<prompt> Human: So I currently own outright a 2007 Honda Civic with 99,000 or so miles on it. My mother who lives in a nearby state is planning on buying herself a new car and wants to give her old car to one of my siblings 2010 Subaru Outback 128,000 miles She offered it to me first with the condition that I give my car to her as a swap and shell give it to my younger brother. Im not sure what the most frugal choice is in this situation. I miss driving a Subaru and I do live in rural VT. The civic struggles in winter but otherwise is a great car. Planning on figuring out what taxescar insurance I would have to pay on the new car. I assume my insurance would go up? Advice appreciated. Cross posted to rFrugal  <response>: The Civic. Has fewer miles. Burns less gas. Fewer parts to break. Parts will be cheaper.
