Day 89

REPAIRING CURRENT VEHICLE vs BUYING NEW CAR

for the sake of this segment, current vehicle will be referred to as Car A.

- Would need to spend more than what Car A is worth to make it roadworthy.

- Repairs would involve major servicing, all new brake pads & discs yada yada..

- Plus a trip to the panel beaters to fix the bumper and rear panel so i can repair the connecting tail light (which is the unroadworthy bit) and then would need to look at the axles on rear right wheel coz it's squeaking at low speeds.

- Car A is not really worth fixing. It has over 290, 000kms & is most likely going to die in the next year.. without hope of resuscitation.

- But... Car A is my baby.

- It still works........ right?

- I just spent 400 bucks on new tyres for the damn thing.

- Car A would not be worth much to a wrecker/mechanic.. so what would I do with it if i bought a new one?

- Buying a new car would effectively cancel my overseas plans. Plus from what I can see that's within my budget.. i can only afford cars with relatively high kms anyway. But at least they're roadworthy i guess.

- Get license back this week. Can't really risk driving an unroadworthy vehicle.

Rego is due in November.

..so I need to make a decision. Soon.
