Been down this road. Its tempting to fix an old car that seemingly has only one issue. Trouble is, once you fix that you realize it was something else, or soon after something else breaks.

Point is, you think youre saving money but in the long run youre really wasting it trying to hold an old car together. Id recommend investing that money into getting rid of it and getting something new, just my thoughts.

I know that my 2011 Toyota Corolla just kept having a series of bad luck one after another. The motor controlling the wipers broke, and after I got that out of the shop both brake lines failed. After that, a couple months later the entire tailpipe broke off, and the final nail in the coffin was the power steering failing. Such is the way with having extremely harsh winters.

Parents bought me a brand new 2022 Hyundai Venue as a graduation gift. Didn't ask them for it, would have been fine with a used car, but in their words not mine "You need something high off the ground, and cheap cars are being sold for more than they are worth. We'll just bite the bullet and buy you a car that will work for the next 10 years, you just cover all the payments on it".
