Princess Blanca : The NA6
#52
I put more in maintenance and repairs into that high mileage Sebring every month than what our amortized Elantra lease payment was every month Adam, with the potential for a catastrophic failure that would have been a lot more :lol: Between the savings in gas, the fact that the money they gave us for the Sebring paid for the first 7 months of a two year lease (we traded it early) and the fact that you can't put a price tag on a car not being a safety liability to your loved ones or leaving them stranded in a dangerous situation, I'd say it's a good "investment". I did not say you're going to make money buying newer cars (and you dont have to buy a brand new one, just but a newer car that isn't a PoS), I'm saying you're investing in your financial stability, safety, reliability and sanity. Imo you shouldn't get complacent driving old, potentially unreliable cars. It could leave you in a really bad situation someday.

Or you know, you can super glue your engine together like Adam suggests and just "see what happens" :lol: Personally, I'd do the smart thing and go with plan A but clearly the old busted POS fetish with some of you guys runs deep as blood Wink
