We're offering our inexpert advice in all things automotive.
We might discuss your question on our podcast. Yes, this means that we've run out of ideas for episodes and are too lazy to do research.
Edit: Thanks for the questions everyone. We didn't have time to answer all of them on the show but I'll try to answer all of them on here. The episode probably won't be out for over a month since we've got a backlog of editing to do.
That depends. If you're paying a mechanic every 2 months, a car payment might be cheaper. If you can fix it yourself for cheap and you enjoy the car, I'd say keep it.
We went into more depth on used cars in these two episodes: Used Cars Part 1 Used Cars Part 2
i've been fixing it myself, and only recently got a job where i can take public transit. Coolant just turned to chocolate pudding, so I'm gonna replace the head gasket and then decide what I wanna do with it.
If you want to look on the bright side, if you can replace the head gasket yourself that means you're capable of pretty much any other repairs that might come later
thank u for believing in me <3
