<prompt> Human: Ive never been into cars. My house is nearly paid off, my cars are 2000 and 2008 and they are both paid off and I plan on driving them until the doors fall off. They look age appropriate.The problem is that now I have to take meetings and visit individuals and I cannot avoid them seeing me hop out of my car. Its at the point where I park away if I can and walk to the meeting. I dress sharply and Im on time and cars have never been a status symbol to me but its now to the point where people are actually distracted. They dont want to sign on to a project when you roll up in an 18 year old Odyssey, even if it is clean and well maintained.I dont want to buy new. My friend suggested a used classic style car where the age appears more like a choice than poor taste and bad finances. My buddy drives an El Camino thats probably worth 9K and youd think he drives a Porsche.personalfinance is frugal and so I know buying for style points goes against the ethos but I need your help. Im looking for used car but one that will age well.  <response>: If your car is important to your employer and clients, then they should be providing the car or paying for it.
