It is a good idea to have regular inspections. I do not mind an old taxi. Some of the old Mercedes cars with leather seats, if they are well kept, are very comfortable. However, they should be tested for cleanliness, etc. It can be a pleasure to drive in an old car and I ought to know. I have driven nothing apart from old second-hand cars and am very happy with them. It is possible to get good quality models cheaply, but they need to be inspected.
