[QUOTE="J Piroth, post: 1030168, member: 62488"] Believe me, I keep going back and forth on it. $2K is a lot into the old trac, but I keep doing the math of...."Well, if it lasts me another 20 months, that's only $100 a month I've put into it, which is a lot less than a car payment..." But then I wonder if it's just going to continue needing more and more done to it over that time (I know it needs plugs because I've never changed them, but who knows what else might pop up. It is a 15-year-old vehicle.), and then there's the inconvenience of not having it if I need it because of one issue or another. My schedule is too hectic most of the time to deal with that. It wouldn't be a case of buying a different $5K car. We would likely buy a new Forrester (my wife likes those and they get great reviews, just need to see if my growing kids will fit in the back seat) for my wife, and I would either drive her Pilot or the Trac if I decided to spend the money there. Decisions, decisions. [/QUOTE]
