Man, I hate when cars fail! I drive a 1990 Jeep so when it went south, it really went down hard. The question is what to do? Do I spend the money to get it fixed or do I throw it away and get something newer? I am not talking new, I am talking newer, which means it could have problems as well. I know the problems my jeep has now and so there should be no more surprises. The question is always a hard one to decide. If I do repair it, it will be like I have a new car, except for all the other things that come with 25 years of wear and tear. On the other hand if I go get a used car I could be getting someone else’s problems. What to do? Of course I don’t have the money to do either but that isn’t really the point right now. The main problem is where to put the money I don’t have. The other issue is about trusting the mechanic. The guy I usually use is so busy I took it to someone else. The first repair I do with this shop and they tell me my car is toast. That makes me feel a little uneasy. So now I am calling around trying to find someone who can do the repairs for cheaper or deciding it isn’t worth it and going car shopping. My other least favorite thing.
