I'm starting to give up on fixing my car. More things keep going wrong with it and I keep calculating up in my head how much it will be to fix it and getting it running and looking the way it was when I bought it nearly 4 years ago. I paid $3300 when I bought it, it's got 151,000 miles on it and a handful of problems to go along with it. I figure if I drop $1000+ to get it back to where I need it to be running I could maybe get another couple of years out of it...If nothing else major goes wrong.


What I want your input on is, should I keep dumping the cash into it or save up to get my next car.

I'm looking into getting an 02-04 Acura RSX Type-S now.

 

keep the car you have....it's one less expence to worry about. Sure, it'll break every now and than, but even dish washers break. Not having a car payment and having money to spend is way better than having a pig heavy, overpriced, rebadged honda integra.

I love rsx's 6speed ftw!

 

reaper, go jump off a bridge you fool Don't steer her in the wrong direction. If you get a newer car than get something worth getting... l

 

Look at it this way: You've dumped a lot of cash into the car already. Dump a bit more and you'll have the car running strong for another 150K miles. If it's paid off, tossing cash in for maintenance is better than a monthly car payment.

 

Definitely take Roto's advice here. He's thinking with great clarity and logic, which may not last much longer!

 

I have an '90 Hatch that I bought, and put money into and it's still on original motor and it almost has 280,000 miles on it and is still running. Keep your Civic, payments are a b*tch.

 

Hey now... don't be spoinling my efforts at getting a magic set of 10 numbers here I don't joke around when it comes to a women I happen to currently like...hehehe

 

Why are you so interested in her VIN?

 

I'd say Rsx if its managable, if not stick with the civic and arent VINs 15 digits?
