When I moved here my first car was pushing 150K miles and was making noise, unidentifiable by Mr. Tire. and too embarrassing for me to go from here to Virginia each day.

I bought my new car two months later and three years later that car is at 133K miles and I have changed the timing belt, water pump, brakes, and tires. I don't care what noise this one decides to make. I'm fixing it and keeping it.

I still want a SUV or a 5 door but I will deal with what I have for now because putting $500-1K a year into a car I've used (vs. bought used) beats paying $2400-3600 or more a year to pay off one that is getting used up anyway.

IMO, you've been here long enough to know someone with auto mechanic skills who can do the work for you for cheaper than an auto center. Buy the parts, cook or buy that guy lunch, give him some green and drive on.
With that long list of repairs, I better give him dinner and a !!!!

I hate this car with a passion, that's why I"m so ready to put a bullet in it. It's electrical system is possessed. It's a soccer mom car and it reminds me of my ex
I'll fix it if I can't find something cheap that runs, but I'm ready for something smaller and more gas conscious.

Like a JEEP!

Just had it towed to a place.

Guess I'll at least get the fuel pump done and see how long that lasts me. I hate that damn car.:

You give him he gets no money. That's straight from the Pimpette handbook.

I feel you, but once you've done all that work you should be good to go. I mean you've probably put money into it already and replaced a few things. It's and investment at this point. Remember, after tackling the list it's $500-1k or $2400-3600 per year.
