Boy do I need a new car...

[Lintasare]

2005 it was a new heater. 2006 it was tires, brakes and rotors and an oxygen sensor. 2007 I think was a good year, just needed a new battery. 2008 was the infamous $500 tune up after I failed an emissions test. This year...so far...last week it was $1100 for a new starter, new brake sensor wire, new front brakes and rotors. This week...new valve cover gasket and my power steering reservoir is leaking.

*headdesk*

My car is 14 years old with over 150K miles on it.

If I had money for a down payment I would be looking for a new car but I am broker than broke and I already canceled my trip to San Francisco this summer.

Just needed to get that off my chest.

Heck, it sounds like you already have a new car with all the repairs!

You must consider the *new* car payment vs. the yearly repair bill on the current car What kind of car is it? I have 114,000 miles on my Subaru and my Hyundai...I'll keep paying (reasonable) repair bills before I'll take on a *new* car payment

One of my cars is a 1995 Ford Winstar, but it still runs like a champ. Yeah, I am cheap when it comes to transportation...

What kind of car do you have? It may be worth paying repairs instead of a $300-$500 car payment per month plus higher insurance.

For those that asked I have a 95 BMW 325is, hand me down from my mom.
