My best friend bought a certified 2002 A4 back in 2004 and he cracked 75k on it it just started failing like a siv.
By the time he traded it in he had dumped like 4300 into it and it needed a bunch more work.
My sister had saved up $2100 to buy herself a car and she needs to be alot of places at a lot of different times and was moving home from Boston, so the mass transit isn't the same.
She was eye balling this 2003 something or other and I convinced her to put $1800 down on a brand new Honda Fit, base model for $15,200. She kicked the leftover money to register it and has a $250 car payment, but zero worries. She'll own that car for 10 years and won't fix a single major problem on it during that time. I told her that she was in position financially to come up with the repair money that would inevitably come her way with that old car, plus she had the comfort of knowing this car would just work and reduce the stress in her life.
Shes been thanking me for 6 months now ever since.
