Why didn't I just go buy a Honda?
Is this a trend with not being able to start the car? The past 2 days my car has had trouble starting up in the morning. I am thinking the starter is going now. I am going to begin pricing newer used cars this weekend I believe. Either way, I am getting screwed with all this money so if I decide to purchase a newer vehicle it will still be the same amount of money for insurance/car payment that I am shelling out every month anyways for repairs. What are the pros and cons though? I know that if I get a used car, I can be taking on someone else's problems. If I keep this older car, I am going to continue to run into problems as more miles are put on it. I cannot really afford a brand new car. I am just annoyed because I really don't want to take on another bill especially with the school loans kicking in in a couple of months!!!!!
