will show you how the car was, and the things I did in it.
This was a video that I made right after changing the wheels and tyres and putting a new silencer on the Tipo, because it was without one...
The color was different, the original bright red.
The paint job was all scratched, the roof and the hood were almost without any paint.
And the car was very creased as you can see in the door...
Much of the cost of recovery was because of the wheels and new tires, because I bought them in the most expensive place.
The car had no windshield wiper, and the painting was already burned.
And the car still had many surprises waiting for me as well as any old car.
When I got this car it had 249.360km (154.945mi) I did not even realize it when I was testing the car.
While the car was with the previous owner, someone tried to steal it ...
They broke the glass trying to get the radio and got the front only, leaving the rest behind.
It's ceiling it is already falling apart, after all the car is 19 years old.
A funny thing were these Tempra seats...
Who has a Tempra know that the passenger seat is about 3 cm longer than the driver's seat ...
Which means that the previous owner bent the bracket to put it there.
Cool huh?...
Speaking of seats, I drew this scheme of black and red myself.
But to change the seats, I had to find the seats of a 2-door Tipo, which are very rare here.
Finally found the seats for R$120 (US$54) in a scrapyard, and this were their condition ...
And then what pays off more, to buy an old car or a new car?
The issue of the old car is more about patience and how much more you are willing to spend on it,
depending on the situation of the car.
Now on the issue of the new car, I suggest you to check this video on Canal do Otário,
where he shows how expensive it is to buy and maintain a new car here in Brazil.
That's it, now that you've watched the video, do not forget to give your rating,
leave your comment and share the video! See you later!
