I'd think about paying to fix then start an agressive savings plan to buy a quality used car. Currently i have 97 honda crv. Once after getting some maintenance done at dealer, salesweasel asked me if i want to look into something new and more "in style". I said "Okay, so you want me to trade a car that is running great, that i've had paid off for 9 years for....something that 'looks' better." He hung his head low and said "Just asking...."

Or so they say... I'll wait for the bill to arrive next month. Current bill is $142.44 with taxes for Broadband internet, Digital Plus Service, and 3 boxes. No premium channels. It should now be $114, or so. Thanks to this website for the suggestions! I got Comcast to lower my bill $28/month for 6 months. Or so they say… I’ll wait for the bill to arrive next month.

Now its up to $100. I called and said I wanted to cancel unless they could give me a better price and all I got was $75 for slower internet and cable. I told them I was thinking about dropping TV entirely since I don't use it and that would give me more options if I was just looking for internet providers. I do watch TV but not much. They wouldn't do any better so I told them to discontinue it thinking that might motivate them. But no. Oh well, it doesn't get shut off for two weeks which should give me time to figure out something better with no interruption. Too bad I can't get FIOS here.

On purchasing a replacement car will you drive it till the wheels fall off or trade it in a few years? Till the wheels fall off, buy new and follow the maintenence schedule in the handbook. Edmunds.com is a good source for vehicle cost and comparisons on all types of vehicles both new and used. Good Luck Get a second opinion on the repairs, look for a shop that works only on toyotas.

How much money do you want to spend on purchase of car, how much cost will it incur per year based on the car type you buy, how much will you drive (use public transport?) and so on.
