P
I drive 600 miles per week back and forth to work. That's 60 miles each way 5 days a week.
My car is 13 years old and has 250k miles on it. I bought it used 3 years ago for the fuel economy and price. It is a Saturn SC1, 32 mpg. I had heard they run and run and run.... I have proof of this now.
I spent $2k on it and have spent less than $1k in 3 years fixing various things.
Now it is going to need a valve job
$500. This will wear the pistons and rings out and use oil.
What do I do? Drive it til it drops?
Are there other cars, new or used that I should consider?
I know Saturn and Pontiac are going out of business.... wait until they practically give them away...
Cash is really tight, the economy is doing a number on me... wife is laid off, son out of a job n lost unemployment due to a glitch exemployer used so I support him and his bills, I haven't had a raise in 2 yrs and lost 2 weeks pay last year due to furlough.....
Just looking for some suggestions.
Any suggestions?
