So, new car? Or fix the old one?

[derien]

It'll be almost $2,000 to fix, but looks in pretty good shape other than the damage done by the timing belt breaking (according to the mechanic). OTH a new car would be like $2,000 down. Less maintenance, maybe, in the next couple of years, but continuous payments. Buuut there's not really any good cars on the market - I want dependable and good gas mileage. Bleh, I think I'm talking myself into fixing the Aveo.

*blinks* What, like, NONE? There are NO good cars on the market? That's not true.

I like my Honda Civic a lot. Very reliable with excellent mileage (they make a hybrid, but it hasn't got any power, I've heard). My sister really likes her Nissan Versa - also very reliable, though a tad on the sensitive side (she calls it "Buster" after the character in Arrested Development). My parents just bought Hyundai and are very happy with it. If you want to fix your car, then of course you should do so - but there are some very good cars out there right now!
