Message: [QUOTE="JohnFSilver, post: 3790254, member: 1618"] Breaks can be expensive. That said. If the car is paid off, for $800 you get a car that works . Treat a car as an expense. If you get a new car, what is the cost? If you repair it, that is like 2-3 months car payment. I say. Fix the breaks. clean the car and pay yourself what the car payment would be in a separate bank account. That way, if you have $2000-$3000 eventually in your car account you just pay for the maintenance. fiw breaks, car works for 3 years. You paid $300 a month toward a new car to yourself. You now have 10k, a car with 105k miles and you can go get another car and name your price. I have never done this. But this is the way to do it. Always great a car like an expense. [/QUOTE]
