nova_mythWell, its fixed, for now anyways. I took it to a dealership and they say I need to take it back to get the fluid in the rear thing changed in 30,000 miles. Through 'negotiations' based on ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mmouse15 and my auto shop people suggestions I was able to get them to cover 90% of the cost even though my limited warranty apparently expired in Jan. of this year. Which means I paid $12 for over $200 worth of work (the diagnostic and repair). It will cost me about $140 when I have to get it done again.
If I do.
Because I got an offer for $15,000 in sell or trade in value good for 30days. I have no idea what to think. It sounds really good when I look at all the angels but at the same time I'm not really sure of my self in this stuff so.. I don't know.

Date: 2009-11-11 03:53 am (UTC)Do you need a new car? If the cost of your repairs is getting to be a burden, then a newer car might be a good idea. However, then you'll have to pay for an auto loan, which would be more money out the door.
Realistically, you're better off keeping up the maintenance and repairing than buying a newer car. It's never a bad thing to just stay with what you've got if it's working well.
Good luck with this.
